I have a large SUV with a screen in the back for the kids. Problem is, the screen only accepts composite inputs. I researched all kinds of ways to get composite AV out of an iPhone or an AppleTV and finally came across this Roku unit. For the price it was a no brainer. The next day I was hooking it up and mounting it to the center console. I have it wired so it comes on automatically when the car starts, and it gets data from my AT&T mobile hotspot with unlimited data. At no point have my kids had any trouble watching anything they want, but I try to encourage them to mainly use the DirecTV channel since DirecTV doesn’t count against our data on our plan. We installed the Movies Anywhere channel as well so we have access to our full purchased video library on iTunes. There is even a channel that lets them stream photos and videos from our home server if they want to watch Christmas and baby videos. On the little screen in the truck, the video quality of the composite input is barely noticeable as less than HD.
Being able to watch live TV while driving across the country to visit the grandparents is about the coolest thing ever. Having Disney Junior live and on tap 24/7 for my 2 year old has been a godsend for those trips around town where you are going to be in the car for an hour and she’s not happy about being dragged along.
Listen, I’m all for looking out the windows and thinking and using your imagination and all of that kind of thing. I don’t let them watch every time we are in the car, we only have it on when it’s going to be a longer trip and this Roku is PERFECT for that. I’m sure it’s great for home use as well, but I just wanted to explain how I’m using it. It is super small so it fits discretely in a small space like a vehicle. The build quality is solid and feels very well put together. It comes with everything you would need to use it. It even comes with an HDMI cable so it can be used with HDMI enabled screens as well as composite. It connects to my hotspot automatically every time without any input. There are about a million channels you can download for it. The DirecTV channel even remembers what you were watching last time and keeps it on that channel for you, so all the kids have to do is launch DirecTV and it’s on Disney channel. I love it.
I can’t wait to use it this fall to stream ESPN to a big screen while tailgating. Who needs a satellite dish?
The main downside is navigating any sort of menu on a TV this small. Not sure if this happens with larger CRTs, but the edges tend to get cut off on certain apps. The text is also soooo teenie-tiny and thin/washed out it's borderline impossible to read. I have the Roku picture set to fit 4:3, but it doesn't help the cutting-off issue at all. That's a bummer. Thankfully, I've navigated these apps on HD TVs countless times already, so I know where everything is like the back of my hand. Plus, I'm young and still have my eyesight and can make out most of the important writing lol. Titles are readable, but descriptions are entirely unreadable. The subtitles on actual streaming content are perfect though. The video quality is also fantastic, but I think that has a lot to do with the TV holding up pretty well. Everything loads quickly too!
The Roku is designed to stay on all the time, so the device itself is constantly warm and there's no power button on the remote. There's also no volume control on the remote either, you need to use the TV remote. You definitely need to use the adhesive to anchor the device too because it's sooo lightweight.
Overall, I recommend this and I'm still giving 5 stars because it does the job! My Toshiba works perfectly fine and it's so cute. It'd be a shame to toss it out, so I'm glad I don't have to. I love curling up with a good TV show or new movie every night now. Thanks, Roku!

And of course for years, I was thinking of hopping on the streaming bandwagon, but there was one thing getting in my way: my insatiable nostalgia for the old CRT (tube) TVs. Most streaming devices these days hook up to the TV using an HDMI port, which of course a CRT doesn't have. Then when I saw this product, I chose to see it as final and clinching proof of the existence of God.
Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit there, but the thing is, it works. I have an old (read: 1999) Zenith console TV, and I was able to make that jalopy into my go-to home entertainment device. The picture quality is superb, at least for that thing, and to be able to have access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. is a lifesaver for me, because now I get to pick and choose what I watch, and when I want to watch it. It can also watch YouTube on your TV, which isn't a lifesaver per se, but it's pretty snazzy.
I do have one complaint, however: The remote that came with it didn't work, but I had an old "universal" remote lying around that I was able to successfully program to work with this device.
Sprucing up old CRT TVs isn't its only function, though; it does have an HDMI port, but I doubt it supports 4K or has all the bells and whistles of the full-featured Roku player. But if you're looking for more streaming bang for your buck, I would definitely recommend it to anybody.

Keep those old CRT's out of the dump, turn them into a semi-smart TV by adding this unit as it has "RCA" inputs.
You can change the aspect ratio as well, 16:9 and 4:3 which is a nice bonus.
It's crisp and clear, sure it's not 1080 or 4k ...... But it's still really good for what it is ~
This is a better option than buying those "Converters" to do the conversion from HDMI to RCA.
Little bit of nostalgia talking but a solid unit for what it is.
Overall well done Roku.
Otra genialidad, es que el Roku 3710RW Express+ es completamente portátil, me lo lleve de vacaciones y fácilmente lo conecte a la televisión del hotel, ya sea con el cable RCA o HDMI, ya que ambos vienen incluidos en la caja, permitiendo poder disfrutar de mis películas en Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, You Tube, etc. Algo que me gusta es que se controla con su pequeño control remoto, y no depende de un celular o tableta para poder utilizar y controlar.
However, and this is in no way of detriment to the product or the seller, it's more of an FYI to anyone who is not based in US, and perhaps Canada, as the item is from the US, and I am Australian based. I had to get a transformer, the voltage is quite low. I have noticed that the unit gets quite warm, and this was just when I was setting it up, maybe on for 30 or so minutes. Is this normal? I'm not sure.
I wanted the device to work with component which this absolutely does, but... I have not been able to get the apps that I want, such as Amazon Prime, which is predominantly why I bought it. It does have Netflix, as yet I have not actually used the device to see if Netflix will work here in Aus, so we will see. If it doesn't work for me here, then not sure what I'll do as it would be pointless keeping it.
