Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • Viewing quality is good, setup was a breeze, and the tiny box is hardly visible
  • I does exactly what it was supposed, easy setup and easy to use remote.
  • The setup was pretty easy, and even with so far as to recognize my TV and set the quality
  • Got what I paid for, performs well, easy setup, user adjustable video quality output.
  • The video quality is noticeably better than our previous setup (using smart TV apps), and the remote "just worked" out of the box for good measure

Reviews around stream (4.49 of 5)

  • Cut the expensive cable cord and stream.

Reviews around feature (4.35 of 5)

  • so I don’t care that this feature is a fail.
  • Haven't tested the programmable buttons yet, and the four "convenience" (paid promotion) buttons are still Roku's stupidest "feature
  • but I am honestly jaw dropped it lacks such a basic feature
  • Voice feature on remote works well. Seems to produce better picture quality.
  • If you buy the Roku box from Amazon it will be missing important features, like the search feature.

Reviews around device (3.88 of 5)

  • Compared to several other devices I have found Roku to consistently be the best streaming device for me and family
  • I would not recommend purchasing this device since it does not do any more than apps loaded on your tv and anything that is new you have to purchase.
  • All in all, this is a great streaming device to get for the money
  • I replaced all the wiring and switched tv's; the issue followed the Roku device
  • In spite of purchasing a good router and mesh device, we were still buffering.

Reviews around app (3.80 of 5)

  • Had I known that Roku would restrict the apps that you can add over demands from the app makers for money, I would never have bought this
  • The native apps on the TV are all horrible when trying to watch 4K
  • The Firestick 4K had bugs authorizing half its apps and Disney+ never worked at all.
  • With the Roku, you lay out your apps the way you want, and that’s the way they’ll be every time
  • The app would solve the search and watchlist issues, but Roku doesn't allow it -- even though it is available on Fire, Apple, and Android

Reviews around screen (1.80 of 5)

  • We replaced a several year old Roku and were immediately impressed with the resolution; it made our old cheap flat screen TV look like a brand new set, wow.
  • If you do plan on purchasing this product and you have more than a small handful of channels installed then order an SD Card at the same time and install the SD Card during the initial Roku device setup--otherwise you will be seeing a lot of that nag screen
  • Good screen casting
  • I never received a nag screen about purchasing memory on any of the more than half dozen Roku devices I previously owned and there was no warning that deleted channels or apps might not be
  • just as with the previous two, the screen flickers on and off. never again roku.
