Exceptional except for lack of channels.
4 Stars
Exceptional except for lack of channels.
This is so tiny and light and takes up hardly no space at all.I recommend connecting this via an HDMI cable for clearer picture and also to keep the wires from getting tangled in the back of the TV. You can use an HDMI instead of the included connection cables. I was able to get mine for $3.My main concern was whether I would have buffering issues or connection issues with my wireless. I had attempted to use Netflix via my Nintendo Wii but the interface was so clunky and I had so many buffereing/connection issues that I decided to try Roku.Roku is perfect with Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant videos. Not once have I had a video lose connection or have buffering problems.The router does not have to be right next to the player. My Roku is about 30 feet from my router and it works perfectly.The range on the remote is exceptional. It worked from about 20-30 feet away and I'm sure it would go further. I love how simple and basic the remote is. I love the little strap on the remote, as well, because it keeps it from getting lost.The lack of content is disappointing. There are a handful of free video channels that are older black and white or silent movies and television, some live news channels, radio channels, etc. There are also a couple of free movie channels, like Crackle, that offer free current movies with ads.I'm especially surprised at the lack of even paid channels. I figured that all of the major networks would have paid content available but that's not the case.In order to optimize your channel list, I would research private channels but, even then, there isn't much to add.My favorite channel so far is Pandora radio. There are fewer ads via Roku than if you listen to it on your phone or computer. You can add radio channels online and then it will update on your Roku. I especially like the Pandora screensaver that pops up with the album cover of whatever you're listening to.If you are addicted to TV and watch it on a regular basis, you probably wouldn't be happy with Roku. But if you are someone like me who hardly watches TV and only uses it for background noise or watching movies with friends or on dates, this will save you some money.FYI for those who are uncomfortable adding their credit card to their Roku account: after you add your CC to start a Roku account and get everything set up, you can then take your CC off of the account. You would just have to add it again if you want to buy anything but I plan on only having the free channels so it's no problem for me.Finally, Roku is the best video streaming device available. It does what it does almost perfectly. The remote and hardware are excellent. But if they want to compete with cable, they are going to have to add more content and channels, both paid and free.
