I bought this when I decided to cut the cable cord. The remote is awesome. It controls the tv so no more extra remotes required. The only thing they could do to improve it is if I it was lighted. It has two buttons dedicated to my favorite apps. No more searching and much quicker than accessing home to find the app. It's very quick and response is great. I was hesitant to go from cable to streaming only but there really isn't much difference with the Roku Ultra. I love it and highly recommend

Bought the Ultra thinking it would improve the viewing experience. Do not see any difference from the other (cheaper) Roku device that I have. This device even has an annoying glitch that happens periodically. Sometimes when I turn it on it emits a piercing sound that won't stop until the device is unplugged and reset.

We started out with smart tvs and they all had a different platform. After researching our needs, Roku seemed the most logical. We use Roku platform for all of TVs and we live in two different locations throughout the year. We're seniors and change can be hard but every TV turns on to the same screen. All roku devices and TVs have worked consistently, they have auto updates, an occasional streaming glitch but not enough to count. Love it!

When is Roku going to finally allow the remote control to control AV receivers? Still need to use two remote controls when you’re running it through my receiver for volume control, fire sticks so much more advanced. And I still can’t tell if the ultra will decode ultra high definition, audio from Amazon music.

Superior happy with this magic box ! I’ve owned 2 tcl roku loaded tvs and love their format ! Just bought a tv that didn’t have Roku so …. I bought their best streaming box and love it you should too ! And Best Buy has great prices as well as people who can answer you questions ! Do it ! 😄 tv’s

The remote needs lights. I know it is now offered but I shouldn’t have to pay more for it! The volume control is in A bad spot. It sometimes interferes with other controls while pressing buttons. If you have A big hand it becomes difficult yo control. I don’t like how useless apps appear on the screen. Every time I think I have the apps where I want them more are added when I turn on the Roku. Roku becomes very intrusive.

Great features including search Roku search will search all channels you define that you are subscribed to with one search. It will then show a list, including cost, if any. Then you scroll through as many places the program is available and you can select it from the search. That takes you directly to the channel and usually right to the program!

When I purchased I did for the organization Roku brings to you viewing habits and the ease to navigate. I recently ordered 10 Roku devices for a friend. Most of his sets were a minimum of 5 years old. By adding the 4k Roku it turned all his sets to look as if the picture was a brand new set. 1080 becomes 4K. What a transformation.

Purchased model 4802 two weeks ago . Tried to get it to work for 7 hours (including 1 hour on chat with a clueless support person). Returned it and received a replacement unit. Got this one working in 20 minutes but it sometimes freezes such that I have to unplug it from the power receptacle for about a minute then plug it back in and restart at the home menu. Very irritating to say the least. Would not buy again!!

Our house has been using roku for 5 or 6 years. Started with a roku tv for son's room, now We've eliminated all cable through out the house and only using roku. This newest box is probably the best besides the actual tv. Picture is so sharp and has lots of free stuff to chose from. If you have app services the possibility are endless. Highly recommend.
