We have a smart TV that wasn’t being smart and we lost all of streaming apps. I was told about the ROKU and it saved me from buying a new TV! It was changed our TV time. We gained amazing app and great live TV. ROKU ULTRA is affordable and works so amazingly!

This Roku replaced an older Roku device that I had for a very very long time. This new version is nice and fast. Video and sound quality is excellent! The only quirky thing is the voice remote. It sometimes listens to you without saying the wake word. I just flip the switch off on the remote when that happens. I have my Roku set to control the volume on my receiver via ARC. I find this remote/Roku highly sensitive with the volume compared with my old Roku remote. If I press and hold the volume up I am blasting my neighbors out in a matter of seconds. I have learned to just keep tapping the volume rather than hold. Other than those two things this Roku is excellent and I am glad I bought it.

The Roku Ultra is great with one exception. The old Roku had all the user names and passwords saved for the streaming services we use. The new Ultra only transferred about 90% of the credentials needed to resume streaming. The otherb19% was a scramble to fund or update sign on in for before streaming was again allowed. Never using sign in I for for the past 3 years made finding the information problematic. I am not sure what it would take to find the missing 10% but it sure would enhance the transition.

I love my Roku ultras. I now have three Roku devices. Two Ultras and one that is 11 years old. The Roku channel is my main viewing in addition to apps for Tubi, Hoopila, and my local stations for news I hardly watch my cable TV, which I would ditch if my wife would let me.

I bought this when I wanted to upgrade from my ISP-provided streaming device. I had used Roku and another brand previously, and decided on Roku this time because I knew it was easy to use, stable (without nagging issues), and was a good value. I was not disappointed except in one area: you cannot have one person listening via bluetooth earbuds and have the other folks in the room listen via normal sound. We had previously relied on this method on another device so my hearing-impaired husband could turn up his volume and the rest of us wouldn't be blown out of the room. I never thought it wouldn't be available on Roku. We ended up hard-wiring an amplifier connection from the TV to wired earbuds for him. Old-school but it works.

My ROKU would stop working every time you changed the channel. I switched out the HDMI cable (because that was the context of the error message). Same thing. Power cycled the fiber modem and router. Same thing. Checked to make sure the computer worked in the TV HDMI port and it worked as normal. Power cycled the ROKU device. Same thing. Called tech support and let the tech know what I had already done. He had me repeat a couple of the things I had already done. He sent me a new one and I received it promptly. Very satisfied. Great tech support.

You can get pretty much any app and you can mirror your phone. I don’t really see any buffering like I do with my previous streaming device. I like the voice feature to find things. If we didn’t have so many streaming devices, I would get Roku ultra for all the other TVs.

Love the remote with the backlight action, and I appreciate the rechargeable battery via usb-c as well. We upgraded from whatever Ultra model was available back in 2018 or 2019? It served us well, but we eventually needed to buy a micro sd card to store apps so they'd stop "reloading" or whatever it was. Speed wise, honestly it still feels just as fast and as smooth as our previous Roku, which handled everything we threw at it with no problems. So far this new one seems to be more of the same, which is good as it's been handling my 80 Mbps blu-ray back ups without a hiccup over the 100 Mbps ethernet link. I have no idea how good the WiFi since we use the ethernet built into the Roku. It's a solid device, and I recommend it over ANYTHING else on the market, including other (cheaper) Roku products.

I had returned home after a hospital visit to remove cancer and found my TV was not available. (GCI) They recommended I get a new provider which on the second attempt was ROKU. I wanted to watch the funeral for the Pope. I know am so very pleased with all the options available to me at a significantly reduced rate. Thank-you.

As it says in the title, it works! It works fine!! I think I'm getting very high res video when it's available. I guess I still don't know how to verify what the resolution is of the video I am watching. As you all know, the remote is really easy to use and I couldn't ask for more.
