Review on Roku 4661RW Streaming Player Headphones by Joseph Morris

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dear Roku; I hate a dead remote control (and it's not about the batteries!)

I love this Roku! I'm getting rid of the cable and using Hulu and have decided to get a new Roku to replace the one I bought a few years ago. I'm still impressed with it - it was so easy to install. I'm learning more and more about it every day. I was able to change the font, size and color (cyan) of the subtitles! The opening screen is a moving underwater scene with all sorts of fish instead of the pesky 4 Roku characters dancing around. I can control EVERYTHING - on/off, sound, all functions from one remote and I love it! I still haven't figured out how to use the Find My Lost Remote feature. This Roku also comes with headphones and batteries included. Using this Roku has made working with Hulu much easier and more fun. I had a free trial of Hulu and wasn't sure about keeping it due to the many crashes with my old Roku; Everything runs smoothly with this and I love Hulu. The only problem I had was that I didn't know I had to have an HDMI cable so I had to wait 2 days for it to arrive to install it but that's probably on me so I did Technology issues lol! Footnote: Find the remote control, press the button on the base and the remote control will beep until you pick it up! I have changed my rating from 5 to 3 stars. Roku is amazing; However, the remote got stuck on me after less than 5 months of use. You must have a remote control to use it and watch TV! I used the app remote on my phone until I got a new remote that I had to buy to replace the broken one. I contacted the sellers and asked for a new remote control but never got a response from them! Very disappointed! I will try the Revain Fire Stick next time. I have found that very often the Roku remote stops working this way.
