Simple install and works well

Roku works well and easy to install on three separate TVs even at my age, 76! Only annoying feature is mute is easily activated just by picking up the remote.. Suggest it would be nice if volume and mute positions on side were exchanged with each other on future versions of Roku to avoid this.
I bought the ROKU adapters for 4 TV's and one quit working within a month. I purchased a more expensive one and it works fine. This is probable ROKU's plan to get you to buy the more expensive adapters. The only reason I am using ROKU is I made a mistake and purchased a ROKU TV a few years ago.
What I like: it has a small footprint; easy setup; reasonable price; the remote is laid out well with the buttons you use most near the top. What I dislike: volume and mute buttons on the side of the remote. Half the time I pick it up, I change the volume on the TV, or I mute it. Just by grasping the remote. Annoying. But an even bigger pet peeve is the "Auto power savings" setting has only two choices - NONE or After 20 minutes of no interaction. If you set it to none, the Roku appears to never power off. If you set it to the 20 minute thing, then if you pause live TV, after 20 minutes it shuts off and you lose the paused program. How about more options? Such as 2 or 4 hours?
