Title: Works Great! Easy Set Up!
Review: I was unsure if the Roku would work with my 20-year-old Panasonic, but it does! The instructions for set-up were quick and easy. I got the streaming device because I already have a Roku TV and knew it would be familiar. I like Roku and its service. They have apps and shows I can relate. I have a Vizio, and it has more apps, but I find nothing relevant to me compared to Roku. I have had more trouble with the Vizio service, internet connections, and longer loading, too. The Vizio service sometimes won't work while the Roku never gives me trouble. I didn't have Amazon Prime at the time and I may try it on another old TV, but for now, I'm very satisfied with my Roku streaming device.

Title: COLOR ME IMPRESSED! So much faster than my "Smart" TV
Review: QUICK TAKEIf you have a Smart TV that is disappointing you, do yourself a favor and get this. You will love it.WHAT I NEEDEDOk ok ok, I'll admit that my Samsung Smart TV is ancient, by most folks standards. It was a display model that I got about 5 years ago and I've always been a bit disappointed by the Smart TV capabilities as they have always been very slow and glitchy. I was never sure if this was the fault of the Apps or the TV, but it took me a very long time to purchase a Roku and that was a dumb decision on my part because this little device has TOTALLY changed the way I use my TV.SETUPThe kit is pretty straightforward and simple. Hook up to the HDMI, stick the receiver on the TV, and initialize the setup. At first I was having issues because when I hooked everything up, the Roku setup couldn't successfully access my WiFi. Initially I was super frustrated and assumed it was the Roku's fault, but at some point I realized that my 2G wifi was down and this was the culprit. Apparently Roku and Ring doorbells and probably a bunch of other devices all can only run on 2G, not 5G, so I had to call my cable company to get that going again and once I did the Roku was able to connect and utterly stupefy me with how wonderful it is.PERFORMANCESo far I have had zero issues with any of these apps, which I used to have constant crash issues with on my Smart TV. For example, my Hulu app would always randomly close and would never allow me to go from episode to episode without an error message. No issues at all with the Roku. I also love that the Roku is always ready, whereas my Smart TV I would turn it on and then have to wait about 3 minutes while the TV "warmed up" and even then usually the first time I'd try to open Hulu it would just crash and I'd have to restart. I love that there are so many available channels, although I was disappointed to find out that my cable provider and Roku have been at an impasse and I can't use the Roku to replace my cable box (hoping that happens someday soon so I can stop wasting money on that box, too).OVERALLAbsolutely 100/10 would recommend, this little thing has brought me so much happiness for such a reasonable price. Bravo, Roku, Bravo! If you are on the fence like I was for years, get off the fence and just buy!
