Affordable and Easy Streaming with Roku Express
The Roku Express is a fantastic, budget-friendly streaming device that provides access to all my favorite shows and movies in HD quality. Setting it up was a breeze, and the device quickly connected to my Wi-Fi. The standard remote is simple to use, and although it doesn’t have TV controls, it still gives me easy access to streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and more. I love that it supports both free and live TV, making it a versatile option for entertainment. The picture quality is crisp, and the device runs smoothly with minimal buffering. It’s compact, so it doesn’t take up much space, which is great for my entertainment setup. Overall, the Roku Express is a solid choice for anyone looking for an affordable and reliable streaming device.

Quick to install, Works great.
Fast and easy. Had an old Samgung TV that would not download the apps that I commonly use like YouTube. This device took about 5 minutes to set up was all set up with all the apps I use on my other TV and devices. All you need is a good internet connection and you’re good to go, no monthly fees or anything to worry about.One thing to note is that the remote that comes with the device only controls the ROKU functions, not your TV functions like power on/off or volume. So if you have the original remote for the TV, you have to switch between the two remotes depending on what you’re wanting to do. Although, I’m sure that there are universal remotes out there that could be programmed to work for the TV and the ROKU unit, I just haven’t investigated that far yet. This one gets and A+ from me. $20 turned a nice TV that was otherwise useless to me into a nice functional bedroom TV!

Works Great, but get a USB splitter also if you want to turn it off.
The device is kind of fiddly, but once you get your Wi-Fi and your streaming service credentials input, it updates itself and is very user friendly. The device setup has a lot of nice features like content casting from your phone and automating your TV power and source functions, and custom themes.If you want a wired connection, you can buy a USB Ethernet Adapter for Roku Express. Make sure it has the right style mini USB male input to match your Roku’s mini USB female input (A or C).The only thing that puzzled me is that it does not turn off. Where the power button normally is on the Remote, you have a “back arrow” that takes you back to the last menu in most of the apps and the Roku menus.According to the instructions, you can unplug it to turn it off.Or, you can plug the Roku USB cable into your TV’s USB, then it will turn on/off with the TV.You can buy a USB splitter if you are already using the USB (for media in my case).I don’t want the Roku drawing power, however little it uses, when I’m not watching it.Once you power on the TV, select the source button HDMI you set the Roku to, and your streaming services are a button push away. There are even 4 buttons on the remote for Netflix, Max, Paramount and AppleTV.The Roku OS and the Apps work smoothly.I have managed to upset one of the Apps. It froze while I was endlessly perusing titles. All of the buttons were inactive, but I kept pushing the Return Arrow on the upper left and it finally closed the app and went home. On another streaming device, I had to unplug it. There are YouTube guides for a stuck Roku.There is a reset button on the rear, BUT I Only Use It When You Want to Clear Settings. Unplug It First.The instructions state:”Certain Roku models come with a physical reset button on the back or bottom of the device. This button is either a tactile button or a pinhole button. You can reset these devices to factory settings by pressing and holding this button until you see a flashing light”.There are of course FREE shows and movies. And there are links to Premium Streaming Services have many Free Trials and Free Episodes you can access. So, you get instant gratification with just your Roku Express and an internet connection.The device setup Seems to Require a Credit Card during your online (PC Browser) account population. But, it is not needed (scroll to the bottom) if you already have your Credit Card Payment info setup with your Bank to pay your streaming fees.Of course you can put your card in to buy screen savers and other stuff if you want. But, if it is there, it is easy for anyone watching your TV to spend your loot.The Roku comes with a 3 Foot HDMI cable. One of my two Roku Express had 2 USB cables,. It had a Mini USB and a Mini USB C. The other device just had the correct USB cable that fit it’s device.There is a sticky strip to attach the small Roku to your TV. I put mine close the TV remote sensor (left side of my TV) so I am in the habit of pointing my remote at the right spot.Prior this purchase, I was using my BluRay player to stream 2 of my services and I used my HTPC Chrome browser to access the other 2 services.So this Roku device is a time saving, energy saving WIN!

Great product – works with older TVs
I canceled the cable TV last summer and one by one all of the apps that I watch on my computers have stopped working unless you have Windows 10 and all of mine were running on Windows 7 and could not be upgraded. And my barely ever used Kindle died all of a sudden one month out of the warranty period. My Samsung Smart TV I found out was a 2012 model and after spending hours on the phone with technicians from Hulu the cable company, the Samsung technician told me that they are no longer supporting the Wi-Fi in my TV and that I would need to attach an external internet source like Nintendo Prime cable or Roku to watch content ( nothing could be connected through the TV any longer without the Wi-Fi being supported). I guess my Amazon was listening because it popped up with Roku Express that was on sale for $17.99. I had no idea that there was not a monthly subscription charge for Roku or that a Roku box could be purchased so cheaply! But also I had no idea if it was really going to work because various sources on the internet said it may not work Samsung Smart TV because of its age and not having the most up-to-date software etc. also my Samsung was not on the extensive list of compatible TVs.Lo and behold, it arrives in less than 48 hours from the purchase date and hooks up just as easily as they said it would! The only snag was when it would not connect to the internet and even though I was afraid I would never get it working- I followed the recommended troubleshooting steps and I was connected in less than 5 minutes! I have logged into several of my streaming apps and am happily catching up on all the shows I missed! This is a quality product that is easy to use and ata very affordable price! I’m very happy with my Roku Express purchase!

I just wanted to share my appreciation for Roku TV. One of the things I love the most is how user-friendly it is. The interface is simple and intuitive, making it easy to navigate through apps and streaming services without any hassle. Setting it up was a breeze, and everything runs smoothly.I also appreciate how seamless the overall experience is—from the remote control to the menu layout, everything feels well-designed and convenient. Roku TV makes streaming effortless, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smart TV that’s easy to use.

It works well except it doesn’t support Prime in Singapore. Imagine Prime selling a product that doesn’t support Prime nor Disney +. Returning this since we watch only Netflix, Prime and Disney +. It does come with some free channels such as horror and food though. However, you need to watch these extra channels with ads.
