QuestionI have a Roku Express on a TV that is not a smartTV. I also have a smartTV, but prefer the Roku on that TV. What advantages over the Express can the Ultra Streaming Media Player offer me? I am not interested in recording streamed shows.
Asked 7 years ago by Windy.
- Answer I 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).

QuestionI am purchasing a Roku Ultra. From you so I assume I’ll need a cable to hook the unit up to my older TV I believe it’s a HIME Cable (sp) to finish the install. What accessories are absolutely needed for a no problem install?
Asked 7 years ago by Jerry.
- Answer You'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.
  I would recommend:
  - Rocketfish™ - 8' 4K UltraHD/HDR In-Wall Rated HDMI Cable - Black

QuestionI have Hugh's internet service and at best it downloads about 20 gbs but it throttles me down if I use 20 gb so will this unit work for me?
Asked 7 years ago by Donp1.
- Answer More 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.

QuestionI have a roku 2 older model in my bedroom, it works excellent. I bought a roku express for the living room and it does not work well, sometimes it does not work at all, do I need a diferent roku is there a stronger one LR is about 35 ft from a arris route
Asked 7 years ago by darcey.
- Answer The 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.

QuestionI have the roku express, sling tv. Picture freezes up, or it goes out completely. Would the roku ultra be best? Or would it still do that??
Asked 7 years ago by Wendy.
- Answer Roku 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.
