Roku For Older Tv With Hdmi

I have 5 TV’s and 5 Roku devices for each tv. The older ‘smart’ tv’s no longer get updates and therefore Roku provides the smarts. Even my older Roku sticks have had no problems installing new applications. Don’t pay extra for a smart tv that will eventually require a Roku stick to remain intelligent.

I had the older Roku but this one opens up so much more.

Just wish the remote was bigger for older people I love my Roku tv

It is interesting how some small features can be very useful, the thing that I really love about this Roku: 1. Its control also controls TV's volume and power off/on. So, you do not need the TV control most of the time. 2. Its control uses Bluetooth (or WiFi) instead of infrared, so you do not need to point the control when using the control. 3. The control is very responsive, for instance to control the video playback, or apps. 4. The apps open faster than my previous Roku. 4. It supports 4K effectively. I use Plex often, and even for videos that are 480p or 720p, it enlarges them to 4k, and their picture looks better than my previous Roku's 1080p. 5. It does not need a HDMI cable and nicely gets concealed in the back of TV. I have a Sceptre TV that is clearly not great brand, but it still works fine with its HDMI ports and using USB port is enough to power it. I have not used the search capability, and I doubt I would, but that might get useful for some people as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Roku products and have used them for years. This speaker met my expectations. For the size, it is a definite upgrade over the TV speakers. I used it in combination with my Roku TV and the process couldn't have been easier. Just plug it in with the included HDMI Arc cable and you're good to go. It also includes an optical cable if needed, but HDMI Arc is definitely the way to go if your TV is equipped for it. It comes with a basic battery powered Roku remote. I absolutely love the Roku TV menu and can't live without it. It organizes all of your apps very well and is smooth without any lag. This is a perfect option for people who are not very tech savvy. The speaker itself is extremely solid and well built. Feels like a brick in your hand. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Roku Streambar is an excellent addition to any TV. Even though it is small form factor, the sound quality is that of some top of the line soundbar systems. The Streambar comes with everything you need to connect to virtually any TV that has HDMI inputs. You also get a Optical audio cable if you need it but it is preferred to connect through an HDMI-ARC input. They also provide batteries with the remote. Setup is simple and only takes a few minutes before your ready to watch your favorite streaming services! Excellent product!

All my TV's are either Roku TV's or have a streaming device attached. I recently purchased a portable TV that can run on batteries. It also has an HDMI port and USB for power. I didn't hesitate an ordered a new Roku express. I can now stream from my patio and deck. Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a 2 year old Onn brand TV that quit working. I'm used to Roku TVs so I had to get used to this OS. The screen, sound and everything about the TV is excellent. Is has 3 HDMI ports and supports Arc. It detected my soundbar without issue. I actually like the remote better than a roku remote. My only complaint is that it doesn't support some of the apps available on Roku. Notably, the ESPN app and the Peloton app. For those, I connected a chromecast to one of the HDMI ports and I access them through there.

Loving my Roku Ultra. The screen display is very easy to follow and it wasn't too hard to figure out the remote, although it is a bit different from any other I have had. Was surprised then the TV screen told me my remote needed charging, a first for me. It charged quickly and I think I kept using it while it did. Didn't know what to expect from the Roku Channel, but have found some fun specialty channels there. Also lots of music channels; enjoying Christmas Classics and Christmas Jazz this month. I just have the most basic cable lineup provided at the place where I am staying now. But I subscribe to several streaming services and it was easy to add whatever ones I want to the Home Screen, or remove those I don't want. I also like using the voice command on the remote to find movies or other shows I am hoping I might be able to watch on one of my channels or services. It was very simple hook this up to the TV with the HDMI cable. (Make sure your TV has an HDMI port, or order something extra to adapt the Roku HDMI cable to a USB port or whatever port is on your TV.)

After 'cutting the cord' with an older smart TV we needed a device for streaming. The Roku was inexpensive and easy to set up. Still exploring the options but so far so good!
