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.

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.

This has literally saved me hundreds of pounds thanks to a random ad - not sure what it said but it made me click through. I was going to replace my 2016 Panasonic tv as both its own internal apps and a 2016 Amazon fire stick were so slow, locked or crashed and needed rebooting so often I would give up in frustration. Read the reviews and thought I’d got nothing to lose by trying this Rakuten. Oh wow - £39.99 and it’s like I have a super fast tv without changing it. Very easy and fast to set up too. And refreshingly less ad driven/in your face start-up screen. The volume and tv on/off on the remote also means I don’t need to have two remotes all the time. And one interesting option is the facility to link to headphones. I’m moving to a top floor flat soon and was concerned about volume passing through the floor as I’ve had some hearing damage but this way I can keep the volume just on me, although I haven’t tested yet as I’ve not found it in the settings so will have to delve a bit deeper. So overall an extraordinarily solid product and i may sound overly enthusiastic but I want to spread the word for anyone else wanting to overcome the built in obsolescence of their current kit!

This products works really well and beats the Apple TV as it has Microphone option and specific ROKU channels. I was able to watch my childhood favourite Popeye.Plenty of free content in addition to all streaming platforms. Its also a steal at the price and delivers 4K well

Not only is this tv app very good, it is very user friendly It doesn’t scroll through a traditional list of Uk channels. Although it does have alternatives to this. But access to the main channels is available through the easily downloaded apps I have found that the vocal search function is a bit limited. When asked for Location location location program it seemed to think that I want to reset the time. Otherwise it seems ok But that hasn’t stopped me buying a second one for another room. So that says it all

The Roku Streaming Stick is by a big margin one of the best purchases anyone with an old (or even new) tv can make. I have a Samsung “smart” TV (2015) which sadly now runs the older Samsung OS so everyday is becoming less and less smart, i decided to go with Roku instead of Amazon’s own stick due to airplay capabilities and boy oh boy it was the right decision. The Roku sticks works wonderfully both mirroring iPhone/iPad but also casting video and audio through AirPlay, although it does not support VPNs, i can connect my iPhone/iPad to VPN and cast video and it works great. UI is simple but effective, with minimal ads, and a wide array of apps to download. This model includes de remote that will also control your TVs volume, mute and power, so no need for a second remote, you can also download the Roku app on your smartphone which you can use as a second remote or to use as private listening device, very useful if you have kids in the house. I have just one minor gripe with the remote, if you power the Roku from a 1A USB port at the back of the TV, when the TV is off the remote is going to consume a significant amount of power trying to connect to the stick (the two connect through Wifi), so be ready to replace batteries rather frequently (they have lasted me around 3 months, which is ridiculous when other remotes (IR) would last years), although if you power it (Roku stick) from the mains you should not have this problem. The stick supports 5GHz Wifi so should be nice and fast, and includes all the major apps: Channel 4, iTV, BBC, my5, Netflix, Disney+, NOW, AppleTV+, Youtube, Prime Video, Spotify, Apple Music, even F1tv (although you can’t watch live races) and many more. Overall i am very happy to bring my not so old tv back from the brink of tech death and highly recommend the stick, especially if you have an iPhone but not an apple tv.

The device uses the old micro USB connector, so it comes loose very easily. The provided cable is the only one that works, as the wireless hardware is embedded in the cable. The cable itself is not able to reliably deliver enough power to the stick, making the whole thing flakey at best and unusable at worst. I've refunded mine, I'd strongly advise anyone else to buy literally any other product.

Better than a new tv, from any brand. The total of free content available is amazing, all we may need or more. No words to describe, it excedes my expectations in all ways. I fell that I won on double, not baying a new tv and a excellent service with Roku. Fast, 4K all around if chosen.

The software, remote and stick are excellent. the support team in US also is very helpful. but unfortunately it is not meant to be used in the region, you cannot download apps like Shahed and several features are not accessible from the region

Per my internet browsing i thought it is a best device. But it is not. It is slower. Not very good bunch of apps. Apps are not well developed. Main screen interface is not that appealing too. Sometimes freezes.

Bin zufrieden, roku kennt man ja. 👍

As advertised and fast delivery

Because Roku is not supported here, you can't get most of the apps including Disney plus.
