This is my favorite non-LG TV streaming Device
I’ve had experience with a number of devices, and this one is my favorite.My priorities:Fast streaming/minimal lagEasy to navigateAccess to shows of interestAbility to preview as i fast forward or rewindApple TV:ExpensiveCan’t preview or issues with some of the apps that was frustrating. it wanted to rewind or fast foward instead of clicking to the screen section you wanted with a preview. This really killed the device for me.Easy to overshoot if you used the finger swipe option to quickly move fast-forward or rewind.User interface, for the most part is decent and fast except for how navigates while playing.Fire TVBuilt to sell products instead of show shows, laggy, and for whatever reason I hated interacting with this device. Not being able to easily access the content I wanted due to poor organization really rubbed me the wrong way.Pro – ability to bootleg shows, but not something I’m into and I only checked this out during the first weeks of covid.I want to emphasize the lag issues. This is built as cheap as possible to minimally meet requirements to function and it shows.RokuSo, now that I have the other devices out of the way, and ignore my LG streaming which is my favorite, I’ll speak to this device and why it has my vote.This device is surprisingly fast. I didn’t expect a device that was almost as responsive as my apple TV and LG TV. This is slightly slower but barely and no lag which is the most critical thing for me.We got this for the British Bake-off access which led to an unexpected cool thing. The discovery of the free shows, if you don’t absolutely hate commercials. For the complete British Bake-off experience, we mute the commercials. So, the additional channels that Roku provides has made it continue to be useful.Roku allows a preview of channels as I fast forward through it.Roku does have an issues with some apps where I need to log out and go back in so the remote works correctly. I’m not sure if that’s a bad app issue or the device but a quick back and in fixes. The apple device has never crashed or become buggy on me. The Firestick has, but it’s cheap.The price is significantly cheaper than apple making the Roku a no brainer.Unlike the apple TV, which requires counter space, this plugs into the back of the TV and is hidden away.Now, an issue I had when I first turned on is that my remote was not communicating with the device. I was extremely annoyed as this was an early Christmas present for my wife, and I wanted it to function within a certain time window so a return and replace would have ruined it. The device showed the remotes power but didn’t communicate. After resetting the device, the remote works fine now. If you run into an issue, try resetting the device.4k streaming? It’s okay. I didn’t do a side by side. It has 4k.Navigation? It’s simple enough but could be made better. I thought the last version of the Fire TV was worse. The apple TV does shine in this area on most apps I played with. My biggest gripe with navigation in Roku is that marking something as favorite and then LOCATING the favorites from Roku’s channels and free shows, was not intuitive. I did eventually find my favorites, but that was frustrating. Additionally, the channel/app/inventory searching involves clicking to the right instead of down.So, speed is slightly less than Apple, but barely. Navigation is slightly less easy based on the layout vs apple, and i think it’s better than the Fire the last time I used that thing. The Roku has a nice access to misc. free channels. Its price is a quarter of Apple. The fire TV? I don’t consider these two in the same league.So, if you’re picking up a streaming device, I’d recommend the Roku over the other devices (except the LG TV native streaming app which is the best I’ve used). Performance and price are good. The only reason to avoid is if it doesn’t have access to what you want to watch. For me, it filled in the gaps and provided baking shows that we otherwise didn’t have access to.

A great streamer
So Iâve been using Roku devices since their very first one, and one of the main uses these days is to stream my own media on Plex. Iâve been pretty slavish about using the devices from Roku that supported wired ethernet instead of relying on WiFi because I donât want to deal with buffering or lag, and just didnât have confidence in WiFi (despite having WiFi-6). Other streaming devices (which shall remain nameless) with WiFi-only connection have disappointed me.My previous Roku died over the holidays and so I took a chance (and a gift card) to try out this Roku 4k stick. Iâm glad I did.First off, I neednât have worried about the WiFi not being up to streaming 4k video from my server. It handles it just fine. Itâs a good experience as long as you have a newer router that supports WiFi-6.Second, setup was amazingly easy. Theyâve streamlined the whole process, and any apps you were already using on another Roku device are instantly logged in and ready to go. New big-name apps are almost as easy, just requiring a QR code scan and a quick login to the app on your phone.My biggest complaint is that something about this Roku really pumps up the saturation in some of my own home-edited videos. I canât figure out which setting is making that a thing, but itâs clearly something to do with the way my video editing app saves the video. Roku just isnât playing nice with it, but thatâs not on Roku; thatâs in the editor. Everything else, however, looks incredibly good.The interface is snappy, and honestly I was shocked that this stick is faster to load and navigate than my previous Roku Ultra LT.I can think of only one negative point to the stick, and that is that it only works with the special remote it comes with, which I believe is a sort of WiFi direct connection. It wonât support an IR remote nor a Bluetooth one, rendering my universal remote useless for the Roku streaming stick 4k. It also wonât work with most of the stack of previous model Roku remotes I own. And of course, as with every Roku remote, the four quick-launch buttons are a pain in the neck. I only subscribe to one of the services in them, and will likely never subscribe to the others, which means accidentally pressing them is a bit of an obnoxious experience. I understand theyâre sponsored and Roku makes money putting them on their remotes and making them permanent, but they could â¢at least⢠add two more buttons in there that are fully programmable to access the favorites we actually do subscribe to.The voice search function is handy, but sometimes the screen will prompt you to use the voice search when the normal manual actions are easier and more direct. I donât really need to press the voice button and say âlaunch YouTubeâ when I can just press the OK button on the first app in my list (YouTube) and it launches. However, for searching for a specific movie or show, itâs a great feature. Itâs also nice for people who hate typing on screen using directional buttons, as you can speak letter-by-letter to enter email addresses and passwords if need be.Bottom line: Iâm impressed. Except for a few minor caveats, itâs a great streaming device that is responsive, intuitive, and provides fantastic video and audio quality, even up to Dolby Atmos in a 4k stream.Five stars.

Works well
Connectivity is great and everything works well. Had a hard time getting it set up, but most of that was user error. Itâs extremely easy to use and has a nice, clear image.

Canât live without it!!!
If you donât have a Roku device you arenât doing it right!! I have a Roku device or a Roku TV on every one of my televisions. It blows my mind just how easy it is to set up these devices on my TV. It practically does it all by itself, you pretty much just have to plug it into your TV and push a button on the remote once or twice and itâs ready to go. And you canât beat the price!!!

Great Once I Got Free HDMI Extender Cable from Roku!
The stick didnât quite fit into my Vizio TVâs HDMI port due to TVâs design. I tried to ârigâ it by putting it in slightly at an angle. Huge mistake on my part!!! The setup was a nightmare because the stick wasnât properly connected. I then saw on the Roku package box that you can order a FREE HDMI extender cable through Roku. They give you a link (on the box). You MUST provide the serial number off the back of the stick itself. After submitting, I received it in 3 days. Once I used the cable, the stick worked perfectly! Setup was a breeze! My advice is to order the extender FIRST (if needed) THEN try the setup. It will save you a lot of frustration! I took off one star because 1. Had it been included in the box, it would have been SO much easier and one less truck delivery (carbon footprint). 2. The price dropped from 48.99 to 39.99 just after I ordered and Amazon does not due price adjustments. I could return and reorder at the sale price⦠but thatâs a waste of time, energy, and would increase fossil fuels. Overall, happy now that itâs working!

MUY PRÃCTICO, FÃCIL Y RÃPIDO DE INSTALAR, AHORA YA SIRVE MI SMART TV LG QUE HABÃA DEJADO DE CONECTARSE AL WIFI, EXCELENTE COMPRA. ES EL SEGUNDO QUE COMPRO

The Roku only works in US, Canada, UK, Ireland etc – not in India.So in India, very limited functionality exists – cannot download most channels including Amazon Prime Video or Disney Plus.The search function doesnât work in India.Overall itâs barely functioning.Do not buy – anything else would work better in India.â-Edit:I had already given this one star, so canât lower the rating furtherâ¦Yesterday, we had an internet outage (Airtel broadband in my area is awful).What was surprising was that after the internet came back and we tried to use the Roku, it had logged itself out from the WiFi – had to log into the WiFi again.And then upon opening Netflix, that was also logged outâ¦Crazy – it seems the device resets its settings on Internet errors.I can only imagine how painful it would be to keep logging in again and again every time the internet diesâ¦Oh, and you canât return the thing.

I ordered this for my mom, and she loves it. She uses it for Prime, and amazon music, and no problems so far. I highly recommend.
