Roku Express | Easy High Definition (HD) Streaming Media Player (2018)

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THING!!! I had purchased a streaming media box (also from Amazon) last spring when we decided to unplug from cable. But it gave us no end of troubles. First, it came with an old version of Kody, which did us no good. Second, it would constantly spool (that irritating circle in the middle of the screen while it's trying to download info) at the WORST times and we'd miss something important. And third, the remote was simply terrible, needing multiple clicks to get it to register, simply going crazy and doing what it wanted... finally, we decided enough was enough.A good frien

Fantastic product so far! After the first week, we bought a second one for a family member.First thing: Before you buy, understand what content is free and what is not. Second, in case it's not obvious, the Roku operates over your wifi and internet connection. You have to have an internet connection that is fast enough to stream video. If you can't stream video on your mobile (via wifi) or PC, you won't be able to stream it on the Roku either.Subscription content: Anything that you have to pay for elsewhere (like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, network TV streaming, etc), you'll still have to have thos

Are you tired of messing with fussy cords or not being able to use your computer while you Netflix and Chill? Are you looking for a way to cut back on your cable bill? Do you want to be able to watch all of your favorite shows and movies in one place? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Roku Express is the product for you!On the basis of simplicity, cost, and variety of streaming options, the Roku Express is one of the best streaming devices on the market. It is very user-friendly and easy to set up. Setting up the Roku takes less than 5 minutes. To set it up, you only need an i

I'm new to the streaming TV scene and haven't quite made up my mind about it, but it seems to be "so far, so good." At present, I'm looking for some way to cut my ties with AT&T cable services. Tired of being charged for so many channels that I never watch and having to contact them each year to try to get some kind of "deal," I decided to give Roku a try. For the most part, I'm pretty satisfied with it. The picture quality is decent, although it doesn't seem quite as sharp as the image through AT&T. I find it to be a re-training experience: I can't just punch in the channel numbers on my remo

I understand Amazon does not make this product, they just sell it, so I can’t say the stars are 100% accurate.We were paying $230 for cable, internet, and a useless home phone because that was the “bundle” through Comcast. We got a ton of useless channels but it was easy to use. The OnDemand was excellent for free movies, kids shows, and searching for shows. Comcast just added Prime to their channel list and it was great. However, that price!Everyone said make the switch to a device. I did a ton of research between Roku, FireStick, Chromecast, etc. I found the Roku the most suitable for us in

The Roku Express is a great product for customers that are looking for high definition entertainment, easy to set up, and it is used for televisions that are not smarts. This brand is very popular, because it has a lot of programs in just one device, making it so easy for the customer to purchase a product that has everything related to entertainment in order to satisfy people's needs.If you are looking for a device that has great quality and multiple types of entertainment in a quick installation process, then the Roku Express is the best option for you. You do not have to spend a lot of mone

I was looking for the easiest way to get streaming apps on a TV in the kitchen, and the Roku Express fit the bill. It comes with a two-prong USB wall power adapter, but most modern TVs, including mine, have a USB port that can power the Roku directly from the TV. There's even an included velcro tie to keep any excess length in the power cable tidy. The included HDMI cable was long enough to reach but not so long that routing it out of sight was difficult. The included adhesive strip was a nice touch, making mounting it to the underside of the TV quick and easy.The biggest drawback compared to

Our cable bill was escalating almost every month so I looked into these sticks. We tested it on 2 TV's and love it! We still need cable to provide us with Internet and our local broadcasts (including Phillies baseball, which is proprietary to Comcast). This will save us over a $100 each month on our bill!!!Pros:Very easy to set up and figure out. Add the Xfinity app, log in, and you can see the typical Comcast interface. Easy to access other streaming 'channels' such as Netflix, Hulu, Sling, YouTube, etc. You can also add MLB/NFL/NHL channels and major news channels. As long as your internet i
