A:AnswerAny of the ROKU devices should allow you to receive HULU live. The ROKU you need is the one best suited for your TV. If your TV is 4k then the ROKU streaming stick plus is the one for you. It also has voice remote and buttons for TV power and volume. If you would also like private listening then go for the Ultra. Happy streaming DD
A:AnswerI went with the Roku Ultra earlier this year as my first Roku device because I knew I'd be upgrading to 4K. I ended up with a Roku 4K TV (TCL) so it didn't really matter, but I still like the Roku Ultra better than any of the others I have (2 x Roku TCL 4K TVs, and 2 x Roku Express) because I really like that the controller comes with a headphone jack. Those are two main points for Ultra (4K, headphone jack remote) vs. Express (none of those things). Ultra also has a media card reader that I've used to stream online courses downloaded from the internet (that didn't have a Roku app).
A:AnswerYou'll need an HDMI cable. I know 4K blu-ray players need a 4K-rated HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0). The Ultra streams 4K, but don't know if HDMI needs to be 4K. Would think so. Prices on cables are low enough that you might as well get the 4K-rated one anyway. Most are probably already rated for it.
A:AnswerYes if you have a paid service like YouTube TV or Sling. There is a free local news channel called NewsOn that has most local news stations too.
A:AnswerMore than the capacity of the download data, pls check if you have at least 15mbps of internet speed. Also, if you watch a lot of contents from Netflix or YouTube etc, you will run out of the 20gb faster than usual. Bcz, this device will stream 4K content (consume more bandwidth along with large amount of data) unless you chose not to stream high resolution from the settings.
A:AnswerThe Ultra supports WIreless 802.11ac while the Express only offers 802.11b/g/n - so theoretically, yes, the Ultra would offer better connection speeds. However, it also depends on the speed of your internet and whether your router supports Wireless AC. I've also heard of people having issues with any brand of streaming player (Fire, Apple, etc.) on older TVs in general - I think in these cases it might be an HDMI issue (perhaps faulty) - where the video is reaching the streaming player quickly without issue, but the TV is having an issue processing it at the HDMI port. All of my older 1080p TVs have had issues with HDMI ports over the years. Usually going out completely after power surges.
A:AnswerRoku Ultra has option to hookup with Ethernet cable instead of wireless. I noticed much better performance with that connection type and it frees up WiFi bandwidth for other devices using wireless.
