Review on 📺 Roku Express - High Definition Streaming Player by Isaac Cahill

Update: After a few months my device started to have problems connecting to wifi that others have mentioned. It will say there is no internet connection or it will ask me to check the connection status, sometimes playing what I was looking at (so the connection is obviously working). When I follow the prompt to check network status, 90% of the time it says I have a good connection with a strong signal. I have to reconnect the other 10% to my network. All this with a router less than a meter away. Useless as their customer support. Original Rating: Purchased to watch sports on a secondary TV first. Depending on the application, the stream will vary from annoying quality drops to frequent downloads causing the audio and video to be out of sync, and there's no way to fix this without restarting the stream. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that this often happens directly after the thread starts, i.e. it is constantly pushed back and forth in the hope that this will not happen for once. Some days it just seems impossible to see. All of this happens with a device less than 3 feet from the router, at around 55-60Mbps. No other platform in the house has this level of problems, even if they are farther from the router. Also, the support options are useless, basically just an article saying check your internet speed. There is no way to talk to anyone after troubleshooting. Also, the device is generally just slow. Every remote control command has a delay just long enough for muscle memory to easily force you to do something faster than the UI can react. You have to pause for half a second after each click of the remote, which is incredibly annoying. In short: spend a little more for something better, you get what you paid for. I should have returned it when I had the chance.
