Roku Premiere Streaming Media Player

Device received in working order and pretty easy to setup (took me 5 minutes). However, the remote comes with volume buttons to each side which don't work, even though the device detects it as an enhanced remote and not a standard remote. All other remote functionality working fine.

bought it used but arrived in perfect condition, works as describedmostly use it for Netflix

Roku finally gave me a good streaming experience. Thank you Roku company! I tried Sony Blu-ray and got super slow and tons of Netflix lag. Then was a combination of Samsung Blu-ray and Chromecast. Samsung Blu-ray Netflix app stopped working and caused the player to freeze and then Google did some update to Google Home and I couldn't get it to work on all our Apple I this and that. So I was major frustrated. Then came Roku! I can get my Netflix, Amazon Prime, VUDU and the various free channels that are mostly fillers for me without any issues. The handy remote works - all the time! No crashes after a couple of months. No embarrassing Frankenstein TV if a kid comes into the room and they're doing something unmentionable on Game of Thrones while I scramble for my phone and try to log in and then restart the app and then oh it won't stop so I just turn off the TV and then spend five minutes trying to get back to the exact moment of the unmentionable greatness of GOT. I no longer have any buyers remorse after I told the cable company to stop jamming it to me and cut the cord because of this device. Roku works, this version is intuitive; it's quick; it works. Spend the extra $30 and make yourself happy and buy the Premier version rather than the stick.

BBC iPlayer doesn't support it.

Update 6 years laterStill using this constantly. I have dropped netflix and do have youtube subscription for no ads and free music streaming which I do use driving to work. I also setup a plex server and stream my server of tv and movies to the roku. I can with this setup lower my bills further by dropping gaia and youtube if need be. Also roku has several live services and channels and as of right now getting a live news feed with president Biden speaking about Hamas.. I do NOT miss tv at all and certainly don't miss the loss of money or the contracts dictating to me to pay no matter what. if I need to drop things I can easy.---Very good roku! I get good signal were the stick was having wifi issues. Works great---updateIt has Been a year sense I bought the roku. This has been a great player that I use constantly. I was able to cut out my cable for about $120 a month savings and really pair down what I pay for entertainment which is about $20 total for netflix and gaia. And if I happen to not watch tv because I am working a lot no big deal. also no contracts!! I do wish I could order remote with my choice of buttons. I don't need hulu, vudu and sling buttons. Would be great if they had gaia, youtube, netflix and amazon on a controller.
