i bought a roku to replace a fire stick because of the fire stick’s messy and ad ridden menu system. the fire stick remote is able to control other devices, but the roku remote can only control the tv. if your tv doesn’t support control via hdmi then you can’t control the receiver/audio device. not sure why it can’t as the amazon remote can. doesn’t make much sense not to support other, non-tv devices, especially when competitor’s products do.menu is less cluttered compared to the fire stick though, which earns back a couple stars from me.
this thing worked fairly well for quite a while, had some minor issues that seemed to be resolved by using a dedicated usb power adapter. the most irritation i had was logging into the max app using the roku remote, instead of activating on another device like the other apps will let you do. but that's on max, not roku.seems like all of a sudden this thing just crapped out. remote barely seems to work; i.e. you push buttons and 20s later maybe something will happen on the screen. reboot the thing and it fails to connect to my wifi. try to reconnect to wifi, but oh yeah, the remote is barely working. clear the saved wifi password, retype password and magically it connects. try to open hulu/max/whatever app and the system lags so hard it won't even stream a single video. i highly suspect there's an over-heating issue with this model. no active cooling and it's stuck right behind my tv panel with minimal airflow.i've been through this once before, and a factory reset seemed to help. but it looks like the problem reappears over time. so sick of this thing, it's going into the trash. save yourself the headache and get something else.
we love using a roku. however we bought this one last year to replace our ancient roku that would no longer download updates. we have never had so much trouble with the entire system including the remote. love roku but disappointed with the device we received.
