I signed up for Disney+. I was really looking forward to seeing the classics again. Unfortunately, my Roku is too old. The modelI have is a 25900X. Can’t get the Disney+ app on it. Sorry, Disney. I won’t be spending money to upgrade my Roku just so I can watch Disney+. I have absolutely no desire to sit my 4 year old granddaughter down with my laptop.

Roku’s got to address the problem they have with their remotes — the new one has the same unreliability at sending the signal to the Hitachi TV (Roku is built in) that the Roku 1 I got for the old-style TV. Obviously the new one has a better picture (4K), and the Roku remote (other than those shortcut buttons which are just a nuisance and in a nuisance location) size, layout, and simplicity is the best there is and has been that way from the first time I’d ever used one (somewhere I still have my Roku 3, pretty much loved that one).

The Roku stick I’ve used for the smaller flat screen used to have the occasional problem, but used radio signal instead of infrared, and was much, much more reliable. The main problem with the stick has been when it’s been on for hours, the temperature increase makes it slower to respond to commands, or just refuses to connect.
