Roku Express+

The product itself is exactly as described, and delivery was much earlier than expected, so the 5 stars is for that. However, and this is in no way of detriment to the product or the seller, it's more of an FYI to anyone who is not based in US, and perhaps Canada, as the item is from the US, and I am Australian based. I had to get a transformer, the voltage is quite low. I have noticed that the unit gets quite warm, and this was just when I was setting it up, maybe on for 30 or so minutes. Is this normal? I'm not sure. I wanted the device to work with component which this absolutely does, but... I have not been able to get the apps that I want, such as Amazon Prime, which is predominantly why I bought it. It does have Netflix, as yet I have not actually used the device to see if Netflix will work here in Aus, so we will see. If it doesn't work for me here, then not sure what I'll do as it would be pointless keeping it.

Says Not for use in Canada but... Functionality wise looks to be working fine been using it for months now! Keep those old CRT's out of the dump, turn them into a semi-smart TV by adding this unit as it has "RCA" inputs. You can change the aspect ratio as well, 16:9 and 4:3 which is a nice bonus. It's crisp and clear, sure it's not 1080 or 4k ...... But it's still really good for what it is ~ This is a better option than buying those "Converters" to do the conversion from HDMI to RCA. Little bit of nostalgia talking but a solid unit for what it is. Overall well done Roku.

I'm one of those embarrassing, 27-year-old millennials hopelessly nostalgic for my childhood and perpetually stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s. I'm currently in the process of redecorating my bedroom and trying to incorporate certain aspects of the decades - but I don't want to completely cut myself off from the outside world lol. The Roku Express+ is great and breathes new life into my 2004, 13" Toshiba tube TV! I love not having to give up all of the streaming apps and shows I've grown attached to in recent years. And yes, it thankfully supports Disney+! Now I can watch so many wonderful throwbacks the way they're meant to be watched. It's nice. The main downside is navigating any sort of menu on a TV this small. Not sure if this happens with larger CRTs, but the edges tend to get cut off on certain apps. The text is also soooo teenie-tiny and thin/washed out it's borderline impossible to read. I have the Roku picture set to fit 4:3, but it doesn't help the cutting-off issue at all. That's a bummer. Thankfully, I've navigated these apps on HD TVs countless times already, so I know where everything is like the back of my hand. Plus, I'm young and still have my eyesight and can make out most of the important writing lol. Titles are readable, but descriptions are entirely unreadable. The subtitles on actual streaming content are perfect though. The video quality is also fantastic, but I think that has a lot to do with the TV holding up pretty well. Everything loads quickly too! The Roku is designed to stay on all the time, so the device itself is constantly warm and there's no power button on the remote. There's also no volume control on the remote either, you need to use the TV remote. You definitely need to use the adhesive to anchor the device too because it's sooo lightweight. Overall, I recommend this and I'm still giving 5 stars because it does the job! My Toshiba works perfectly fine and it's so cute. It'd be a shame to toss it out, so I'm glad I don't have to. I love curling up with a good TV show or new movie every night now. Thanks, Roku!

Fue muy fácil la conexión y configuración inicial. Lo conecte a una televisión analógica, generación aún con cinescópio de rayos catódicos, mediante el cable RCA, con lo que pude darle nuevamente la utilidad y funcionalidad a mi televisión que pensé sería ya desechada. Otra genialidad, es que el Roku 3710RW Express+ es completamente portátil, me lo lleve de vacaciones y fácilmente lo conecte a la televisión del hotel, ya sea con el cable RCA o HDMI, ya que ambos vienen incluidos en la caja, permitiendo poder disfrutar de mis películas en Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, You Tube, etc. Algo que me gusta es que se controla con su pequeño control remoto, y no depende de un celular o tableta para poder utilizar y controlar.

This Roku is awesome. It was easy to hook up, I even took it traveling so I could watch my Netflix at my hotel. My older HD tv only has one HDMI port which is occupied by my satellite dish’s cable, so the option to use another hookup type is great. I have Direct TV and a lot of the channels have Roku apps, but the Direct TV Now app is a completely different thing. There’s still plenty to watch. It’s easy to unplug and toss in my overnight bag if I’m staying at a friend’s house so we can binge watch together. This device is easy to use once your Roku account and apps are set up. Yes, the Roku account is completely free, they will just read your mind in a semi-creepy way and provide you appropriate advertisements on some of the free channels. Seriously, my boyfriend was grilling burgers and we were having some beers, and it must have known because we got to watch McDonalds and Bud Light commercials the rest of the night. Coincidence? Maybe, but who knows these days. I’m not one of those conspiracy theorist people, I just find it funny and a little creepy. Anyways.... I only wish it had a power button. It turns itself off after it hasn’t been used for a while, but it’s kind of a WiFi hog on a slower internet connection. I just unplug it to solve that problem though.
