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

My cable service used to provide the Dish channel lineup for TVs that had the Dish box. They also provided a subset of local and select cable channels for the TVs without a Dish box. They discontinued the Dish service and the content for non-Dish TVs. Every TV had to have an Android TV streaming box. Adding additional Android TV boxes for the previously non-Dish TVs was cost prohibitive. I have Roku on two other TVs, I decided to go with Roku for all the TVs in the house (including the TVs with Android TV boxes). Both services (Roku and Android TV) can play SiriusXM. I find the quality of music from the Roku device to be far superior to the Android TV boxes. The installation was simple and the streaming was flawless, both for video and audio.

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.

We had the Roku Express (bought at Walmart) and weren't very pleased with it. Every time it would update, it would turn itself on while we were watching regular channels...yes, we have cable, too. The volueme didn't work as we have a sound bar hooked up to the tv as well. Setting up the new Roku Streaming Stick was SUPER easy as all we did was plug it in to the tv and ran thru the set up prosedures with ease. It found our sound bar and the volume worked. The downloads were super fast and the vdieo quality was second to none as the picture was sharper, super crisp, and wonderful on the eyes. No problems like we had when we were using the Express. Definately 5 stars!!!

I have had Roku for many years and been very happy with it. Subscribing to channels has been remarkably easy and even those that I had subscribed to via the channel's website were easily set up in Roku. I like the convenience of being able to configure the display to show only the channels I want. The remote works very well and integrates with my Samsung TV with no issues. So when my older box could no longer update, I decided to try the stick instead. I've been very pleased that I did. Installation and configuration were incredibly easy. It worked immediately, right out of the box, and I was able to connect my account with no problems whatsoever. What a delight to find a plug and play device that actually does plug in and play! I wish all my electronic set up experiences were this easy! Highly recommend.

It does what it’s supposed to do and does it pretty well. Setup is quick and streaming quality is solid. 4K content looks sharp and HDR works as expected. The interface is simple and easy to navigate, and once it’s up and running, it’s reliable for everyday streaming. I mostly use this stick when I travel because it’s compact and easy to carry. That’s a big plus. However, it’s not really a single piece. You still need to bring the stick plus the separate USB cable, which makes it slightly less convenient than it looks at first glance. I also don’t like that it requires the included USB cable since the WiFi module is built into it. You can’t just grab any random USB cable, which is a bit annoying when packing light. Performance is generally good, though it can feel a little sluggish when switching apps or navigating menus. Since it’s WiFi only, the experience really depends on having a decent connection. Overall, it’s a very good streaming stick, especially for travel and secondary TVs. A few design and performance quirks keep it from being perfect, but it still does the job well enough to earn four stars.

Cool product and quite a value. So easy to connect and get going, with simple to follow directions. Lots of channel options free of charge and some interesting movies.
