Good product for the money

I bought the Roku to stream Netflix when our Playstation decided to stop working. The good thing about Roku is that it not only has Netflix, but it also has other channels that stream for free as well as channels you can pay for. If you are already a member of HuluPlus as well, you can also download the app on your Roku and stream it right to your TV. Another added benefit of the Roku is that you can download a remote for the Roku to your phone and it will search for the Roku on your Wifi and automatically connect to it. I found the remote on the phone to be faster than the actual remote that came with the Roku USB streaming stick. Set up for the Roku is simple if you have a newer television, as we did. You just take the USB streaming stick and plug it into a USB on your television and follow the set up process. The only issue I had with the Roku is that it would freeze up from time to time and I would have to reset it..after I did that I would have to download all of my channels that I watched again and sing into everything all over again. I think it's a great product to have, but could definitely use some improvement. If I didn't have the issue with the Roku freezing up, I would definitely give the Roku another star.

Love the small size, but have some issues

Although I love the small size, I feel this unit is overall harder to work, as the remote not always finding the unit - have to use the phone app primarily. It unit also couldn't fit tin the space for our living room TV (as the TV is wall mounted) so we had to move to the bedroom unit. Overall, I wish I had purchased a different unit.

Finally Something a Large Family Can Agree On

Was being forced to pay for convertors by cable company and Apple TV did not meet the needs. Our Rokus allow us to leverage the cable app plus Netflix, Hulu, and others. We have them on 4 TVs. Has been one of the only things our family has agreed on, now if we can figure out dinner......

Confusing product information on roku website

I researched when buying Tv and roku. The TV has MHL port which I intended to use.
I never got any information on Roku website, mentioning MHL version is a separate product which it is. This one is quite slow too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm having issues with the remote. Tried new batteries...no help. It seems that I have to remove and reinstall every time the remote fails to operate.

Different Strokes

I have one Roku and two Roku sticks. Each control seems to operate slightly differently, as do the devices themselves. Ultimately they do what they are supposed to, but my tired old mind gets so confused.
