So I upgraded from 7.7 to 8.0 and it killed the roku 4 on this Toshiba TV

I have a Roku 4 smart tv.

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!!

Hulu streams better through it than going straight through our LG smart TV (maybe

Is it better than the Apps built-in to your Smart TV?

You will need a 4k compatible tv though to use this and have it work correctly and even then you may have to reset it once in awhile.

Installed with a LG 450 LED TV.

If you haven't used Roku before and have smart TV

Although eventually it will probably just be built into the smart TV for more streaming content.

I have a Vizio smart TV and watching Netflix and YouTube through the Roku connected via HDMI is a different, much improved experience

New to this and have a smart tv

Personally, I like using Amazon Fire TV 2015 the

I connected the Roku set top to my Samsung Smart TV and have been enjoying it for months with some occasional hiccups listed below-Freezing at least once or every two weeks-Unresponsive remote-OverheatingI've cut

I got a GE universal remote (model 33712 that also lights up in the dark) for only $5 that also works my amplifier and TV.

it is connected to a smart Tv that unfortunately doesn't get the wifi signal but Roku DOES!!!!This week is my third Roku bought (2nd Roku4).It is not necessary to explain more

Definitely worth it, would recommend to anybody who doesn't have a smart tv

Why or Why not choose a media hub like the Roku over your smart TV’s internal apps

I found that I was already watching a great deal of streaming shows on my smart Toshiba TV, but I wasn't happy with its very limited number of streaming apps.

I have a ton of smart TVs, but the manufacturers never upgrade the software and after a few years they usually suck really bad.

From what I've seen of smart TVs, I'd just as soon hook up a Roku than use anybody's Smart TV features.

The Roku 4 far surpasses the features of my not-so-"Smart TV".A headphone port on the remote???

If you are the kind of person who really enjoys watching dubbed movies and TV shows where the video lags the audio by

I still find myself using my computer for certain things, and my smart TV/DVD player can do many of Roku's options as well

Works much better them my first Apple TV (the first released on the market)

One quirk, that I have seen in other reviews/forums is that returning from standby is an issue, even if one of these compatible TV sets is used

We especially love Netflix and ACORN TV as well as Amazon TV and many many others.

My father has a Smart TV, which has the built in apps and internet

The streaming apps are current and can be updated to the latest version (not on my smart TV) and the huge selection of streaming apps is enormous.

One caveat: we have not attempted to stream 4K, as our TV doesn't have 4K capability

It turned my HDTV into a smart TV works great.

I really prefer over the apps in my smart TVs

Got it for Netflicks to help and Amazon prime my "smart TV" isn't that smart

I love the ROKU TV and I'm glad I purchased this too

Bought this for a non smart TV in my wife's sewing room

Eplide why trying to empty your wallet?I have a Samsung dumb TV

If you want to watch TV in bed without your spouse killing you, this is what you want

Not only does this product have more services that connect to it than most smart TVs, but it is also less buggy and more reliable than my old Android OS and Samsung smart features

While smart technology can team up with smart TV's and turn the flatscreen on when you awake your Roku

Cons of roku 4:The voice search is not near as good as the fire tv

But there were too many things about it that I must not have perfect - this TV is magnificent.

I have since also purchased a UHD Smart TV but it does not have HBO

WOrks like a charm, but hardly ever use it because my smart TV streams all the services I subscribe to.

My smart TV does everything Roku does better, except the ear buds

I decided to upgrade the a ROKU 4 to get the voice command, also i'm probably going to be getting a better TV in the near future

Love the tv, just wished the Roku would work with it.

Very disappointing in that it gets really nothing much more than my Smart TV...

The buffering is not as good as the fire tv

I probably won't buy another smart TV

Great quality TV thru the HDMI

Giving up on Roku and using the apps as part of my Smart TV from now on instead.

Great fix for a Samsung Smart TV that is still being sold even though the company has known for over 2 years that the links for streaming services do not work.

Free TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime!!!

I don't have any of these issues when I watch the same things from the smart tv channels

I wish there was a back TV mount like the Roku

I have a smart TV but prefer the Roku over the apps on the TV

Although I have two 'smart' tv's (one a new 4k

This is my first Roku, purchased after too many headaches with the never-updated apps on our "smart" TV

It also greatly outperforms the so called "smart" features on my Samsung Smart TV.The price of this product is easily justified if you just buy the regular version of a TV instead of a "Smart" TV and use the Roku 4 instead.

My so called smart TV, Sharp Aquos, went stupid

Thank you for making her tv into a smart tv with the cost

I used to hate TV until I purchased this Roku 4.

We purchased a Samsung Smart TV 2 years ago and haven't used the Smart part of it since we got it

The ROKU 4 actually makes my TV look better than I have ever seen it

I plan to buy another one for our other smart tv.

We have 4 smart TVs and they all have problems playing the amazon app

To watch free tv is a little deceptive I am just beginning to understand a little.

It is Free TV, sort of, but still way better than cable or satellite

If you have a 4K TV and want more channel and app options from what your smart TV might already give you, the Roku 4 is a great option

Now my samsung tv is five years old but one of my Roku's works on a 15 year old 12 inch color screen, works great

The onscreen menus are the same every single smart TV comes with, so again, what did I just buy?

Truthfully, if your smart TV offers everything you want in terms of apps and content, then the Roku may not be for you

My Samsung TV is not HDCP 2.2 compliant without the purchase of a $400 "Samsung SEK-3500U/ZA Evolution Kit" box.

I even changed TV's from a vizio to my samsung and the samsung it would not work at all.

My wife falls asleep watching TV and I always have to turn on captioning with the volume way down - now I can just plug in headphones and continue to enjoy my show while she peacefully sleeps

We decided to purchase another Rokue simply because of all the features and channels is offers in comparison to what a smart tv offers.

However, if you want to broaden your choices of online content or maybe you have a TV in your home that isn’t a smart TV and doesn't offer the option to stream online content like Netflix and Hulu….Then in a case like that a media box like the Roku is one of many solutions

Go for it, if you've got a fancy tv, it's worth it

(2) Poor interface with our LG smart TV

(some call it an HD box) you can hook up to your smart TV

I LOVE that my living room TV is now a "smart" TV.

Don't waste your money get a smart tv instead

I notice on the Roku 4 is that it can take a voice command for searches, but I rarely (never use it).The Roku 4 freezes a lot (to the point you will stop watching TV), or freezes and then fast forwards so video catches up with audio.

Apple TV doesn't support Amazon TV.

The streaming 4K quality from ROKU 4 was much superior to the apps on the smart tv

I used to have a Roku 2 which had zero problems but I gave it to my parents a year ago to use when I got my 4K Smart TV

We use only OTA TV (no cable) using ROKU as an addition for lack of expensive cable TV

Get for youtube and other free TV.

Like when my children’s tv is too loud I can block them out lol

I would recommend this, because it is going to do everything a smart TV does which makes it a great buy, but if you are going to purchase one or the other, get the FireStick.

I do not use it with a 4K capable TV, so I can't speak to that, but it is more reliable than the Roku 3 on my 1080p TV.

The smart tv apps are chosen by the manufacturer, and don't let you add your own channels, but with Roku you can get just about anything

My Samsung smart TV has a defective WiFi

We keep ours in the bedroom for access to Plex and Netflix as well as viewing tv shows we enjoy.

To watch free tv is a little deceptive I am just beginning to understand a little.

t would recommend this Roku player to everyone.
