I really like Roku's interface and use these and the 4k sticks all over the house. Using Xfinity (Comcast), I only pay for 1 4k cable box while running Xfinity stream app from these Roku devices. Using a mesh system or dedicated access points you can ensure fast connection speeds that will support 4k streaming from Netflix and others.

I have two of these, they are both several rooms away from the router and they work fine. You may have received a bad box or you may have a router that doesn't work well with these boxes.

These boxes have 56k ratings on Amazon, and 94% of the people gave it a 4 or 5 star review.

Quote from dcmanryan View quoted comment :
I think they meant the hacked versions where they have no commercials but you make a valid point as the official YouTube app is on there.
Yes I was talking about the hacked version. It takes multiple accounts (I've curated one for news, one for shows), no ads, UI designed for TV, full control over codecs and resolutions and has Sponsorblock..

It isn't in the app stores, you have to get and push the APK to the device, or download the APK on the device browser. I won't name the app because there's probably some SD rule about that.

If you have multiple HDMI ports on your TV, getting one of these Android devices into one (Fire, Google, ONN or others) just for this app is worth it.

Example--I've got this app running on an old Fire TV box (the one that has the USB and micro ports) so you can watch Youtubes off this app, then videos on VLC off the ports. Roku on another input.

The wifi reception on these is terrible, to the point they won't function if the wireless router isn't in the same room. Other devices in the same location don't have the problem, so it's a Roku issue. Get an ONN or a Google TV instead for decent wifi and more apps at the same price.

Is this essentially the updated Roku square boxes that you can hardwire into?
.
No, you're thinking of the Roku Ultra, their flagship streamer. The Express is an entry level product.

I got this a couple years ago and it works well, still very snappy and quick. In the past it's chewed through remote batteries though, even when turned off; has anyone else ever experienced this with Rokus of any kind?

That may be, but only the Ultra has an Ethernet port.

Can I use this to turn a dumb sound bar into a 'roku' device for spotify to recognize?

BTW, Roku has been banning channels that Roku does not want you to watch. Several channels that I was watching have been banned from Roku.

Roku's banning is only going to get worse.

How does this compare to chromecast 4k? Been waiting for that price to drop but never seems to.
Perhaps it is my bad luck but my chromcast stopped working about 14 months after purchase from Google store, I kept getting power supply error. Google was no help.

Fire stick 4k, Onn 4K chrome 2023, or This?


Any?
If you need to record OTA tv shows and you subscribe to Amazon prime already, fire stick with the recast. Recast in your attic with a powered antenna and you're set. The downside is fire stick has ads.

On the plus side get a pihole to block most of the ads.

If you don't have prime then I'd probably pick a something else.

I agree, no matter how much I use or don't use one of my rokus, I usually have to replace the remote batteries about every 8 months.

And it'll arrive tomorrow as opposed to Wednesday with "prime" shipping. A saint you are, good sir/madam, cheers!

"FREE Prime delivery Wednesday, July 19"
(it is early morning July 10th when I am posting this )

Amazon (for me) says
