The Roku Premiere Quick Start Guide is useful to get you started with the product, but then you are left in the lurch, since the remote fails to connect. You can download an app called “Rokie” on your android phone, but you are not much further ahead, because there is no useful manual which lets you know what to do next. You get lots of icons for services, but no instruction how to access them. Don’t waste time looking for volume controls. They do not exist.

This unit is easy to install and get up and running. Unfortunately I did not research it well enough to know that it is not running Android but their own Roku OS. So no free streaming apps are available for this box. The native apps and channels are subscription based and the free ones are total garbage. This box offers nothing that a smart tv already has built in. Not recommended. I am returning and buying an Amazon Fire Stick.

Llego antes de lo esperado, es demasiado rápido y funciona perfectamente en México, el dispositivo trae una interfaz amigable rápida y fácil de usar, el paquete incluye ROKU, cargador y cable, Cable HDMI, control remoto, pilas y sticker.
La version del gadget es estados unidos pero se puede configurar al español y se adapta a la región, por eso es ampliamente recomendado su salida de video es 4K. (Los botones del control traen configuración de USA: HULU, NOW, SLING no abren nada debido a que no están disponibles mexico)
IMPORTANTE: no desconectar de la energía eléctrica cuando están configurando al ROKU por primera vez, porque se congela ROKU y se tiene que resetear.
En la tienda de canales puedes agregar canales gratuitos y controlarlo desde la app ROKU para IOS . ANDROID. El roku no trae control de volumen pero eso se hace desde el control de la TV.

J’ai accès à une très grande variété de sites de streaming qui sont gratuits et c’est exactement ce que je voulais. Les principaux sites payants sont bien souvent accessibles par d’autres moyens (appareils) et ce n’est pas pour cette raison que j’ai acheté cet appareil. Bien entendu, il y a certains sites gratuits ou non que ne sont pas accessibles mais c’est quand même dans l’ensemble très intéressant.

I purchased my Roku Premiere streaming media player on January 19th ,2020. I’m impressed with the image quality, speed on streaming movies and tv series and the numerous free streaming channels I now have access too. I’m a Netflix and Prime TV subscriber and I find that this Roku Premiere stream shows from these 2 services in HDD and 4k. Great image quality. I bought mine on special at $57.35 and I’m fully satisfied with my purchase!

Since we have a 4G 55″ tv I thought to invest $40 in the new Roku HDMI PREMIUM player was a good idea. It really works quite well and I do see some small difference in the picture. This is about our fourth Roku device. My only gripe about this item is the cords (HDMI and power cords are both too short. Instruction says to use the cords sent with the item. Since my HDMI input is on one side of the television and my power source (yes we have power strips) is on the other side my only option was to mount the ROKU itself in the middle of the tv on the bottom. We do have a sound bar in front of the tv, but it does not seem to interfere with the use of the remote. I would advise mounting this ROKU on something as it is very small and very light, It is about the width of two of my long slender fingers and no longer. I don’t particularly like the remote as much as my old one. it is lighter and less buttons (ok button is in the middle of the cross arrows). No, the old one is not compatible with the new ROKU device. I did however put the ribbon from the old one on the new so as to make it easier to keep track of it. No problems loading my channels in after I got done mumbling about cheap short cords and got everything in place. i am a 74 year old woman so if I can do it, so can you. Total time for installation about 30 minutes.

This product delivers a decent picture. I think other software might offer more but this is a fairly simple product. My smart function died on my TV and I didn’t want to buy another TV, so this worked well. The TV boxes keep getting disabled, so I was happy to find this.

We purchased the roku to access Netflix, Prime Video, & BritBox. The set up was very easy. I’m thinking we will purchase another for our tv at the cottage. I would definitely recommend this

Went to Roku website, found the product I wanted, then searched for it on Amazon, clicked the obvious link and bought. Then I ordered a dual band router so that I could stream in 802.11ac. Well guess what: this Roku Premiere is not the Roku Premiere featured on the Roku website and does not support 802.11ac. All the info is there if you dig deep enough, but who does that? I would have paid more for the right product if Amazon directed me to it. They didn’t.

EDIT: I pre ordered the Atari VCS because i grew tired of the limitations of Roku and other popular video streaming devices as they all either have no web browser or a poorly functioning web browser.The Atari VCS will be a Linux based fully functional computer with fully functional web browser/Video Streamer with Apps/Gaming Console that can do it all on your TV.That is EXACTLY what I have always wanted.
I ‘ve used Roku for years,including several different models.Here are some points to consider when deciding on which model of Roku to buy:
1)If you need to connect by WiFi in a room far away from your WiFi router,I would recommend the Roku Streaming Stick PLUS or Roku Ultra.
2)If you have a 4K TV,I would recommend the Roku Ultra or Roku Streaming Stick PLUS.Premiere 2018 model can also play 4K content.
3)To search for content using your voice,go with either the Streaming Stick,Streaming Stick PLUS or Ultra.All 3 of these models also have a remote that can control the power and volume on your TV. There is also a Roku app for Android & iPhone/iPad that lets you use your smartphone/tablet to control any Roku device and use your phone/tablet on-screen keyboard or voice for searches.
4)If you want a wired ethernet connection,go with the Roku Ultra.
5)If you want to connect to an old TV with RCA/Composite audio/video jacks,you will need the Express PLUS
6)The Express and Premiere 2018 models have a remote where it has to be pointed at the device,unlike the other Roku models.
My gripe with Roku and other streaming devices is the lack of a fully functional web browser.I have been surfing the web on TV for years and find it ridiculous when an internet connected TV device does not allow you to surf the internet and forces one to switch to yet another internet connected device to do so. I am aware of screen mirroring function from smartphone/PC/tablet but find that a poor excuse to not include a web browser.Many people who type a lot of messages and/or emails like myself prefer typing on a wireless keyboard rather than a phone/tablet or remote control.

The Roku works as advertised. However there was a hidden fee of $120.00 Canadian dollars to finish the activation so I could use it. I was told that this was mandatory and it was because they had upgraded to a global platform. I was given no choice – either pay the fee or the rest of the process of activation would not happen. This fee is not mentioned anywhere on any of the advertisements for Roku products on Amazon or on their web site. Roku should be forced to advertise ALL FEES for the registration and activation of their product. The false advertising on Roku’s part is why this product gets a 1 star rating.
