I am disappointed in this model. Has a hard time connecting to WiFi and sometimes just stops while watching TV. Previously had a Roku stick that worked wonderfully for years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought several of these for my house after cutting the cable. They work great! The only downside was figuring out the wiring for a 20 year home theater system.
I’ve tried many other streaming entertainment devices, but ROKU tops them all, with its performance, available applications and user interface. The themed environments provide nice visuals when apps aren’t in use. Great product!
The Roku as easy to install and we have been able to download channels and apps that have free programs. We have not been watching that much due to health and holiday activities so cannot comment on that. The only negative is the lack of a dedicated on off switch for Roku only that does not affect the TV. otherwise OK.
