We have one of those dinosaur mitsubishi big black box TV's that won't die- but it was easy to connect the Roku to it, and would be just as easy with an HDMI connection (but you have to buy that cable yourself).  A few minutes of instructions and wiring up, with a few times back and forth to input access codes for Roku and Amazon, and then "presto" you have lots of free and fee video at the touch of a remote TV (assuming you have WI-FI in your home).

Just in time for cable outage, we were able to start streaming Sherlock, old Friday Night Lights and lots more.  Bringing up the question- should we be shorting Comcast stock?

My first impression when I take it out, the quality of the construction is small,  exquisite and comes with everything you need.. This box is very easy to use'easy to set up just make sure to follow directions for repository downloads  once you receive the box. When I use it to remote TV, I cant feel any lag, every operation is done instantly. This box is worth its price, it does all it says.

It is now a must have for our home theater - w/ the Plex server app, FireTV seamlessly integrates Amazon video, Netflix and our entire DVD library into a single easy to use interface. I'm getting 2 more to replace the DVD players in the MBR and Office....And, it works flawlessly - no hiccups, glitches, reboots, etc. Great device.

For helping me kick cable tv to the curb, this little Roku box deserves five stars. It's so easy to set up and use. There are lots of stuff to watch. If you get Hula, Netflix, or Amazon Prime you are set. I have tried all three but I think Amazon Prime is better for me, I enjoy Amazon free two days shipping and I love to read. Even without any of these payed service you still have plenty to watch with this Roku 3 Streaming Media Player. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to kick their cable or satellite television service to the curb. This little box will save you lots of money. Thank you Roku Player.

I ordered this repeater to solve a problem in my travel trailer. We have two flat screens: one in the living area and the second in the bedroom. The DVD player/radio is located in the living area and has what can only be described as a wimpy remote. You have to be on top of the unit to get it to "see" your commands. Obviously, it won't receive anything in the bedroom.

This unit is really easy to install. More importantly, if you go to the BAFX website, you can order extra IR receivers. I did that and installed one in the living area and the second in the bedroom. Setup took only a few minutes. Most of the time spent figuring out the best place to put the sending unit on the entertainment center. Each sending unit has adhesive on it and sticks directly to the device you want to use. The receiver(s) also have adhesive backs.

The description of the device here on Amazon doesn't mention that there are 3 receiver jacks. Each one can handle two receivers via a standard 1/8" stereo headphone Y-cord. This very reasonably priced product is exactly what I needed. I couldn't be happier.

Works right out of the box with my Panasonic Viera Smart TV once I plugged the mini USB dongle into the TV. Keyboard keys are responsive and the touchpad is smooth and responsive. Only annoyance is that the Amazon Prime Media App on my Smart TV doesn't recognize the keyboard!! Ironic... but the keyboard works perfectly on all other apps, including Netflix and YouTube, making searching for things a breeze (which is why I bought it). Too bad the Amazon App is programmed poorly.

Compared to Roku, Chromecast and Logitech Revue, which I all have and operate on different TVs in the house...this one is far the easiest to set up and operate

Love my new Amazon Fire TV.  Coupled with my Amazon Echo I can now view all kinds of streaming TV shows and movies.  Having subscribed to Prime from the very beginning makes this all very special and affordable.  My husband and I are retired and we enjoy watching movies and streaming TV my daughter recommends and this makes it so easy.

This little sweetheart represents the best $100 I have spent in years.  I love it so much that if my house were on fire I'd be hard pressed to choose between saving my kindle, my Roku, or my husband.  ;-)

In all seriousness, this is a fabulous device.  It's incredibly easy to set up - someone obviously put a lot of thought into that and it proves that interfaces CAN be intuitive and user-friendly.  (Take heed, manufacturers of other electronic toys!)  It's even easier to use, with a small simple remote and, again, a very user-friendly interface.  My 70 yo mother can figure out how to play a movie - even though she still doesn't understand how the movies come out of the little box.

But best of all is what it does-- streams movies (and other things) directly to your TV.  Once you have it set up - about 4 minutes from when you've opened the box - it prompts you to activate your netflix and/or amazon account.  It will stream anything from your netflix Instant Queue, and anything from your amazon Video on Demand Library.  Between the 2 sources, you barely need to pay for cable TV any more... I have canceled all my premium movie channels.  It's a wonderful way to watch movies, and an even better way to watch TV series you've never seen (or would like to see again)... all in a row and without changing DVDs.  We have discovered several great series (eg Leverage) like this.

A word about netflix vs amazon VOD:  Netflix is virtually free; instant streaming is included in your netflix membership.  Amazon VOD charges for TV shows (usually $2.99 an episode), movie purchases (usually $9.99 and up), and movie rentals (usually $2.99).  Netflix Instant choices are varied.  You can get some shows the day after they air, some the season after, some never.  You can get some movies very soon after they've been released on DVD, and some years later, and some never.  This is occasionally frustrating but still - there are enough good choices that I currently have over 70 movies, workouts, and TV series in my Instant Queue.  And the netflix streaming NEVER fails.  Sometimes I want a show or movie that isn't available on netflix badly enough that I cave and buy it from amazon - amazon has more recently produced choices.  But amazon VOD, though it costs money, does NOT have failsafe streaming.  It constantly stops and reloads while you are trying to watch.  It's maddening - especially since they charge per movie/show (unlike netflix).  I have called about this many times and they always try to claim that it's my Internet connection (even though netflix is streaming just fine) and not their own glitch.  I do still occasionally buy or rent from them, when I really 'need' to see a show... but honestly it's less and less often.  They poor streaming quality usually just makes watching their stuff an exercise in frustration.

That's not my sweet Roku's fault though!  It still has my eternal love.  HIGHLY recommend!

We also have Chromecast but this is much easier and more comprehensive.  Very easy to install and operate!  Love it!

We have had a Roku player in our basement/gym area for a while -- no cable or tv reception down there.  We just ordered this one the other day for our main tv.  Our plan is to "strip down" to just basic cable (for local news, weather channel, etc), and use Roku for anything else we want.  The set-up is really easy.  Works very simply.  The on-screen experience is not super-flashy and feels a bit outdated, but it works, which is really all that matters.  By the way, I programmed it to work with our Harmony all-in-one remote and it works just fine.  Recommended!

We move a television in to the basement of my wife's sewing room and needed to be able to stream Amazon and Netflix.  As soon as we hooked it up, it immediately found our wifi signal and once we put our code in we were up and running.  Very easy to set up and use, and hasn't given us any trouble.

I bought this primarily to watch Amazon Prime. I was previously streaming Netflix on my Xbox. I was amazed at how much nicer Netflix ended up looking on the Roku vs the Xbox. Now this is the only device I stream video on.

I've had a couple of lock-up or non-responsiveness issues that are solved by unplugging the power to the Roku for a few seconds and plugging it back in. That and the lack of quality free content have been my only complaints.

I got this so I could stream Sling.  It's a nice platform for amazon prime streaming as well.  Netflix, Hulu work well too.  Everything has been great and easy to use.  Love the simplicity of the remote.
