Roku itself is great so far, but the controller is a bit small and having the volume buttons on side are kinda in the way, I’m constantly muting or changing volume when picking up or holding controller and I wish there were 2 additional buttons, one for a Guide to go directly to the live tv guide and one for back, to go directly to the station you were previously on.
The device works extremely well with my 17 year old plasma Pioneer TV. Very simple to set up. An improvement would be to have a remote that lights up but that's minor. Overall, I'm very pleased.
Netflix and UTube turn off after a few seconds. Prime was an issue at first, but my son did something to fix it and now Netflix and UTube are the issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought one last month and volume control button only works intermittently. No one to troubleshoot with. Riki acts like their units are disposable.
