Roku Ultra - Ultimate Streaming Player - 4K Streaming Device for TV with HDR10+, Dolby Vision & Atmos - Bluetooth & Wi-Fi 6- Rechargeable Voice Remote Pro with Backlit Buttons - Free & Live TV

This is my 3rd Roku player and by far the best. The Ultra player's processor is exceptionally fast (I also have the previous Ultra version) and the back lit remote is great. All streaming services work fine and the player delivers a great picture using 4K HDR10+ and/or Dolby Vision. It does a great job on audio as well passing through Dolby Digital 5.1 and Atmos. I have a LG 4K OLED set that offers typical smart TV apps, but streaming some of them are a problem especially with Paramount+ the LG struggles to stream properly while the Roku Player is flawless (both are connected via wired ethernet). The new remote is fabulous as well as it's rechargeable (yeah, no batteries), is backlit and pairs nicely with the LG set to control volume, mute, etc. Highest Recommendation!

I absolutely love this! I have the Roku Express and even tho all of them were still going strong and still pushing out new software updates I got 2 of these. The picture is so clear and the sound is louder and crisper on these! I saw a few bad reviews but Idk why? I think it was mainly from ppl who weren't tech savvy or just had bad internet speeds cause I haven't had any problems at all! (Knock on wood!) Now, I did just recently buy 2 rechargeable remotes cause I just got sick of dead batteries every other week so not only do I have the remote controls that have the headphone jack but I have the ones that came with this which even has a back lit feature so I'm using them both. They definitely keep a good charge. I can use it for days and the battery barely drains and I use them a lot. If you're used to Roku devices they are very easy to set up once you have an account. Once you sign in all your apps sync to the device. A lot of the apps don't even need to be signed in except for a very few but with easy to use QR codes it doesn't take long to sign in. I did compare the speeds between the Roku Express and this one and I do see a slight difference. The processor is a bit faster. With the improved speeds and quality sound and clearer picture I believe it was worth the price but that's only cause I had some extra money. You honestly don't need to upgrade if you're older Roku is still doing the job and still has the latest software updates. I've had my Express devices since 2021-2022 and they still never failed me but I still have a few in other rooms. Also, I might add that the Roku boxes do come with ethernet slot and a USB port and on the side of the box it has a button to press when you're unable to find your remote control. I never lose mine but I did test it and they all went off so if you have different types of Roku remotes that you use they will all go off. It's pretty loud so you definitely will hear the alert. A few ppl griped about the ads on the home screen but I barely notice them so that wasn't a deal breaker for me. There are a lot of free apps and channels but also if you like premium apps they are easy to find. If I do come across any issues I will come back and do another update. Btw, this is an update for the 2024 Ultra not the earlier version just so no one gets it confused. I'm coming back after a few weeks of owning these and honestly I think the sound was better on the roku express 4k but that may be cause my soundbar is a few yrs old and my TV may not support Dolby also the closed captioning on every app doesn't work like it should unless you FF or rewind I've also had issues where if I don't get done watching a show and come back to it later I'm stuck FF over it cause it's at the beginning again. I called roku about these issues and they said they're aware of the issues. Idk if I should take both back? I spent $80 on each when the roku express had no issues. I only got them cause I figured after having them for close to 4-5 yrs I thought I would upgrade. Coming back for a 3rd time to review and I decided to keep both. There were a few fixes but there's still a few bugs they need to iron out but it's not a deal breaker. If I were to go back and do it all over again I would have never spent $80 a piece on them. That's nuts! You can get way cheaper rokus for way less than half that but you live and learn. Still a stellar picture tho.

Although we only watch movies and shows at home occasionally, it has just been so much more pleasant to use the Roku Ultra than the free streaming box provided by Comcast. The user interface is simple without being simplistic --- it feels versatile and comfortable. The player is fast and delivers clear images. I also like that it is mostly neutral between channels and providers; for instance, it doesn't favor Netflix over Apple TV. Yes, there is the Roku channel, but that is just a side show. It's a shame that Roku's stock crashed a few years ago precisely because of Roku's destiny as a humble, neutral content referee, instead of a content merchant like Netflix with huge market power. Fortunately the company is still a viable business, and regardless I am a happy customer.

I’m blown away with this product. I have a degree in electronic technology so I’m well versed in this industry. Not only has Roku made a fantastic design that is easy to configure and install but they have thought of everything - even down to the packaging. We all hate that little round sticker over the opening of the box which requires at least a pair of scissors or knife to break the seal. Roku has placed a little tab on that sticker the you just pull to break the seal. Never seen that before. Pretty slick - which means they are thinking about everything. The video is fantastic. I installed 3 of them in my home. 2 of my tvs where set to 1080p instead of 4K. When I started the installation it sensed that the hdmi TV port that I connected Roku too was set at 1080p - not 4K. It warned me about this and gave me a link to their web site on how to set my TVs hdmi port to 4K or deep color. So I’m getting a fantastic picture. Setting up my Roku remote to turn my TV off/on and adjust the volume was a breeze as well. Also, if I have my TV set to a different input and now I want to watch via Roku all I have to do is push on any of the buttons on the Roku remote and Roku will automatically tell the TV to tune to the right input - saving you that extra step of grabbing the tv remote just to select the appropriate input (my wife is less techie then me so she really loves that feature). Setting up the audio was a breeze too. One of my 3 setups had a Polk sound bar with arc/erac that I was able to setup just fine. I just use the speakers on the tv on the other 2 setups. I do have another soundbar on 1 of the two TVs but it’s connected via optical. I could have used it but then I would have to use two remotes when watching TV - one of the remotes would only be used to control the volume on the soundbar. Didn’t think it was worth it - old sound bar. You can also pair multiple remotes to a single Roku ultra. I purchased a 2nd remote for this purpose. I hate sitting down and then realizing that the remote is sitting on the end table next to my wife’s lazy boy. Which means I have to get up and retrieve the remote - hence my wife and I have our own separate remotes. The Roku app has some nice free entertainment as well. Oh, by the way, the reason for the change is that I was using Hulu. I went with them an about a year ago because they had a recording feature - which they don’t do very well. Got so frustrated with how they recorded things (got tired of a football game going into overtime just as the recording is ending) that I finally decided to ether go with dish or Directv. I was impressed on Directv streaming but needed a device to stream their app. Didn’t want to lease their device each month and be tied to a 2 year contract. So I purchased the Roku devices instead. This way I own my devices. Also when I went out to the Directv app and subscribe I was able to do so without a long term commitment. I can cancel at any time. In any case I would highly recommend this device - definitely worth it.

This is a fast streamer, which had a few good bells and whistles too. If you are based in the UK, as I am, then this particular syreamer does not support the following apps: U, My 5, BBC iPlayer and Channel 4. ITV X is supported along with STV. All other major platforms work too, this includes Now TV. If you require a streamer which supports all of the UK platforms, then you would be wise to look elsewhere. But if the lack of support for the vast majority of the UK streaming platforms is not important to you, then this streamer will not disappoint.

La mejor versión de ROKU. Es Ultra rápido, Ultra fácil de usar, todo Ultra. El control remoto con Control por Voz es una maravilla. Y consume muy poca electricidad en general.

Both Disney+ and Prime Video are not installed and cannot be installed. The remote has the dedicated buttons and the box shows the picture so it should have it. I have researched extensively and tried every solution available but nothing worked. Also the system does not have a search function. I dont recommend

Muy facil de instalar, la entrada LAN me sirvio perfectamente con muy buena señal, los videos e imagenes con muy buena calidad, cumple con las aplicaciones que necesito, muy recomendable!
