but alas, I still have a hot unit that does not work as it was advertised
The Roku 4 far surpasses the features of my not-so-"Smart TV".A headphone port on the remote???
An undocumented feature is that the Roku 4 will work with IR remotes such as the ones offered from Logitech and even Roku's own IR remote from previous models.
I really like all the new and improved features from my other ROKU units.
The roku was easy setup, easy to use and I love the remote/earphones...great feature

They end up everywhere.- I LOVE the picture and sound quality!
But the content was great, the user interface was well done, and the picture and sound quality were both good
However, after ordering and installing this device (nice device btw, much better picture) it did not resolve me Roku 4 problem.
We have a dog that knocks the TV screen whenever an animal appears (which is more often than you realize) and this movement/shock/vibration often causes the Roku to falter or fail - the picture at times goes blank and I must reset the Roku by unplugging the unit and then restarting again.
It's faster and the picture and sound quality are exceptional

Their boxes work very well, but I expect longer than a year or so of life.
I read reviews and thought this would be the Cadillac of set top boxes
Well i am now using a android box more and using a roku 2 to to watch playon
As far as this box is concerned, the quality is poor, it is one more unit between your internet and your TV interface you do not need, and the picture is horrendous.
Since set top boxes are Roku's only product, I thought Roku 4 would be top of the line

If you're okay with not having a remote for your device and purchasing a device that doesn't work as it was intended, then this is the streaming player for you!I have had multiple streaming devices over the years
Overall the best 4k streaming media player in my opinion.
But I'll be returning the Roku and continue my search for a fast reliable portable USB media player.
Roku is also a very good MP3 player with it's USB port and connected to an audio system via it's fiber optic port.

Don't like the software interface, and all the apps are looking outdated.
The second one, the Roku 4 I am reviewing, works much better but there a few things which bother me; no power button, it can only be turned off only after navigating thru 5 menus; the interface on some of the apps are very blunt and/or simply plain, the fan, yes, it has a fan, is noisy when in use, some of the automatic features, like sleeping, do not work sometimes, hence the fan; it does not have bluetooth capabilities, like apple devices, some purists would call me names because of this, since it actually communicates to the audio in the remote via bluetooth (you can connect headphones to the remote muting the sound anywhere else) on the positive side it can access Amazon and Vudu apps, it sports 4K capabilities, a must for new TV's,I also I could state the idea of the Roku is better but the performance, although I understand it is affected by various factors like Wi-Fi speed, applications design and capabilities, completely out of the Roku device itself, could be better
The interface when reviewing movies to watch isn't all that great
Love the voice search(which actually works well), and the interface is easy to use
Absolutely hate the Netflix user interface on Roku 4, versus Roku 2.

The purpose of this review is primarily to alert potential buyers about a semi-common issue that was (at least early on) an issue for this model, and possibly also the Roku 3.I was an early adopter of the Roku 4 model, purchasing it eight days after it became available on Amazon
The remote - the battery cover broke the 2nd day we had it, the clip that keeps the back piece on broke off and we now have to secure the cover with electrical tape
And yes, that will work, for a week, a day, an hour, five minutes
I installed the product an the same day one, the remote stopped working, it does not pair with the device, sucks!
2 days after the 30 day warranty expired, the remote failed

From freezing screens at 200 MBPs connection to quickly draining batteries of the remote, Roku has been giving me a lot of problems and with Chromecast evolving, NVidia Shield 2017 costing $199 and TV having apps built into
Besides the poor remote, and the dim power-on indicator, and the times Roku fails to power-up properly, I like Roku a lot
The only negative is on YouTube, the app freezes a lot when playing video.
The Roku 4 has lots of channels and will satisfy 99% of all buyers
Big fan of Roku and love a lot of the features of this model

I should have trusted the bad reviews here more than I did.
We will pass on this feedback.(03:14:54 AM) ROKU CUSTOMER: If Roku would like the newest 1 star review on Amazon removed, let me
I don't understand how a product could be so bad and have so many good reviews
The second one, the Roku 4 I am reviewing, works much better but there a few things which bother me; no power button, it can only be turned off only after navigating thru 5 menus; the interface on some of the apps are very blunt and/or simply plain, the fan, yes, it has a fan, is noisy when in use, some of the automatic features, like sleeping, do not work sometimes, hence the fan; it does not have bluetooth capabilities, like apple devices, some purists would call me names because of this, since it actually communicates to the audio in the remote via bluetooth (you can connect headphones to the remote muting the sound anywhere else) on the positive side it can access Amazon and Vudu apps, it sports 4K capabilities, a must for new TV's,I also I could state the idea of the Roku is better but the performance, although I understand it is affected by various factors like Wi-Fi speed, applications design and capabilities, completely out of the Roku device itself, could be better
Other reviews complain of a loud noise, but my Roku is running completely silent.

Maybe I give it another try once I know the overheating problems have been corrected and more 4K contents besome available.
I gave up on tech support because it felt like each tech was treating the same issues as a new problem which was going nowhere
But when some channels consistently have a 2-4x greater sync problem than other channels, it becomes clear that Roku is doing the channel developers no favors in helping them to build apps that are free of lip-sync issues.
The other problem with it is the remote burns through batteries like mad.
The fan isn't a problem for me but others have complained about it

Roku 4 gets extremely hot, short battery life and unit has a tendency to stall on the regular causing you to either turn off unit or remove batteries .. upon further investigation on the internet, I discovered that remote freezing is common and instructions on how to fix this issue was posted
Their response was that this is a wifi remote and therefore drains batteries very quickly and that this is normal.
I don't even use the roku anymore and it still drains batteries; and guess what?
I would highly recommend this unit for first timers as well as those that want to upgrade..
After several hours with the screen saver on, the unit was just as hot as when it was showing a movie or sitting idle with no screen saver.

It worked as it's supposed to on the first unit, but not on the replacement
The only option I was given was to go into the device privacy settings and disable ad tracking - something that I doubt will have much an effect except maybe it will stop showing ads designed for an adult male to a 9 year-old girl

The device is hard wired so wireless network is not an issue
I have this connected on hard wire ethernet (instead of WiFi) and it works perfectly
My Sony BluRay player is older and never would recognize my wire, but worked fine on Wifi
Both devices are hard wired to the same network and hard wired to the same TV, so the problem must be with the Roku.
The fact that it routinely cuts outs (lights start flashing, audio connection start "popping", video freezes) even though I have it on a hard wire network connection, THAT I cannot live with.
