Do not buy! Too many problems!

I've bought 4 of these now and they've all had nothing but problems. These "small form factor" Rokus have two main problems: 1) Poor Wi-Fi - The Roku was literally 10 feet from my router and had a "weak signal". I hooked up one of my regular Rokus (the larger square ones that sell for $89) and it had "great" signal in the same spot. 2) Overheating - google yourself. Rokus in this form factor (Premiere and one other model I think) are prone to overheating. Solution from Roku? "Turn it off and wait for it to cool." I would stay away from them. The price of $39 is attractive, but after having to throw away 3 of these I'd rather spend $89 the first time.

Pros
  • Built in WiFi
Cons
  • Weak
