Streaming Stick 4K - HDR & Dolby Vision Roku Streaming Device for TV with Voice Remote & Long-Range Wi-Fi - Free & Live TV

For the past 18 months, after I left cable, I've been using an Amazon Fire Stick. First I had the HD version and then I upgraded to the Max. The HD was great for a long time until Hulu started acting up. Nothing I did could fix it. I thought the Max would fix it, but instead, the remote couldn't communicate well with the TV. One click would send my selection way past what I wanted, and clicking back just sent it back to the beginning. So I made a decision .... I'd had enough of Amazon and I was going to Roku. I couldn't be happier. The interface is much simpler and my husband, who is not comfortable with tech of any kind, is finding it so much easier to use. And there are NO glitches or bugs. The remote is very responsive, and everything is just so easy to figure out. Very happy.

Was having buffering issues with my smart TVs. Thought it was my internet plan, but my PC and phone were working fine. After doing some research, found out that the streaming capabilities on most smart tvs are terrible and to try a roku. It worked beautifully and was incredibly simple to set up. The microphone feature saves me time so I dont have to type out every letter, and creating the account barely took over 10mins. Will probably buy another for the smart tv in my living room. Remote is simple and easy to use and it also has all the apps I watch my shows and videos on: CrunchyRoll, Youtube, Netflix, ect... Highly recc

I replaced our old Roku Express with this new streaming stick that was bundled with a battery-operated voice remote. We had the rechargeable voice remote that was not working properly so decided it was time to replace. We had recently purchased a new smart tv (Vizio) with a sound bar and also felt the old Roku express (many years old) wasn't meshing well with the tv's new technology for audio and video. When I saw the bundle, I decided to give it a try and most reviews were very positive. The setup was so simple, and I love the design of minimal wires...is basically a "plug and play". Everything was set up within 5 minutes. The picture quality appears to be much clearer and the sound...sound bar works and sounds as promised. I was beginning to think that perhaps our new sound bar was defective as half the time it didn't have the crisp and clear sound we expected. The battery life for the remote using replaceable AA battery is much better than the rechargeable remote (kept losing its charge and not all buttons would work...remote is only about 6 months old). This streaming stick was a great investment, and we are once again thrilled to be able to enjoy our new setup. I highly recommend. I will eventually be phasing out our old Roku Express with the Streaming Stick 4K setup. Roku is a wonderful and affordable way to stream...dropping the old cable box method.

The best streaming stick, bar none. Setup is a breeze, the remote control is easy and extremely durable. Has amazing sound and so many options, but most importantly it's super easy to use. I got this for my elderly mother, and it makes things so much simpler and less impulse purchases, or accidental subscriptions are available versus a fire stick. Love love love this bad boy!!!

All the functions were successful in the installation except for the ability to turn the TV on and off. This had worked in a previous installation. I don't know why it is not working now. Fortunately I have the TV remote to facilitate this.

Install wasn't difficult. At first it seemed like it wasn't working. I had to adjust the input switch on the TV. But install went smoothly enough. Video and sound quality it good. It's crazy that just having internet and TV programs can cost $200. I was using a base TV programming. It had the channels I wanted and having Prime Video was good enough for me. I don't spend a lot of time watching TV programs. Maybe a movie once in a while. What irritates me is the the TV fee they charge. It's there just to help pad the profits of other companies. The location of the Roku streaming device is in bad location and I was worried about whether I would have a good enough of a signal for it to run. I the speed of the WIFI is more than adequate.

The streaming stick can allow you to watch any shows, movies, or video services that are accessible on the Internet when connected to a display or TV. It requires a WiFi to access the Internet. It also allows you to cast via WiFi or Bluetooth from your devices to the display. This can covert a spare display into an Internet based TV. It is cable-free with a remote control for a user interface. Setup is easy & done by the stick. All you need is your WiFi password. It has comprehensive functions. The video and sound quality are excellent. It responds nicely to the remote. It requires only the included 5 volt power supply or a USB connection on the TV or display if it can supply sufficient current. (Design specifications: USB 2.0 = 0.5 amp = 500 mA ; USB 3.0 = 0.75 amp = 750 mA. Individual devices/TV's may supply more current than the design specifications) The Roku stick allows access to both free and subscription services.

I love this Roku Stick!! I wish I would have bought this years ago. I look forward to using it everyday! I have, been using my laptop connected to my TV via an HDMI cable...to watch movies, TV shows, etc. But, that was putting unnecessary wear & tear on my laptop...just to watch streaming video. This will extend the life of my laptop, as I now have Roku!! Don't worry if you don't have enough HDMI inputs on your TV....you can buy an HDMI splitter/A-B switch on Amazon for around $12. I had to do that, & it works great. My TV only has 2 HDMI inputs. Picture & Audio quality are excellent...& seem to better than when I was using my laptop. I downloaded the Roku App to my Android phone....& it's great! The main advantage for me, is I can plug my WIRED headphones into my phone & listen to movies, music, etc...that way, & it sounds excellent. The interface looks like the Roku remote control. I can also plug my phone into my Bluetooth speaker (aux IN)...& listen to content that way too. The remote control on the Roku App on my phone, works very well. So happy with this purchase!! You also get tons of free movies, TV shows, etc...included for free; the Roku channel is great. You can subscribe to many different apps as well. I subscribed to "Howdy"...for only $2.99 a month, & you get great movies...without any commercials at all. Not bad at all. The only cons are: it will occasionally stop in the middle of a TV Show, if you haven't shown any "activity" in awhile. I think this is only happening on Peacock, so I'll look into that further. The other con, is the tag they have on the remote control. I have no idea why they have a tag...I've never seen a remote control with a tag on it before now. It's not real bad, but the tag does make contact with your hand occasionally. Hopefully they will stop using a tag. They're are other ways of "branding" a product...like a simple logo, etc. Other than these 2 cons...I highly recommend buying this.
