I bought this to eliminate the abundant commercials, and that it did well. since we watch TV in a darkened atmosphere it needs illuminated keys. Recommend it with reservations.
I bought this device to replace my older device, which I had more than 5 years. Frankly the older device was better. This stick does not retain my TV settings and every time I turn the TV on I have to go thru multiple steps before I can start watching any programs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, we appreciate you sending us a review! We're sorry about the experience; this is not what we aim for. In that case, we recommend trying a different HDMI port or doing the setup portion on a different TV to isolate the issue. Additionally, the device can be plugged into your TV's USB port for power or a wall outlet. If you currently use the TV as your power source, try plugging the device into a wall outlet instead. Finally, ensure your remote has a fresh set of new batteries, just in case. We hope that this gets you up and streaming soon! Roku Customer Advocate
The Rocco is very cool, but I find that my TV has most all of that built into it, so why did I have to spend the extra money for this device. After spending more than $25,000 for cable over the past 35 years, it feels good to cut the cable cord in two.
