I bought this to update my early Roku, unfortunately it could not be used on one of my tvs that I chose not to mount on the wall- the stand was in the way. I used it on another tv and it was perfect . it depends on where your HDMI connection is on the set.
The remote has issues from time to time staying connected. I use the Roku app for Android so that is a nice backup. Seems like it can be just a bit slow in loading sometimes.
I bought this so that I could access the shows from my second tv in my basement studio. This newer design had come out just after I had bought my original Roku. I just wish that it didn't need an electrical power source.
