Roku3820EU Streaming Stick 4K | HD/4K/HDR Streaming Media Player, Black

Easy to set up, simple to use and provides me with access to all the streaming channels I need, converting my perfectly good but old TV into a Smart TV.Went for this over the cheaper version as had the benefit of voice activation and can control the volume through the remote.Nice and compact and does need line of sight to operate.My only complaint with Roku products is the charging port is old style and tends to stop working after a few years.

Small, relatively inexpensive and unobtrusive Roku stick that provides the UK terrestrial TV streaming channels and the common subscription channels, including Amazon Prime (isn’t widely mentioned on the Roku website), Apple TV, etc. It can be powered from a TV 1A output USB socket. The remote control is very compact with good voice input, dedicated shortcut buttons (unlike that pictured) for Amazon Prime and Apple TV. The remote is also easy to set up to control the TV volume/mute, working on a 2015 Samsung and 2018 Android OS Sony TV. Roku menu navigation is very quick with no lag and no concerns on the image quality. Additional and feature that seals the deal is Apple Airplay, again works exceptionally well. Fully recommend this Roku 4K streaming stick if you have Amazon Prime, Apple TV, etc subscriptions and also Apple Airplay. Note that if the stick cannot be plugged into the TV HDMI socket due to restricted access, ROKU will provide via post on request, a short HDMI extension lead.

Works very well once set up. My TV would not supply enough power from the USB port to run this, so I am using the included power adaptor.It gets hot and seems to be using power 24/7 - cannot find a way to turn it off completely except by remmoving the power cable.WiFi is a good connection and beat my smart tv app quality when watching NOW tv.

Relatively easy to set up, but it did lock once for some reason. I had to log in to various streaming sites, so it did take a while, but easy to delete and shuffle home page apps around. Quick to load and 4k impressive. The point anywhere controller does not apply to the Sonos soundbar, which you have to point directly at.As far as I can see, I cannot get live TV or a guide for UK use, so I have to change the input on the Samsung controller to TV and then back to HDMI for Raku use.Huge number of channels, but Apple+ is the main one our old Samsung TV could not get.Excellent bit of kit.

The Roku Streaming Stick is by a big margin one of the best purchases anyone with an old (or even new) tv can make. I have a Samsung “smart” TV (2015) which sadly now runs the older Samsung OS so everyday is becoming less and less smart, i decided to go with Roku instead of Amazon’s own stick due to airplay capabilities and boy oh boy it was the right decision. The Roku sticks works wonderfully both mirroring iPhone/iPad but also casting video and audio through AirPlay, although it does not support VPNs, i can connect my iPhone/iPad to VPN and cast video and it works great. UI is simple but effective, with minimal ads, and a wide array of apps to download.This model includes de remote that will also control your TVs volume, mute and power, so no need for a second remote, you can also download the Roku app on your smartphone which you can use as a second remote or to use as private listening device, very useful if you have kids in the house. I have just one minor gripe with the remote, if you power the Roku from a 1A USB port at the back of the TV, when the TV is off the remote is going to consume a significant amount of power trying to connect to the stick (the two connect through Wifi), so be ready to replace batteries rather frequently (they have lasted me around 3 months, which is ridiculous when other remotes (IR) would last years), although if you power it (Roku stick) from the mains you should not have this problem.The stick supports 5GHz Wifi so should be nice and fast, and includes all the major apps: Channel 4, iTV, BBC, my5, Netflix, Disney+, NOW, AppleTV+, Youtube, Prime Video, Spotify, Apple Music, even F1tv (although you can’t watch live races) and many more.Overall i am very happy to bring my not so old tv back from the brink of tech death and highly recommend the stick, especially if you have an iPhone but not an apple tv.

Got this to replace a years old 4k stick and noticeable improvements have certainly been made. The power cable/antenna is much longer so chances are there is no longer any need for a USB extension cable. The interface is familiar yet looks nicer and everything is just much smoother in operation. And the remote has more useful links to Disney, Apple and Prime so is more convenient. All round still a Roku stick which are seriously good devices, just made even better in subtle ways..... Highly recommended this particular streaming stick
