Not good streamder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Roku has become ad driven. Roku ads icons to homepage, McDonalds ads etc. Inconsistent update. One Roku has newest software, and other same model doesn’t have newest update. Freezes alot. Will be switching to new Streamer. Zero customer service support for issues

Posted .Hi Timothy, thank you for sharing. You can manage ads on your Roku by hiding individual ads, limiting specific 'sensitive' ad categories, and disabling sponsored wallpapers. However, these settings do not remove video ads in streaming apps or certain themed background ads. For reference, use this link: https://support.roku.com/article/16255268195607. One Roku device may not be updating because updates are rolled out in stages. You can manually update the other device by going to Home > Settings > System > Software Update > Check Now. Also, ensure your Wi-Fi connection is stable for uninterrupted streaming. For further guidance, refer to: https://support.roku.com/article/213122277#section-1. If you need assistance, let us know at support.roku.com/contactus. Thanks! Elmer, Roku Customer Advocate

Watch out your sound output!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good always on Dolby Vision set up. But watch out on your sound output preferences, it might conflict on decoding leasing to sound cut offs and/or a SQUEALING beep sound. I did everything from cables to reset (8 times!) and all nothing. Returning it.

Best Buy is no help
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote stopped working after a week, on week 2 it would not work at all. I called/texted Best Buy and they said I only had 14 days to return/exhange it. It was a 2 hour process, they said I had to contact ROKU directly, that was another hour process, I had to take photos of the front and back of the remote, and do certain things to reset it, and I only had 5 minutes, if I did not reply to the chat, they would cut me off, highly stressfull

MY ROKU
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give high praises to Best Best and the Geek Squad folks.

A game-changer channel changer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a 4-year-old Amazon Fire for our bedroom TV, and it was painful to use. It was never satisfied with the quality of the network, often saying it wasn’t connected. The apps loaded slowly and often malfunctioned, even with constant closing of all apps and some restarting of the device. I wondered if a new device would behave the same, if the whole problem was the strength of the network in this room. It turns out that was not the problem. This Roku Ultra 2024 behaves as if it's in close range of the wireless router, which is upstairs, down the hall, and around the corner. It's an unbelievable upgrade, no comparison. Every app loads in an instant, video appears instantly, and it quickly loads to HD quality. For reference, we have the lowest tier of cable internet in our area. I would compare this to our Apple TV box but with a better remote. The voice control on the remote works great; it quickly understands and finds what I say/request. I’m highly satisfied with this box; it’s the best streaming device in my house.
I would recommend this to a friend Great Cable substitute
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It certainly saves on cable. Easy to use. It was great to have it remember my sign-ons from previous TV.
