Roku Premiere - HD and 4K UHD Streaming Media Player with HDR

This is my 3rd over all roku.I was one of the first adopters of the original roku, and I long since thought, why bother updating the old little box if it is still working. So for 7 years after we cut the cable cord we let the one little box be our main form of entertainment. And it was amazing, and we were happy.After moving to a new house I though perhaps it was time to update and get a roku3 as it had recently had a price drop. I will admit right here and now that I was again impressed and felt my money had been well spent. In our new house, with a new TV we have been watching clearer shows,

I had a Roku 2, 2015 model, which filled all our needs except the remote didn't work well unless it had a perfectly direct line of sight to the unit.But we got a Samsung 4K HDR TV recently, so when Roku introduced these latest models, we were tempted. When Amazon put them on sale, we gave in and got a Premiere+.We are very happy with the purchase.Most importantly, the picture quality including 4K programs is excellent - and this is with wifi streaming to the Roku box, because we currently can't have it located near our router for a direct ethernet connection. We are hoping to move our incoming

Reason for Purchase – We have been using cable to watch TV and movies for 40+ years. We were attempting to cut our cable services to only Internet and needed to replace our access to TV and movies. Many people have already switched, many never had cable. Streaming services appear to be more mature now so I made the plunge. I researched many of the various streaming devices but settled on Roku. I purchased a Roku Premiere+ (for Ethernet input) and 2 Streaming Sticks.Length of use – 1 monthSetup – Extremely easy. The Premier+ plugged it into the HDMI of my AVR and plugged the power into a separa

Last update 4-5-2017: After going back and forth between Roku and Rovio aka Angry Birds on my issue , (I was told to contact Rovio as Roku could not do anything) I received this sad email from Rovio:Apr 5, 18:04 EESTHello there,thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, we have ended the distribution of our games on Roku platform on the 31st of August 2014. As a result, our games are no longer available on Roku. We hope you get a chance to play the games on another platform.As long as you have those games installed, they will remain available for you to play, but they can no longer be pu

It's great! Time will tell and I may update. For now, just wanted to post that I use the android Roku app on my android and have zero remote issues. Even better, the ear buds work great on the phone and won't have the AA battery drain that has been reported when using the Roku remote. I also use a Harmony remote which works great with the Roku. I am trying out sling tv with their free promo. I like it. Nice to have History channel again since we cut the cord several years ago.The Roku was easy to set up. Set up your online account first, makes things much easier. The device responds FAST, nigh

I love, love LOVE this thing! After Comcast jacked my rates up AGAIN I decided to look into other options to cut the cable. I already had a smart TV capable of doing much of what this does and already had an Amazon Prime and Netflix accounts. But my Samsung TV interface is slow and clunky. Using the Roku interface is super fast, smooth, easy and highly intuitive, everything works the way you would expect it to. In addition, my Samsung TV doesn't seem to be compatible with all internet streaming TV options I might want to explore, like Playstation Vue. Also, picture quality is amazing, with mos

We bought the Roku because our Samsung "smart" TV turned out to be a bit less smart that we thought it was going to be, with it having repeated instances of unexplained logging out from our NETFLIX account. (Typing in login info every day using the remote control is a painful process) The Roku involves the same painful typing process but once logged in, it stays logged in.The picture quality is excellent and the ease of setting up features such as CC is also excellent.There is a wide variety of other channels, both video and audio, which can be set up and Roku's own video selections are quite

I have two Roku 2 devices and two Roku Premier+ devices. Both of the Roku 2 devices work perfectly. The user menus are the same and the functionality, once set up, is the same across both models. Performance-wise, both of the Premier+ devices are a little quicker than the Roku 2 devices with regards to menu response and time to get into an app and begin streaming a video. The Premier+ seems to provide a better streaming picture as well.At the same time, both Premier+ devices seem to have the same software bug - instead of going to the screensaver after being on the home screen for an extended
