Remotes are Junk

Overall been happy with the Roku player except for the remote. The remote keeps losing sync with the main device or stops working altogether. Although they claim over 2000 channels, most are not worth anything and only the ones you pay money for are worth bothering with.
Channels and content are very nice but the reception is poor. I cant get an app for my PS4 to watch Time Warner Cable so I bought this for that primarily. On the TV next to the wifi it works great. Up in the bedroom wont connect. All other devices all over the house connect fine, including the Wii and PS4 right under the TV. So I got a repeater. It connects when the repeated in on but my wife's Kindle and iphone 4 won't. So i have to plug in the repeater when I want to watch TWC via Roku and unplug it when I am not using to Roku.
Many good apps but poor remote control performance

I've had this product for about a month and enjoy all of the streaming apps and networks. The remote doesn't work half of the time but I use the Roku app on my smart phone to compensate. Well worth the cost.
I bought almost a month ago. very easy to use and install. my complaint is that almost every time we use it, it looses the connection and has to be reset. I am getting tired of it
I bought this for a second tv. It works just as well as my roku 2 without the device being out in the open. Only complaint I have is the remote stops working every once in a while giving me tulip remove the batteries. After that, it works fine. I also wish the buttons on the bottom could be reprogrammed. I use Hulu and Pandora, neither are on the bottom but as always available through the menu.
