Reviews around price (4.72 of 5)

  • The frustration of waiting for the roku is gone and the price was right
  • It is a fantastic replacement to the ridiculous prices you pay for cable.
  • Affordable price with premium features and everything that we have come to expect from Roku.
  • Aside from the somewhat steep price we really like this player!
  • If your thinking about purchasing this Roku premier, just do it, good quality and even greater price!

Reviews around stream (4.54 of 5)

  • Older Ruku 3 using WiFi would get audio break up while streaming from amazon prime
  • Our 5-year-old 1080p "smart" TV was struggling just to provide a fuzzy, inconsistent stream from both Netflix and Amazon.
  • Great streaming device easy to use high quality picture
  • If you have a 4k TV, this is an amazing streaming device.
  • Local streaming, which, on my network is 10/100 with no surprise users eating bandwidth as it;s just me and my wife, is terrible no matter what client I use

Reviews around player (4.53 of 5)

  • Also, the 4K UHD channels would periodically freeze as though they were buffering
  • The player works great with the remote from my old Roku2
  • For the Full HD content, the TV is a better media player, and always the audio works as well.
  • Simply said, this player is flawed and does not work properly
  • So, I can NOT recommend this player if you plan on using the Amazon Video App

Reviews around feature (4.51 of 5)

  • Finally, another feature I like on ROKU better than on Fire TV is the remote
  • >BEST<< feature is a small upgrade available in the remote that allows use of headphones!
  • We have used the Roku HD, Amazon fire stick, chromecast, the junky "smart tv" features built into our current tv, ps4, ps3, and the Wii U for streaming in the past

Reviews around picture (4.38 of 5)

  • After experiencing the constant buffering and choppy picture with the Roku Express, we upgraded to the Premiere +
  • It is much better picture than streaming through a PS3.
  • I would have bought more because of the better picture signal it
  • I am going straight to my Samsung 4K with a monster HDMI cable and the picture is great.
  • This is my 3rd Roku, as usual works great, easy to use, good picture.

Reviews around quality (4.20 of 5)

  • If you have a weak or poor quality WiFi set up, please consider the "+" model of the Roku Premiere.
  • Good, I was expecting a better image quality, being 4K and all
  • The quality of the picture is great and most of the apps are there
  • But you should know that this is not necessary to get excellent picture quality
  • And the quality of the streaming picture is amazing with our Samsung 4hd 55" tv

Reviews around interface (4.18 of 5)

  • Interface is slick and very fast; setup is relatively easy.
  • Finally it became too annoying to use and I just used the apps on my smart TV (poor selection of apps and slow interface but way less frustrating to use than the ROKU)
  • Now all rooms share one wonderful interface which is light-years ahead of those clunky BluRay streaming interfaces
  • Though, sometimes if I leave the TV and come back to it, the interface gets really strange on the TV
  • Previously, we used our BluRay players for streaming, so each TV had a different (crappy) user interface for each streaming service.

Reviews around tv (4.15 of 5)

  • While the system worked out of the box there were several apps (primarily Sling TV) that did not work which was quite disappointing.
  • While that is a very smart TV, it's limited in the channels we can stream.
  • Our 5-year-old 1080p "smart" TV was struggling just to provide a fuzzy, inconsistent stream from both Netflix and Amazon.
  • My smart TV lost network connection and I couldn't get it to work, so I bought this, and the HD looks great
  • Have to use the TV remote, turn the TV off and on again to make the sound work....weird.

Reviews around matt (1.95 of 5)

  • It wasn't a matter of if it would freeze again but more of a matter of when
  • * Some apps (like Hulu) do not even show progress bars (you have to guess the ones you've seen if you watch out of order);* Remote control has no TV OFF button, so you always need to use your tv remote for that;* Integrated search doesn't really search on every app, and the voice search (for people that have ultra or old gen) is not as good as with Google and Apple.
  • Also, the 4K UHD channels would periodically freeze as though they were buffering
  • Have purchased the 4K yet but works as good as or better than the 3 on 1080p

Reviews around battery (1.73 of 5)

  • Surprised that the headphones being plugged in, not projecting any sound, would deplete the batteries.
  • Using the private listening feature with the regular Roku remote tends to drain the batteries a lot quicker, which is completely understandable, so having that feature available on my smartphone is great, I wish my Roku 3 would allow me to do the same.
  • I would like to upgrade my TV with a 4K Ultra 2080p as soon as I can afford.
  • However, The remote will kill batteries withing 24 hours unless they are removed

Reviews around buffer (1.38 of 5)

  • Fast speed, no buffering, and easy to use interface.
  • This Roku is very fast compared to the older Roku 2.I use a wired connection and suffer only occasional buffering (probably due to internet congestion); the streaming of 4K work well with a gorgeous picture
  • This also meant that the Roku would suffer greatly, causing unreasonable buffering for shows I wanted to watch; sometimes they wouldn't play at all
  • Except for arriving in a brown box instead of a retail box, and having an annoying "B Stock" sticker on the back that was hard to get off, I have no complaints with the refurb unit
  • ABC/NBC/CW stream very well, with very limited interruption or excess buffering.
