Roku Ultra | Streaming Media Player 4K/HD/HDR with Premium JBL Headphones

I have about 6 Roku boxes in my home on every TV. Several are the basic Roku Express. I connected this Roku Ultra to my living room TV (70") and it works just like all other Roku boxes plus some additional features.For one the Roku Ultra uses a RF remote (not just IR), so you don't have to point the remote at the Roku for it to work. You can use the remote even if it's under a blanket. Second it has a headphone jack that you can plug the included JBL headphone to, and listen to the audio without disturbing your family. I use this a lot. Once you plug in the headphone, the audio out of the HDMI

I've used an Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick for two or three years. Here's my honest opinion after using the Roku Ultra for a few days.Setup:Setup was a breeze. Hardware-wise, it's basically the same as a Fire TV so I just swapped it out. It's annoying to have to sign into all of your accounts again, but it wasn't more difficult than any other device. Now that I think about it, maybe I could have plugged in a keyboard (there is a USB port) so I could type in my account info but I'm not sure if that would work.Apps:So one of the main reasons I got this device was because the Apple TV app isn't s

The setup was simple, the settings and controls are user friendly. I think anyone could learn Roku quickly. I bet there are a thousand shows to watch at any given time! You can be up and running in a matter of minutes. It easily installed on the tv, updated and was ready to go. It is absolutely everything now I've had time to get used to it and away from cable.The remote is the super remote with a lost finder signal, on/off which controls the tv, volume up and down and mute on the right side. It also has headphone jack and headphones on the left side so you can watch silently while someone is

After being frustrated for years with Fire Stick and Visio smart TV, I decided to give the a Roku a try. It has been a game changer. Setup was a breeze. Immediately. I noticed a drastic improvement in picture quality and sound. My 4K tv finally looked like a 4K tv. I could get surround sound on channels such as Disney+! (My Fire stick didn’t support surround sound on many apps such as Disney+.) The Roku is fast and responsive. The device responds well to the remote. When you make a selection, the Roku responds in a snap. It just feels better. No more repeatedly clicking a remote wondering if a

The Roku Ultra 2019 is great as my previous 2018 and 2017 models. The 2018 and 2017 models is pretty much the same. Zero difference in performance between the two. I"m a geek who normally upgrades with each new model. I have followed this process since the original Roku was first available. I like the Ultra for the Ethernet port, sd card slot, and tv controls on the remote. The 2019 model adds a mute button, and two two personal shortcut buttons. You have to use the voice command on the remote to set the two shortcut buttons as it is not an option in the settings to set this up via the menu. S

I am a long time ROKU user, having had a ROKU 3 for quite a few years. It was our main entertainment system interface. We use it for PLEX for OTA DVR viewing along with Sling, Amazon Prime Video, ESPN, Hallmark Movies Now and the ROKU channel along with others. I have been very happy with our ROKU 3, but did have a few issues with our programming that I did not associate directly with ROKU. For instance, PLEX sometimes lately had been refusing to play live TV, and occasionally I had to reboot the ROKU 3 to get rid of HDMI protocol errors. I also noticed that Sling TV occasionally had trouble d

Roku's 2019 Ultra makes minor revisions to the original Roku Ultra4K (2016), with a more powerful CPU under the hood, but looks virtually identical.You're wondering if you want this or the stick?Go with the stick if you have a wall-mount TV and no space to put the Ultra. Or if you're budget-constrained. Otherwise, for everyone else: the Ultra is superior for its better CPU and your ability to reposition it for optimal WiFi reception. And it has a wired ethernet port. Remember that your TV itself blocks RF transmission...Changes (from the original Ultra):* Better CPU. Channels (apps) open in 20

I see why everybody likes Roku. As long as you have internet you dont need cable. All of my 37 year old life we have always had cable...hbo and cinemax just to name a few. But with the technology of today and the internet, the possibilities have broaden.Roku is pretty much like a cable box its self but the channels are apps on the Roku Interface . It has Crackle, Pluto, Tubi and tonsm more free tv content and its actually good content. I move to a different area in my home town, a suburb where there are not as many tv options as I had living directly in the big city and what tv option that was
