Roku device is a great choice
Great kit, works fine with no issues. Easy to use and good picture quality. However, I expected to get a USB power adapter which wasnโt the case. Everything else is perfect and a good bargain.

Happy with the device
Came packaged well with everything u need. Easy to set up and now my basic TV is a smart TV, only gripe is would be good if the remote had volume controls but no biggie, its cheaper than a firestick and i feel better quality no buffering so far

Astonishing bit of kit for the size and price
Well I bought this just to see if I could upgrade my old TV to a smart TV. I wasn't expecting much at that price. When I saw the size of it I assumed I'd just bought a Wifi receiver/streaming extender that was needed in conjunction another set-top box. So when I powered it up to find a fully fledged operating system (stand-alone device with a ton of apps, streaming services and games) it was then I understood why these have rave reviews.OK - I guess it's not your Amazon fire stick or your Google Chromecast but at that price I don't really care. It still does 95% of what they do as far as streaming all major channels and apps.I'm new to streaming services (other than through my tablet) so was a bit unsure of Roku, as a brand I'd never really heard of. To be honest I'm not a big consumer of streaming services anyway, so just wanted something for the odd movie or catch up on missed episodes. I had a good play around on top of the advertised products I found it supports Spotify, BT Sport, Now TV and Google Photos too... and hundreds more I'd never even heard of.I downloaded the app on my phone and that makes entering details for setting it all up a breeze. It's nice and simple and allows a small amount of customisation (would still like to lock more down from the main home page so meddling kids can't mess) but adequate parental controls. Adding other services was very straight forward as I was already signed up to most major ones anyway.Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the voice control on the app. It picked up a sports channel dedicated to a certain football club, which I wasn't expecting to even find on there as an app - I was looking for something else but that popped up in the results as a bonus.My only criticism - and this probably applies to all these types of devices... is I'd like to be able to filter out anything from a certain provider (I'll never use Apple TV so would prefer it not to come up in results) or where it isn't available... what is the point in following something which isn't available to watch??In short - does exactly what I wanted. Small, low powered and done everything very well with no glitches.If I have one minor criticism it's that the time switching between service could be a tad faster... it's not slow, but it's certainly not instant either. But hey...for that price!!??

ROKU rocked my world
I tried everything to get a signal for my bedroom TV, indoor hi-gain aerial, dongle to hdmi device, nothing worked but then I found ROKU and all my prayers were answered. Wonderful little streaming system access to i-player itvx etc not live tv but one can search for content, utterly marvellous, simple set up, I thoroughly recommend ROKU to anyone in need of a signal without an aerial connexion.

Roku Express.... ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
The product feels sturdy. Looks good. Nice size. Easy to install. Really wanted to give 5 stars. Only oversight is that the product has to be attached to the TV for the remote to have line of sight if your TV is wall mounted. However it only comes with an adhesive pad when it needs a tensioned plastic clip. I managed to craft a clip which l able to stick the adhesive pad to. So all good, just wish it came with that option.

Canโt go wrong for ยฃ19
Bought this for the bedroom TV as it was on sale for ยฃ19 with not very high hopes for it. Very easy to use, loading times for apps are not long at all. Easy to navigate menus as the ads donโt embed into the menus themselves like other popular streaming devices, the remote control feels good in the hand and itโs very easy to tell where the buttons are without looking. As the remote uses IR I have used the included adhesive strip to stick it to the bottom of the TV and have had no issues so far. Very small so will fit on the bottom of most TVs. Perfect streaming device that is less than the cost of most takeaways.
