Hi everyone I'm Ricky from Tech talk and today we're unboxing and setting up the
Roku Express this is the first time I've tested one of their products a massive
thank you to them for sending one out and we also have great Black Friday
deals on both this one and the streaming stick plus as well so watch out in the
video for them so on the front here we just have the name and the brand or so
you've got a high speed HDMI cable provided which is great coming down you
can choose from more than a hundred and fifty thousand movies and TV episodes
from a great array of different applications on here so we've got
Netflix YouTube tune in Google Play Movies now TV from Sky here in the UK
all four so that's the channel for you got Amazon BBC iPlayer Sky News ITV five
on demand and TV player as well and there is loads more that we can check
out as well which is great looking forward to setting this up so coming
down the left-hand side it says here we offer it freedom to choose from a
massive selection of free channels and subscription channels and rental options
watch what you love and pay only for what you want which is a great thing
here so those of us have a subscription TVs that cost loads of money 80 pounds
90 pounds and upwards per month but sometimes you don't actually use all of
them services so this might be helpful to check out so what's included you get
the Roku Express streaming player remote with preset channel shortcuts to
triple-a batteries that's for your remotes a high speed HDMI cable you've
also got a USB power cable and power adapter so what you should know you will
need broadband internet connection a wireless router a TV with a HDMI port
and some channels may require payment as well so please bear that in mind if
you're giving this to a child that some payments may be needed and that means a
card needs link into the account turn into the rear now on here you've got
your home screen there is an iOS and a Android app that you can download and
use as well as your remote control which is great you can fun with that whining
people want there's easy setup it offers 1080p HD resolution mobile app as I said
thousands of channels simple convenient and free as well so looking forward to
really testing this out here before we unbox there's a couple of things just
need to point out here easy setup connect your HDMI connect your internet
sit back and enjoy your Roku Express so now let's cut the tape
and let's get into our Roku Express so first of all just taking out your outer
sleeve we're gonna sit that's inside here inside your packaging you will find
a information guide here so this will show you what's included and how to set
up as well and also you have safety and warranty information that comes with all
products so inside the packaging first of all you have a UK three-pin plug and
that's gonna have a USB connection here here is your USB connection then you
have the high speed HDMI cable then you have your triple-a batteries for your
remote and then you have your Roku Express here you just have some
information here pull this off make sure this is far in towards your remote as
well so your remote can go through here you have a nice glossy finish at the top

can connect to your USB plug and that's where you're going to provide your power
and you have your HDMI connection as well so now all that's left to do is
have a look at the remote and then we'll get the setup process underway so I have
provided a DC of tape if you want to take this to your side of your TV or
wherever you need it which is good so you can take this up then finally we
have our Roku Express remote control here you have preset buttons built in to
certain applications the one that I can identify here is Netflix and you've got
others as well which we're going to check out also you have a form of menu
navigation I'm moving around the system as well as well as using an app from iOS
or Android - what's next left to do is plug in and set up the Roku Express is
already set up and ready to go and we're going to go through the setup process
together so you can either use your remote control that was provided make
sure you add your batteries into this or you can download the application like I

are using a rather large display here then you have some options here to
change the resolution if you want to so we're gonna go to 1080p then what you
need to do is use a web browser and look onto the website here put in your code
