I bought four of these for four out of five tvs in our home. They work great. Actually got one of my soundbars to work where the remote from the actual same brand TV as the speaker. Three of the TVs are Vizios while the fourth is a Magnavox. All four TVs now only need the Roku remote. I ended up ordering a fifth Roku for the Vizio smart TV. The Roku works much better for accessing apps than the smart TV.
I am on the second of these both are noisy to the point that they are not usable. I put my original roku in place and it works fine. I will not try this model again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Ron, thank you for the feedback. We'd be interested to hear more about your experience regarding the noise you described. What kind of noise was heard? Did this happen while you were streaming or all the time? Please contact us directly at support.roku.com so that we can assist.
Started out well but with new updates it sucks. Loses connection, loses volume, and skips ahead on pre-recording programming. Now just a boat anchor that I’m scrapping. Waste of money.

Purchased model 4802 two weeks ago . Tried to get it to work for 7 hours (including 1 hour on chat with a clueless support person). Returned it and received a replacement unit. Got this one working in 20 minutes but it sometimes freezes such that I have to unplug it from the power receptacle for about a minute then plug it back in and restart at the home menu. Very irritating to say the least. Would not buy again!!
Roku stream sound bar etc works on all apps except Fox, Where it is super, super glitchy, if it works at all. Happens on multiple TVs 95% of the time.

The speed alone is worth it. When you click on a channel it’s instantly loading. No more waiting a few secs for the player to the load the channel first. ONLY DRAWBACK is that there is no MicroSD card slot for added memory, now I’ve got a spare and nowhere to put it.
Constant HDCP errors (Google it) and other weird issues with the HDMI connection (using the included HDMI cable). This is an absolute piece of junk and is easily the worst streaming device that I've owned. I will never choose Roku again.

Lost the remote control somewhere in my house. Started shopping for a new one when when I notced my model had a remote finder. Followed the instructions and heard a very faint beeping. Delighted this function really works .
