Roku = Junk in MY direct experiences

Posted by bare on May 21, 2017 at 09:15:21:
Bought a Big Roku 110$ ...First time. Took me most of a day to get it find acknowledge my Router (cable company supplied, Near new and a Fairly good quality gizmo as reference aside)
Then the signal strength was weak. Moved the router within 20 feet of the darned Roku then it got usable signal.. But still wouldn't work reliably. Really Pissed with the thing .. I took it back .. got an instant refund.. in full.

6 months later I tried again... this time with a Roku stick unit.. ~50$
This Garbage thing would not find/read my Router From 20 feet away.
Again.. back to the store for a refund.

Notably the store clerk then revealed that almost ..ALL.. of their Rokus on their sales display had 'returned' stickers on them.
Clearly I wasn't the only unhappy customer.

NOT a router issue.. I can find / use my wifi from down the street with my Phone.. fer Gawds' sake.
Gave up on Rokus as CRAP.. period.
Then ran an HDMI wire from my 'puter to the TV.
Cost ~15$ and works perfectly.
Yess the wire is a nuisance.. but it's also 100% reliable
