📺 Roku Express - High Definition Streaming Player Review

This company doesn't deserve their good reputation and will soon lose it if they don't improve their customer service. It's impossible to reach their phone line and they clearly believe that product service ends at the point of sale. Continue; The product manual is a weak attempt to describe operation or troubleshooting. IE I'm returning my Express model because I keep getting notified on TV that I have a bad USB connection to my Roku player and the device isn't getting enough power, even…

I absolutely hated the registration process for the following reasons. 1) I've had browser freezes on my phone a few times after filling out forms. I switched to my computer and it crashed too! It finally worked and it failed as the code provided by the tv expired because it was taking so long! 2) You may not use the product unless you provide your personal and financial information. I wish I had known this beforehand and changed my mind and bought a different firestick. My fire stick was up…

I'm already a big Roku fan so when I saw this I decided to give it a try. Keep in mind that these are 720p and 1080p, not 4K. Works for me, all my TVs are 1080p. The small size is great when we go on travel. All you need is a USB cable, since it can be powered through it, you don't need to bring a power bank. In a hotel room, just plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and I have all my Netflix, Hulu, etc. to relax in the room at the end of the day. Since it is powered by the TV, it turns on and off…

My ROKU Express is over 2 years old and was working great until a few months ago I started having problems syncing the video and audio to have. I have a simple setup: ROKU Express is connected to an Elements TV via HDMI and no additional audio devices are connected. I see many posts about the same issue on the ROKU community support page, and some suggest this is a ROKU software issue that arose during a recent update. I liked my ROKU and would give it 5 stars, but this video/audio sync issue…

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…

I used to watch NFL football games with the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket package. But it became too expensive to continue. I thought I was missing a lot of my favorite team's games on TV until a friend told me about Roku and the NFL Game Pass app. This Roku streaming player is very similar to Revain's Fire TV, except it's much smaller and you don't have to pay anything to watch the vast amount of content available. There are apps you can subscribe to that you have to pay for, but they are clearly…

(This review was originally published under another Roku Express. But it turns out that confusing model names are the least of this company's problems.) It will be buried in a mountain of positive reviews, but this thing bugs me so much I have to speak up. I liked it for the 4 months she worked. Then, about a week ago, the message "not enough power" appeared on the screen. I used the original PSU plugged into the wall like the first day. Although 4 months is a ridiculous amount of time to…
