    Highly Competent Streaming Player with All the Options

    Its everything I could have expected, a highly competent streaming player with all the options. We're definitely power users at my house. This has an extra powerful Wi-Fi if you are going to stay wireless, and also supports wired ethernet without an extra dongle (FireTV), if you've wired your house with CAT 6 ethernet like me :) . I already have a 4K TV with LG OS, a FireTV stick, and even a Tivo Romio Pro that streams. When my LG TV, FireTV, & Tivo use Wi-Fi they spend noticeably more time opening apps and opening shows than when connected via wired. With this Roku, the Wi-Fi seems nearly no

    Ultra Impressed

    I bought a Roku Ultra a few years ago for my folks and all it did was buffer nonstop when I tried to watch any streaming service on it. It drove me mad and I ended up just giving it to a sibling, who actually has no problems with it working for them, haha.Still, I’ve owned Roku devices since they first launched and have always really liked and appreciated their simplicity for the most part and how well they worked for be in the past. So, reading the specs on this latest model, specifically the “50% better WiFi connectivity” that this ultra claimed, well, I thought I’d chance buying it even tho

    Fantastic!

    We have been using Firestick Ultra. We have not been able to update the apps. This is why we were trying the Roku.Positives:Fast: The response time is very quick, opening apps immediately.Voice: The voice searching feature is able to find just what you want.Remote: Rechargeable remote, either using the Roku box and the enclosed cable, or through a standard outlet. The remote also has a find your remote feature, by depressing the talk button on the Roku box and saying "Roku, where's my remote".Picture Quality: The Roku Ultra's picture quality seems both sharper and the colors brighter than our

    Better than Google TV

    I bought a new tv with Google. After a couple of weeks I was missing my old Roku TV. Roku has many more channels than Google TV. This was easy to setup and now I am pleased with my new TV.

    A great media streamer.

    Great piece of tech from Roku. Hooks up easily. Set up went pretty well, except for a confusing pop up that said my connection could not play 4K HDR, when all my hardware will absolutely do just that. There was an option to force it and it took, so all is good, but puzzling why that pop up appeared. Great picture and sound. Provides all the latest features, such as Dolby Vison, Atmost, etc. So many options and channel apps. Nice not to have to have a streamer cater to one provider, such as Apple. Pretty easy to navigate thru the Home and settings page with the remote. Love the feature that hel

    Fabulous product that gave new life to my ‘older’ but excellent Sony 1080p TV

    After buying a couple of Roku TVs, and realizing how great they are, I finally decided to cut her cable and convert my two ‘older’ TVs.My first was a Sony that we’ve hade for a long time and I used this product because I have an Ethernet connection inside the cabinet under the TV. I prefer to have TVs connected using Ethernet so as to reduce the traffic on my WiFi. This product has both WiFi and Ethernet so a big plus there.Installing the Roku was easy, my HDMI cables were already in place. I really enjoyed replacing the huge, heavy and very warm cable box (good riddance ). With the Ethernet c

    Finally, Tech That Works, right out of the box!

    Bottom line: easy set up, intuitive controls, works perfectly with beautivul picture.This device came with everything included to set up on a stand-alone TV - remote, batteries, headphones, HDMI cable and power adapter. Plugged everything in and followed on screen instructions and had it up and running in about 5 minutes. Associating streaming service accounts to the device is also incredibly easy without typing in on the remote. e.g. log into the service on a laptop, tablet or phone, and enter a code.I'm not a fan of voice control, so I don't use Hey Google or Alexa (but they are advertised t

    Better than expected. Sharp clear quick and smart.

    This is my first streamer. I am very happy with it. I recently switched to at&t tv, and there is no app for my smart TV. I wanted this so I don't have to cast from my phone or tablet to the TV. It works great. I now have the best sound and picture available from whatever I am watching or listening to. And everything is consolidated into one device. I have a surround sound system and was tired of only having stereo from my source. I also don't like fake surround if the source is only stereo. Through the roku settings I'm able to passthrough the sound to my receiver. That way I get the sound tha
