Our verdict

A small streaming box for a TV with an HDMI input, with a remote and a handful of named services. It tops out at full high definition, so it will not match a newer set that expects more.

Overview

Roku makes this streaming box to plug into a television over HDMI, then loads apps for video and music, and it also reads media from a USB connection.

A cross-channel search feature and gaming through the remote set it apart from a plain app box, while the named services cover the usual streaming habits of the period. Support for resolutions beyond full high definition is not listed, and the weight figure is not usable.

Who it's for

Households adding streaming to a set with an HDMI port, who also want local playback from a USB drive, can use this box. People with a newer display or services outside the named list should confirm app support first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Search spans multiple channels
  • USB media playback
  • Remote control included in the listing
Cons
  • Named services may be dated
  • Higher resolutions not listed
  • Weight figure looks unreliable

Performance notes

Playback quality depends on the network connection, the video codec the app uses and the television input. The listing names H.264, which many streaming apps rely on, and a full high definition output. Compressed video over a weak connection will fall back to a lower quality regardless of what the box can output.
