I have 4 ultras and a Roku soundbar, upgraded all my remotes to the rechargeable ones, and all work great. Except one thing...turning them off, doesn't really turn them off, so if I don't restart them, my movies/shows get glitchy. Restarting it fixes it. Clearly not a deal breaker, just annoying.

We have 3 ten year old Samsung TVs. Two of them are early 4K models and one is a 1080. Upgrading our 4K Roku sticks to Roku Ultras has significantly improved sound and picture on all of them. The pictures look like 3 dimension dioramas. They are so good we cannot justify buying new TVs.

I’m so thankful I purchased the Roku Ultra I bought the Roku Stick also, The Roku stick had trouble connecting to my wifi and after reading I found out the Roku Ultra was hardwired capable became f where my Router location was too fare away. I then used the Roku Stick where my bedroom TV was located and wifi connected easy. Now I can watch RAV News without any problems. LGHDTV 8000 wouldn't allow it and now I can watch not just RAV but many other news and entertainment without the LAG time LG gave me. Thank you so much Roku.

Love everything about the Roku ultra. I purchased a Hisense 65 in QD7 Fire TV. Bought the ultra so I could set it up immediately. Love all the free channels (and the continual adding of channels). The hands free voice search is a great feature. I use it as much as possible. Love the flexibility of eliminating certain rows on the home page, customizing just the way I like it. And I'm confident that Roku will always try to be the best experience TV viewing with new updates.

We had purchased a smart tv, that was supposed to be able to stream all of our channels. We were getting constant interruptions and signal issues with the TV and our internet. We placed a Roku stick on the smart TV, and all the issues were resolved. We went out the next day, purchased a Roku Ultra, and haven’t had a single issue. We recommend the Roku Ultra to everyone who wants uninterrupted streaming service.

I upgraded my Roku Ultra from 2 models ago and saw a very nice improvement in picture quality. I do find it a bit slower at times in responding with the included remote( no batteries, yeaaa). Of course, I'm not sure if the recharge battery in the Roku can be swapped ,but im sure it will out last the usefulness of this Roku,maybe. It doesn't seem to be faster internet wise since Roku refuses to put a gigabit network connector. I get their reasoning that you won't stream faster than 100, but I would've like to see that change. I'm no fan of wifi if I can avoid it. I have enough things on my wifi network. The picture quality is worth the price of the new one . I'm quite impressed. The picture quality is as good as my 2 gen Apple 4k TV and almost as good as my Nvidia Shield Pro.... tv I'm using is a 77-inch Sony A95l and a lg C9 77 inch.

We have the Roku ultra for about a year. Was working fine but now the usb remote doesn’t work unless it’s plugged in. The new updated usb remote says it’s supposed to hold the charge longer than the original usb remote. Called customer service and it didn’t help. To buy a replacement remote is about 1/2 the price of a whole new system. I would rather a battery remote than a rechargeable one that doesn’t last more than a year.

Significantly better than the stick. It is much more responsive but also more directional. You have to point the remote at the receiver or it won’t respond. Love the “rocket ship” on the remote. A great shortcut.. if you can afford it, spend the extra money.

I love the remote. It lights up when you move it so the buttons are easy to see. There's a button on the receiver to find the remote if you've misplaced it. I don't like the four company buttons at the bottom, it's too easy to accidentally hit one and have your program changed. Also, the microphone button is too close to the pause and I frequently hit it instead of the pause and the screen goes silent -- very annoying.

I was already using the 4K Stick I had bought 3 years ago. I asked a friend for the new backlighted remote for Xmas, and he ended up getting me the Ultra! It was pretty easy to switch over, and now I have 2 remotes to use with it. The only difference I have noticed is that the audio levels are a few dB lower on the Ultra, so I have to set the receiver volume higher than before. It also seems to run a bit faster, and some apps even don't need to reload if you return to the Home screen and re-launch the app.
