Roku - Streaming Stick+ 4K Streaming Device with Roku Voice Remote and TV Controls - Black

Miserable experience usually I use YouTube I have at every 3 to 4 minutes and sometimes 55 second ads every 3 to 4 minutes barely you can watch something so miserable

I bought this several weeks ago. I use it mainly to stream MLB network. Virtually every time the game goes to a commercial break, the app freezes. I have to hit the home button and reload the app. Very annoying. I have spoken with MLB support and Roku support. Each blames the other. This is known problem if you search the internet. Many folks are having the same problem but it has not been addressed.

Overall it is a nice player. Selected titles load quickly. Faster than Chromecast with Google TV. Roku remote is of better quality too. The disappointment is that the remote can not be programmed to control the audio level an a A/V receiver. I still need another remote to adjust the volume. Very backward in today's world. Both Fire stick an Chromecast with Google TV remotes do this.

I have had Roku TVs and devices for more than 11 years. During that time I have been extremely happy with the devices. Until... In 2022 I bought three new 4K streaming Sticks. The devices themselves work but the remotes are awful! At least Once a week I have to reset the remotes. When they "die" they can only turn the TV on and operate the volume. I have to restart the streaming stick and go through the process of either pressing the button under in the battery compartment and waiting five seconds. Or, resetting the device completely and Going to the webpage to choose apps again, yadda yadda. After the 10 minutes it takes for this process, it rearranges the order in which you have your apps which is a pain! It probably takes another 10 minutes every time I have to reset the remote. Ugh! While I love the device, seriously, do something about the remote Roku!
