Roku Express 4K+ 2021 Streaming Media Player HD/4K/HDR (Renewed) by Amazon Renewed

Good quality

I purchased this unit to install on an older 40″ Samsung TV in the workout room in my basement. I previously had a 2nd Gen Fire TV stick installed on it. I use the Plex app to play media content from my home server; Plex ended support for my 2nd Gen device so I needed to replace it. After doing some research, I chose to purchase the Express 4K+. I know it is not the newest model (2022), but it has all the features I need for this TV which is typically only used when working out.

Set-up was very easy. I installed it in the same place where the Fire TV stick was installed, plugged it in and let it do its thing. After installing firmware updates and registering the device (I have a Roku account so this was easy), the unit was ready to go. Of course, I needed to set up my accounts on the streaming services I use (i.e. Netflix, Peacock, Amazon Video, etc.) and set it up to access my Plex server. The whole process was complete inside of an hour.

One bonus that I got extremely lucky with – the Express 4K+ uses an IR remote versus the Fire TV stick which uses a proprietary technology. The TV is hooked up to an old Yahama home theater system and I use an old Harmony 650 remote to control the TV and the Yahama. Since the Express 4K+ uses an IR remote, I was able to program the Harmony remote to control it so I only need one remote for the entire set-up. When the Fire TV stick was installed, I could control it a little using HDMI-CEC but it did not work very well. Now, everything is very seamless with one remote.

When I purchased the unit, I did not notice that it was “renewed” versus “new”. As long as the unit lasts a while, I don’t care that it is not new!

Son lo mejor para tv’s que no son Smart o no dejan descargar más Apps

Just what I needed. My old one died out and I purchased this followed directions and now am back to normal. Thank you

This device used in combination with a Motorola MoCA adapter (no longer available) works excellently. I “cut the cord” a few months ago. There are Roku apps for local and national news channels, PBS and weather. During sports season I’ll subscribe to one of the streaming services. There are I think over 100 free channels, old sitcoms, westerns, things like that. There’s really nothing else to say, it works with no complaint, no buffering, perfect HD picture. My TV doesn’t support 4k.
