Roku 3820EU Streaming Stick 4K | HD/4K/HDR Streaming Media Player, Black

Got this to replace my Apple TV....Apple TV is fantastic but my partner can't get on with the interface or remote.This is just her cup of tea. Easy to use, easy to set up, more tactile remote. Clear what you're about to click both on screen and on the remote.I set it up for her and it was really, really simple. Only thing to note is that the stick is quite long. My initial idea was to set this up on a small portable monitor then take it to the TV. The design of my Raspberry PI monitor didn't allow enough room for the stick. Probably never, ever going to be an issue on a regular TV but worth noting depending on your use case.Quality wise...I can't tell any differnece between this and my Apple TV. Works with HDR, picture is just as clear. No pixelating and sound seems just the same.One thing to mention is the start up time is longer if you power the device from a USB on the TV compared with keeping it plugged in. It's not crazy long, only a few seconds but definitely there. Power on the TV with the Roku remote, the Roku has to boot and then the remote has to pair. Less than 10s but another thing to note.Overall, if I knew then what I knew now, I'd probably have bought this over my Apple TV. All my favourite apps are there (even Apple Music) and best of all, it let me delete the BBC iPlayer app! Nice.

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.

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.

OMG this is a wonderful product and has saved me a lot of money already since I cancelled Sky.Easy to use remote control with voice activated control too, which is something I was particularly keen to have again.

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.

Setup was quick and simple, and the stick delivers crisp 4K picture with fast loading times. Compact design, strong Wi-Fi, and an intuitive remote make streaming effortless. Great value for reliable entertainment.

I bought a Roku 2 a few years ago and loved it, however after a few years of use the remote started to eat batteries, for some reason it would go through a set of batteries every 2 or 3 days! I thought rather than try to get a new remote it probably made more sense to upgrade, so I bought the top of the line Streaming Stick 4K+, got it all set up and loved the performance, the interface and the ease of use. Loved it so much I decided to buy a second one to use with our Bedroom TV, all was working well for quite a few Months but I am really sorry to say the Remotes on both Roku's are now starting to play up! WHAT IS IT WITH ROKU REMOTES!??? I am now finding on both units the remotes just stop working, its not the batteries because I have replaced them, it seems to be a major fault with Roku units, every single day the remotes just stop functioning, you have to remove the batteries, wait a few seconds & then re-install them to get it to work, this is really annoying, especially if you are doing a bit of channel searching and are using the remote quite a lot, I have seen me having to remove the batteries maybe for or five times in one night! Sometimes when I remove the cover the green light is on (sometimes it is not) I am sorry to say that after years of using (& mostly loving) my Roku's I have decided to ditch them & move over to a different product (probably Amazon Firestick) I still think Roku's interface is the best by far, but this major flaw with remotes is too frustrating to continue to struggle with! I am going to check my terms & conditions with Amazon to see if I can return both units for a refund, BYE BYE ROKU!!
