Roku 2 is a very nice product. It is small and very easy to use. I bought the model with a headphone adapter built into the remote- which I find very useful. The remote works on the device even when you're not in the room (and so do the headphones) It comes with various channels, some free and some not. While I found that most of the included channels are less than impressive- it is a great device for those who subscribe to services like Netflix, Hulu, Stars, etc. The product does not come with an "off" feature- that is to say the only way you can power it down is to unplug it. That being the case, it automatically refreshes its pages every so often. The remote controls are very easy to use and the typeface is nice and big. The title screen features a page just for you and your channels. I have it plugged in via AV cable- but it offers an option for HDMI. Also, a major selling point for me was the fact that it offers (for certain services) audio and subtitle options. Overall, I found the Roku 2 to be very useful to my specific needsRead full review

The Roku 2 works well, WHEN it works. I have tied 2 different remotes with it, and neither one works all the time. My guess is the Roku 2 player itself has a problem. In the directions you are told to leave it on all the time. I have found many times, the need to unplug it, wait a few minutes, plug it in, wait till it reboots, making it no fun to use. My next thing is to ask for a new player, as having to put up with this is no fun or enjoyment.

Got this for my daughter for Christmas to watch Netflix. She loves it! The Roku interface is easy to use, the unit responds quickly when we push a button on the remote. (Our previous streaming box was slow and we were never sure it had received the signal). We have not tried the headphone jack in the remote but think it is a cool feature. I only rated four stars because we had one issue with the unit appearing to freeze and go into a reset mode. It rebooted and then worked normally. It has only happened once so I am not too concerned.

I bought this refurbished and it was a great price. I love all the additional features on the remote. I also love that you can use earphones for the Roku channels and not bother anyone else in the room with the sound. The only flaw I have found is that occasionally there is a choppiness (sounds like a cell phone call that has minimum cell tower coverage) with the sound in the earphones. Not every time, though, and I have enjoyed using it.

This is a great little streaming box. The only caution I have for you is that it does not have a way to configure it to stop streaming after a certain amount of time. That is not a problem with some streaming services because they will stop the stream and ask if you are still watching every so often. If you are using something like slingtv, they just keep streaming. So if you forget to stop the stream on the Roku and just turn the TV off, it can stream non stop and use up the data allowance on your internet plan (if you have a limit). Other than that it is easy to set-up and seems to work very well.
