Good device but NOT really much of an improvement

I upgraded from the 4660R to the 4670R because I now a Dolby Atmos setup in my media room. To my discontent I see that the Netflix app doesn't support Atmos or Dolby Vision. Only Disney+ and Vudu (which I will not use since they are owned by the Waltons) utilize these formats. Such a shame. I guess I'll have to wait to get those features when I upgrade my TV in a year or so.

nice features

I bought my Roku devices because my xfinity cable bill was more then my budget could handle. I'm in school of Information Technology, in one of my classes i learned how streaming was taking over regular TV and Cable TV, and how purchasing the Roku devices and switching to streaming could and did cut my cable bill by 45% and once i turn in my modem, and buy a modem. it going to reduce my bill even further. Roku also gave me the option trimming my cable package. Amazing product !!!! we love it .

High operating expense and privacy questions

I've had my Ultra for about a year. This is the second unit. First one failed. The big problem I have (or had) is the remote uses two AA batteries every week or so. I don't understand why it uses all that battery power, but I suspect (but have not confirmed yet) that the microphone in the remote is always on and connected to the base unit. Pressing the "talk" button only tells the base unit to react to commands, but the microphone is always listening. Since the base unit is always connected to the Internet this may present a privacy issue. In this day and age you never know what devices using voice commands are really up to. I could not open the remote to disconnect the mic, so I took a drill and cut a hole into the mic, thus disabling it. This cut the battery use in half. Now I have learned to take one of the batteries out of the remote when not using Roku which further extended the battery life. The Ruku is a good service, but speaking into the remote is not worth the feature, so recommend you buy a model that does not have a "listening" remote.
