Reviews around price (4.71 of 5)

  • the price was great the pictures are excellent and I'm enjoying it
  • I'm giving it two stars because if you can tolerate the playback issues and slowness, the price with Xfinity internet TV and movie channels is hard to beat.
  • It is a great price and is WAY faster then our old Roku with newer features
  • Definitely worth the price and as a replacement for cable.
  • Trying to get to point to disconnect from cable services whose prices are outrageous.

Reviews around tv (4.58 of 5)

  • At first I assumed it must be the reach of my internet, but then I realized that a more distant TV has not had problems with a different Fire Stick.
  • If you have a great flat screen, but it is not a Smart TV, get the Roku before you upgrade
  • I have a smart TV but use the Roku on it simply because the Roku interface is so speedy.
  • The strip senses when the TV is turned off and then kills the power to all the other devices that only normally run when the TV is on.
  • This little sucker transformed my old brainless 720p TV into a modern smart TV with even streaming channels

Reviews around work (4.31 of 5)

  • The product worked great for about two months and then all of a sudden the wireless connection stopped working -- The signal strength would either be Poor or nonexistent
  • Streaming works great and no issues with picture quality.

Reviews around phone numb (1.00 of 5)

  • Again, there’s no live chat, the phone number you call won’t let you speak to a representative if you only own a roku stick, and the website just gives you common issue trouble shooting but won’t let you talk to a roku customer agent
  • The phone number of roku support for those of you that have a high tolerance for frustration is 816-272-8106.kc
  • Can't get any help with phone number says to use internet

Reviews around hdcp error (1.00 of 5)

  • I will continue to monitor the connectivity issues if this stick, if they subside and it becomes reliable I will repost, I have had the 4k stick lose signal once and a hdcp error once, otherwise I am content with Roku, I also have Apple 3rd gen and Apple 4ktv, but mainly bought the Roku for the Xfinity
  • So long as I turn the TV on before I plug it back in, this strategy also fixes the HDCP error
  • Still getting HDCP errors after following numerous troubleshooting steps.
  • The first is that every time I want to use it, it gives me an HDCP error.
  • I had to look up what the HDCP error means, it's a form of digital copy protection.
