Roku Express | HD Roku Streaming Device with Standard Remote (no TV controls), Free & Live TV

FINALLY!
I have had a couple of Fire Stick for a few years now. I hardly ever use them except for watching videos on YouTube sometimes.I built a media server and installed Plex. I installed the Plex app on my phone, computers, and Fire Sticks.Plex works great on my phone and computers but it really seemed to struggle on the Fire Sticks. Buffering and the spinning circle thing and then it was still buggy. I started looking for an alternative to the Fire Sticks.I went shopping on Amazon. Roku devices seem to get very good reviews so I bought one. Then I bought an Android TV box at the same time, for about the same price, 30 bucks.The Roku showed up first so I installed it and installed the apps that I use. YouTube, Plex, Paramount Plus, Peacock, and Amazon Prime. The Spectrum app was already installed.OMG! What a difference between the Fire Sticks and the Roku! It is a night and day difference. Compared to the Fire Sticks the Roku Express is very fast and snappy. It does have to buffer my Plex videos right at the very beginning for about 2 seconds, then it is off and running and no more buffering.I could never even install the Spectrum app into a Fire Stick. I had to side load it, then it wanted to update itself, then it became incompatible with the Fire Stick. A very frustrating experience. This Roku came with the Spectrum app pre-installed and it works great. Almost as good as a cable box. I will get rid of one of my cable boxes now and use the Roku instead.The Android box showed up a little while later and I was already sold on the Roku, but I gave it a shot anyway. I tried to be objective and honest. Well that was a waste of time. The Android box took forever just to boot! I had already made up my mind but it sure wasn’t helping itself. After a few minutes of watching it try to boot then try to download updates unsuccessfully, I packed it back up and put it back in the box. I didn’t get very far with it. It’s going back to Amazon.The bottom line is this tiny little Roku Express packs more features and it just works better, exceeding all of my expectations. FINALLY, a product that does what it says, no excuses, and it just works. I can’t say enough good things about it. 5 stars in my book. Right now anyway. Lol I’ve had it for a day so we’ll see how long it stays snappy but so far so good. Well worth the investment IMHO, a lot of bang for the buck, and it impressed me so much that I bought a second one.UPDATE: After a week I still think they are very fast and snappy. I am very happy with them. The Roku Express does seem to be the cheap version with minimal features, but they work great. They don’t seem to turn off so I take it back to the home screen then shut off the tv. When I come back I turn on the tv then hit the home button on the Roku remote to wake it up. It wakes up fast! And it is so tiny! About half the size of the remote. Amazing! 10 stars!

Works great
I bought this for a flat screen old TV that’s not wireless and it works really good. I don’t have to use the antenna that you put in the back and put towards the window to get the channels because it gives you channels you know and plus for the price you can’t complain it was easy to connect the size is perfect it’s so little it’s cute and it comes with a remote battery the wires that you need to get it running the only thing it doesn’t come with is the part that you plug into the wall which is you can use anyone that you use to charge your phone like if you have one of those that you plug into the wall and you charge the other piece a piece that you charge I’m sorry that’s it you can use any one of those and that’s good enough. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has an older TV flat screen it works good, I wanted to mention that the remote controls like the you know the channels and whatnot and since this TV the remote was lost we bought one of those universal one and found the code it’s an LG model and programmed it and it works great so with that said I’m pretty happy with it I also needed it because you know you have guests or family members coming over and I was like what am I going to do so I saw it and I said I read the reviews I read everything and I said I’m going to grab this and see how it works pretty cool so yeah definitely get it is easy on the wallet and so easy to install.

It turns any tv into a smart tv
I love it its easy to install and use but it loses one star because you have no way to control the volume other than that it is great I can now turn any tv into a smart tv

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.
