Review on Roku Premiere - High-Quality Streaming with HDR in HD and 4K UHD by Francisco Duncan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Breaking my line of great Roku products

The Roku has been my favorite media streaming device for almost 6 years, but this is the first time I've been disappointed with it. To be honest, when it works, Premiere+ is great. Picture and sound quality are excellent and 4k HDR content looks fantastic, if not as sharp as Blu Ray's 4k HDR. And to be honest, it mostly works. However, that seems like too much trouble to me. I haven't recorded the success but it seems that at least 3-4 times a week I turn on my AV system and no signal comes out of the box. but only this one. All other sources give good results. Also, it seems that WiFi goes out once a week or so. This is particularly annoying since I'm using a Logitech Harmony remote and when it goes offline it means I have to pull out another remote to reconnect. Fortunately, the device usually saves my WPA key, which saves me time. Of course I would prefer to use an ethernet cable like I use for my Blu-ray player and Playstation 4, but this method fails even more often than the wireless method.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Modern
