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

Perfect Upgrade โ Turned My Old TV Into a Smart TV!
As a first-time Roku user, I couldnโt be happier with my purchase of the Roku Express. I recently upgraded my old TV, and this device instantly transformed it into a smart TV. Setup was quick and easy, and within minutes, I had access to a huge range of apps like YouTube, Netflix, and moreโall right on my TV screen.The streaming quality is great, and the interface is user-friendly, even for someone new to this kind of tech. Iโm genuinely impressed with how much functionality the Roku Express offers for such an affordable price.All in all, Iโm a very satisfied customer and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to breathe new life into their older television.

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 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.

Rock on Roku!
Like wow! This has got to be one of my best investments - ever! In truth, I mainly bought it because I wanted to access Netflix via my old non-Smart 37in flat-screen Samsung TV. My TV does have the all important HDMI ports - so I had no problem hooking the Roku Express up to it. Prior to purchasing my Roku, I viewed some helpful online videos that each clearly demonstrated how easy it is to connect up the Roku device, and start enjoying the content available on Netflix, Disney+, BBC iplayer, prime video, Roku Channel, Nowtv, My5, Google Play, ITV HUB etc, etc.To be honest, the Roku box comes with a clear, easy-to-understand instruction booklet that even an old technophobe like myself could understand. Things to consider/have at hand prior to unboxing your Roku:1. Your wireless broadband password2. Have a spare standard USB mains adaptor at the ready - not a necessity, but a USB cable does come with your Roku, and means that you can start streaming faster because you'll have a constant power supply to the unit.3. Make sure you have a place to put your Roku where it will it will have a direct line of sight with your remote. An adhesive strip is supplied with the Roku - so you could affix it to the bottom of your TV.4. Batteries for the remote are included in the package, in addition to an HDMI lead and a USB cable.5. Make a note of the HDMI port you use (HDMI 1, 2, 3 etc). That will become your Roku source channel.Once you have connected everything up, you simply follow the instructions on your TV screen. I'm a bit slow, but had no issues with this process. It took me around 25 minutes to get everything up and running - but that's probably because I dithered when it came to thinking up passwords etc. All in all, it was a fairly stress- free experience. As I mentioned earlier, I purchased my Roku Express to mainly access Netflix. So part of the above procedure involved joining Netflix (I went for the basic ยฃ5.99 a month). I have to say that I wish I'd bought my Roku before the Lockdown, because there are just so many fantastic films and box set series to lose yourself in. I think it's great that I can now sit down and watch a film or drama anytime I want, and have no commercials or screen interruptions - and the streaming quality via the Roku box is superb. I celebrated my purchase by watching El Camino on Netflix, the feature film sequel to Breaking Bad - absolutely brilliant! Oh, and by the way, the remote allows you to easily pause, rewind or fast forward through anything you're watching. I'm just over the moon with this product and have no hesitation recommending it to you. Thanks for reading my review and happy viewing. ๐บ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฝ
