    • Wow what a great device
    • BEWARE,after a couple of months using this device, last night after 9:00 pm
    • Most Roku devices I have been fine however this model is a big problem
    • I liked the device but after a year and a half the remote stopped working
    • It is a great device
    • Very good device
    • Since then the device gets hung up while watching Netflix often.
    • I love this Roku 4 - I have all of my streaming channels on this device - it is so much faster than using my Samsung Smart TV device for my streaming channels and I can use Roku for streaming my Spectrum TV by using WiFi - who needs a cable box anymore and now I am saving about $30/month!!
    • DEVICE IS STUCK

    • The remote is awful, but otherwise great device
    • I was a fire Stick TV user, I thought it was a great device, but then I tried Roku
    • Overall it is a terrific device, except for the lack of the browser
    • Easy to install and a great device.
    • I believe it's because of temperature issues, as the device gets really hot
    • Its been a great device so far.
    • So up until a week ago this was a fabulous device
    • So when i lost my remote and saw that there was a 4 out, I trusted Roku to have another great device and made the plunge
    • All my other devices in the house have no issue at all with connecting, so this is isolated to the Roku.
    • Excellent device
    • This device works flawlessly
    • This Roku 4 device rebooted frequently and overheated constantly
    • Roku is the best streaming device out there
    • I still LOVE my Roku devices, but the Roku 4 consistently overheats and run the fan loudly
    • Great 4K device.
    • This device doesn't stop working when the wind blows the wrong way or a cloud is overhead
    • Loved my previous Roku devices
    • I still LOVE my Roku devices, but the Roku 4 consistently overheats and run the fan loudly
    • Great device, user friendly, and sleek design.
    • Having all of my media so beautifully organized, displayed and easily accessible on the Roku (and all my devices) has been delightful!
    • non stop no problem even while the device was getting too hot ( I mean it's not like the thing is on me
    • and so, I decided to get the newest 4 model, great device but failed after 2
    • I love this product, it is my second device
    • Plays 4k h.265 mkv files as claimed, and is one of the few device capable of doing so at full standard bitrate
    • Great device
    • The devices are fast and the quality is great
    • Be advised that this devices are corrupted and it Needs an INVESTIGATION.This type of issues are UNACCEPTABLE
    • Since my AT&T cable box was also a hot device I just figured these type of devices get hot
    • Great streaming device
    • Unfortunately this is the first bad Roku device I've bought (generally I love their products).
    • Wonderful little device.
    • Now I seem to get the "Device is running too hot - and then a choice to turn on cooler, turn off".
    • as nice as my other roku devices, the remote finder is a great addition
    • Best device on the planet.
    • I have owned Roku products from the early days and the Roku 4 is by far the worst device they have produced.
    • This device has serious issues where the audio and the video come out of sync on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video
    • Great device
    • They have discontinued the Roku 4 and have refused to fix the issue or recall the defective devices.
    • At the end of the day, all you want is to watch some damned movies...why should you have to modify, enhance or buy any secondary cooling device?
    • The image glitched out and distorted, and finally the device hard-locked
    • Absolutely LOVE this streaming device
    • This device doesn't stop working when the wind blows the wrong way or a cloud is overhead
    • Excelent device
    • Instead, you have to use another device (like an ipad or iphone) to connect to the Slingbox, then connect that ipad/iphone to the Roku via the Roku's Slingplayer app.
    • All in all, a solid device
    • Ok Roku, you've developed a good device, now it's time to reign it in and help users take more control over where it can go and what it can do.
    • I love this device.
    • Amazing device
    • When I told them the device is defective because I need to physically access the device to wake it up, they responded with the following statement (this is a copy/paste of their email)
    • I love this device
    • excellent streaming device with lots and lots of apps.
    • This device has very serious flaws, and is the second one I've purchased through Amazon
    • This device was great for the first few months, however slowly went down hill thereafter
    • The device, when it's working, is great
    • The device will overheat after 3 or 4 hours of continuous use and then we experience constant reloading of our programs.
    • Love this device!
    • The remote is awful, but otherwise great device
    • I only use wireless for portable devices so the support for a wired connection was a significant factor in my purchase decision
    • The device crashes every time I use it

    • Other than that, we like all the ROKU devices we have.

    • Good streaming device.
    • Great streaming device with great picture quality
    • All these devices have their own little glitches, just the way it is.
    • Great device
    • This device gets hot, seemingly hotter than it should, and the fan is constantly audible
    • The device works well and I did not find any issues
    • This is an awesome media device, you can get any app you want and any media you want.
    • For some reason, the Roku seems to be the most popular streaming device
    • But on just about every other metric, I can wholeheartedly recommend this device.
    • But you say that restarting the devices fixes the issue
    • It's the best streaming device I've ever enjoyed.
    • This is probably one of the worst streaming devices I have ever purchased
    • The device worked for 2 years
    • If you live downtime or in a highly populated area, you're stuck sharing the same 8 wireless channels as all your neighbors, as this device doesn't support conencting to an AP running on one (or more) of the 16 DFS channel "in the middle" of the spectrum.
    • Nice device.
    • After weeks of going back and forth with Roku support, I told them the device is defective because I have to unplug and re-plug the device in to wake it up
    • I Purchased this device less than a month ago and it is already broken, it won't even turn on
    • The device itself and the experience are incredible
    • The device works great
    • Great device only if the built-in wifi works properly!
    • Once hdmi connection is broken, device has to be reset
    • This device is Ad supported
    • As it is my primary TV viewing device, it is a pain to say the least, but the device is getting worse - now about every third or fourth use, it will refuse to let the remote turn it on
    • Its a great device to have, thank you.
    • Of course I can always hook up that "other" device from Apple, but I truly prefer the ease of use of the Roku 4!
    • This device is awful.
    • Takes a bit of set up with the Roku account, but its a fantastic device
    • Yesterday, my Roku device stopped working all of a sudden
    • As soon as I hooked it up to my TV the device became very hot and never was able to see an image on my television.
    • Although I don't see much upgrade from the previous version, this is a reliable device I use daily.
    • The device is intermittent when connected to Wi-Fi
    • This roku device clearly states on the packaging and manual that it supports Dolby Digital:Audio SystemSound Output ModeStereoBuilt-in DecodersDolby Digital, Dolby Digital PlusFunctionsDigital player, network player
    • I would have given this device 5 stars easily as it is really a great device.
    • Amazing device!
    • The device isn't capable of decoding many popular audio formats - only passing them through
    • However my tv does not support 4k devices.
    • This device does not work without you giving them your credit card information.
    • No it's not near other hot devices
    • Other than the lack of info from Roku, this is a really great device.
    • However, after ordering and installing this device (nice device btw, much better picture) it did not resolve me Roku 4 problem.
    • It's a solid little device too
    • I have 3 roku devices, totalling well over $250, this is not the way to keep a happy customer
    • I thought this was a very nice device during the couple of days I had it.
    • Video plays for 1-2 minutes before the device becomes completely unresponsive
    • I would not recommend the "upgraded" device
    • The device works fine without the remote (albeit very hot as other people have pointed out)
    • However in general the device is useful and it does allow you to enjoy 4K content
    • Great device
