Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • In a few seconds Stick was updating and setup easy to use
  • An easy setup, a better remote, no buffering, a much better onscreen interface and access to all of my channels makes this new Roku Stick a winner in my book.
  • Easy Setup, so far so good with both Roku's I purchased.
  • It was easy setup and unlike the lite one it connects to 5k.
  • Purchased this Roku Stick for my Patio TV, since I own other Roku products the setup was easy and painless

Reviews around feature (4.45 of 5)

  • I’m willing to lose that feature to avoid paying Apple’s luxury tax.
  • I love the updated features for volume control and voice activated feature.
  • The good features are that it can turn the TV on and off, and it has a volume control on the side.
  • The extra features to control your TV from the remote are a bonus
  • The 2017 Roku stick performs well and has some nifty new features like the remote that can operate basic functions of the TV as well as voice control

Reviews around product (4.21 of 5)

  • If youalready have a smart TV, this product is likely redundant and unnecessary

  • The 3800r streaming stick / remote has to be the worst product out there
  • Great product and had no problems hooking it up to the TV.

Reviews around channel (4.20 of 5)

  • If the Spectrum app was better or the remote had channel number buttons, it might have rated 5 stars as it would have been even better for my grandma
  • I was surprised to know there are all these channels available for free such as ESPN, and movies
  • It streams Netflix, menus works fast and video generally looks fine, but the unit gets too hot (runs at 86 degrees C IDLE according to the secret menu) and the remote control buttons are harder to push and click very loudly, which is something more subjective but in my case I hate it
  • I was going to like the features and the channels available
  • WE WANT, and not a bunch or unneeded channels just to get our favorites

Reviews around interface (4.14 of 5)

  • I find that the Roku interface and Remote Control are more user-friendly.
  • After I got tired of the slow and messy interface of Fire Stick TV, I tried a Roku stick and found a refreshing UI
  • I have used all the other streaming devices and think the Roku remote and interface are the best of the bunch!
  • An easy setup, a better remote, no buffering, a much better onscreen interface and access to all of my channels makes this new Roku Stick a winner in my book.
  • I soon bought the Amazon 4k Fire TV box afterwards and hate the amazon product due to clunky and slow controls and a horrible interface.

Reviews around thing (4.01 of 5)

  • But I guess all in all, that's the only upsetting thing about it
  • The best thing about the Roku is you can install any streaming app.
  • Only thing i didn't like had nothing to do with the product itself
  • IMHO.The best thing about this new Roku Stick and the primary reason for my purchase: it supports YouTube
  • The other annoying thing is that the remote has to be re-paired ofter

Reviews around app (3.71 of 5)

  • The fire stick doesn't support the Spectrum app, so that was a deal breaker
  • Only problem is on one I am having some issues with Netflix but all other apps work great and even Netflix works on the other one with no issue.
  • The biggest surprise for me is that apps which were very buggy and poor on the Fire stick (VRV, FXNow, TruTV, and a couple others) have had absolutely no problems on the Roku
  • Only problem is on one I am having some issues with Netflix but all other apps work great and even Netflix works on the other one with no issue.
  • I truly believe Amazon intentionally sabotaged the Netflix app on the Fire Stick.

Reviews around review (2.23 of 5)

  • I don't like giving negative reviews, but I feel justified with this product
  • After some time I'll write a review for that device as well.

Reviews around connection (2.20 of 5)

  • The remote loses its connection with the streaming stick multiple times each month
  • and it would play again for a few hours and then lose the connection.
  • When I returned in mid-August, it began losing the Internet connection after a few hours of play.
  • However, this HD Roku Streaming Stick constantly loses its pairing connection with its Roku remote control
  • Wifi is not the most reliable option, plugging a dongle into the rear HDMI port of a TV with a power wire hanging off the end does not make for a very solid mechanical connection

Reviews around issue (1.95 of 5)

  • I've been using it for months and have had no issues - love it and highly highly recommend to anyone who uses a lot of streaming services.
  • I also have to add that I've read other postssaying that it doesn't work well/compatibility issues with Netflix , but so far I don't have any problems with that.
  • Less weird hardware issues, as well (competitor would have weird aliasing with certain apps, video would seem choppy whereas Roku was smoother, competitor product would just lock up requiring a hard reboot).
  • I'm already pissed that i had to order this Stick to replace my Roku 3 which started having weird audio and video issues that rendered everything unwatchable after only 3 years.
  • Having to do a return since it seems like a lot of people have this issue and I don't see it being fixed any time soon

Reviews around company (1.76 of 5)

  • Although YouTube doesn't support it as of now, I like that this Roku remote has voice command
  • Great device...finally got rid of the expensive cable company!!!
  • It is unbelievable a respectable company such as Roku ships their product with an obviously flawed accessory

Reviews around batch (1.49 of 5)

  • I found it easy to set up my pre-existing accounts as well as to find many many other channels to choose from
  • Hoping it was a bad batch & not an issue of quality falling off.
  • But the sticks currently shipping from Amazon seem to have come from a bad batch and
  • Provided me access to Hulu, when my older TV with the Hulu app built in; as well as when I tried to use an older Roku which Hulu would also not work
  • Wonder if there is an issue the current batch of hardware?

Reviews around drop (1.00 of 5)

  • with no hiccupsthe Roku had some dropped connections, failure to update, but even more frustrating - even after completing the 'update' process after the 'install,' very poor connectivity and pixelation of the image - one of the reasons i returned the not-ready-for-prime-time HDHomeRun device, a real beta-hardware and software vaporware mess under OS Xthis device is pretty slick; basically you:1. plug the stick into an HDMI port2
  • Coupled with DirectTV Offer made it hard to pass up since we had dropped Cable about 5 yrs previous.
  • I read the user reviews, with the only persistent complaint being a random dropping of the wifi signal.
  • I also have some sound issues when trying to use headphones, the sound drops out occasionally for no reason and goes back to the tv
  • I purchased an HDMI extension cable (Roku's "free" extender "out of stock") which improved reception but with "low signal" indication and 'freezes' and 'dropped' WiFi connections

Reviews around hulu (1.00 of 5)

  • I've only tried Youtube TV, which I really like, but since they don't support it at this time I'll give Hulu and Sling a try.
  • It can’t even find the network and the one time it miraculously did, I logged in, tried to access Hulu and of course, it lost the signal again
  • Bought this Roku because our smart TV did not support Hulu Live
