RokuExpress 4K | HD/4K/HDR Streaming Media Player, Black

Brought this Device to replace my aging 3rd Gen Chromecast and so far it’s been Great! It’s Good for watching YouTube and Netflix on, was simple to setup, the dynamic background on the homepage is really cool too! Would recommend to others, it’s definitely worth the £29.99 i paid, it super fast an easy to use, it’s got a great variety of apps to stream content on, fun games like Tetris for TV and more!

Our old Roku box was showing its age being slow and no longer getting firmware updates. So, when we upgraded our lounge TV, we also purchased this 4K Roku box.Wow, what a difference - both in terms of speed of response and picture quality! Our main APPs are NowTV, the Roku Channel, PLEX, Discovery+, Pluto, and Prime Video. All work perfectly with no issues. Picture and sound quality are stunning.To be fair, modern smart TVs have many of these APPs inbuilt. However, they often don't include the Roku Channel, Pluto and PLEX. PLEX is particularly important to us as we have a large media database on our home NAS. It also supports a lot of interesting "live" streaming TV channels.Set up is straightforward and it took just a few minutes to get our favourite apps sorted - and the others removed. The WiFi connection is also much faster as dual band wireless is supported on this device (HD Roku boxes only support 2.4GHz WiFi). Getting a power adapter is handy too.The remote is simple to use. It is IR rather than Bluetooth but I have had no issues - as long as the Roku box is in line of sight. Indeed, my only minor gripe is that the supplied HDMI cable is rather short to ensure this line of sight visibility for the remote control. Fortunately, I had a spare 2m HDMI 2.2 cable that works a treat!All in all, at less than £30, I am very impressed with this little device. Indeed, I am about to buy another for our bedroom TV!The whole family is rather chuffed! 😁😁😁

I needed a streaming device for a fairly old Sony Bravia TV when Talk Talk updated the software and I could no longer stream iplayer or Prime. I bought a high end streaming device, and it just couldn't connect to my TV. I sent that back. Technicians at Curry’s told me I would need to replace my TV. After waiting a short while, not really wanting to replace my TV, and not knowing what to do, I read a review of this budget device, ordered it, set it up with incredible ease, and it works brilliantly.

This was a breeze to set up, is very fast and responsive and works well with YouTube, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime BBC iPlayer, Apple TV and Now TV. Probably others but those are the main ones I've used this with. Certainly not at all disappointed overall. Good product at a low price and does what I want it to do.However there are a few niggling issues that I feel could be better. Many of these are nice factors that many won't care about.Remote: Infra red rather than bluetooth. Means that the box has to be visible and can't be hidden out of the way.CEC: Very limited. Will turn the TV on and off. Apparently it will also control the volume with a different remote. I prefer the CEC connection to work the other way. Most devices can be controlled by the TV remote.Setup: For some reason I found it very difficult to get past the setup screen without giving my credit card details. I had to look up how to do this online. Google search revealed how to do this but it didn't seem obvious.Minor issues but they cost this device a star.

These Roku sticks are much better than the Amazon equivalents in my opinion, which I've had to use through work. This is now the 2nd one I own to bring an older pre-Smart TV set up to scratch. The 1st I got when the operating system on my TV stopped becoming compatible with certain streaming alls.Easy to connect, also works with it's mobile app seamlessly, allowing quick search etc. The device remote includes the ability to listen to audio through said device, which is great via high quality headphones for a much more immersive audio experience than any built-in TV speaker set. Also perfect when solo watching and the kiddos are in bedVery good value in comparison to a whole new TV. Very happy to have these.

OMG, Roku is super authentic. Super fast network connection, clear picture and sound. A lot channels to to watch, guess what you can even install an app immediately. Please go for this will recommend 100% 😊.

Roku Express is the type of device that you install forget about but when you remember - it is well worth it.Let's be honest there are a lot of junk channels, quirky channels and some excellent "must-see" channels. Which are which? Well, my junk may be your essential and vice versa but there is so much - on-demand, premium subscription, sports, religious, entertainment... basically, you name it, it is probably somewhere on Roku.This is my third Roku device: original set-top; USB and now this HDMI 4K version and I have watched it move from ok to excellent. The selling-point on this one is that it is 4K - and great 4K at that. It will check your equipment and stream at the highest quality manageable so that means get a good quality HDMI cable that can handle a 4K stream. It is a bit quirky, it may display a menu at 720p but goes to 1080p when you start streaming. On the right channel a black screen flashes and suddenly it is broadcasting in 4K with 5.1 surround sound and you are in your own cinema.The Roku menu is fairly intuitive and customisable. It is worth spending some time looking through the channels and putting them on your home screen, reorganising the order to suit your preferences and, off you go. The menu is a little bit clunky but, honestly, who cares? It's all about the content, baby.It is currently discounted and so the price is good. It comes with all cables and a cute little remote that can be lost down the sofa in an instant.If you are thinking about buying a streaming device stop thinking and click 'buy now' - definitely worth it.
