    This works pretty well however the only thing is is that sometimes it will just automatically start turning things on if you just have it on the home screen you don't do anything. Other than that quality and everything is great

    it did the job that i needed. i was looking to be able to use an additional quick set up for an additional tv in another room and the connection worked fine. it would have been nice to have it work for multiple tv's in different rooms, and watching different shows.

    Great product, should have gotten it sooner, works with older tv's that are end of life with no more support ad long as you have a working hdmi port, just plug it in and install the apps you want to use. Getting a second unit for another old tv that matches this in 4k. Very pleased with the back lit/voice remote.

    I hate wireless so I got the Ultra and plugged in ethernet cable. I use this on old OLED where apps are functioning properly anymore. It's in my garage so haven't used it a ton, but it does seem to work very well and I am pleased and would recommend it.

    Dropped Xfinity cable TV, keeping 1-gig internet and land line phone. Saved $136/month. Works for us because almost everything we watch is on Roku YouTube app. Also get our local channels, and other apps for free. Only cost us $99 for the Roku Ultra.

    Beware of Expectations

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Promises more than it delivers---but my expectations may be too high and my ability to handle divergent technologies may not be up to task. Conflict with existing Smart TV and Roku continue--- More time needed to learn how to manage both remotes effectively and to get Google products to be recognized by both platforms. Both systems seem to despise Google.

    I do love my Roku but I have to say there are issues. Several times a week there is no picture and I have to reset the Roku which becomes annoying. There is also a question of longevity or maybe planned obsolescence as this is my third Roku in three years. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and provides a great picture. It gets 5 stars for being user-friendly and picture quality but loses some stars for resetting and longevitity.

      Hello, Doyan. Thanks for being a Roku fan and taking the time to share this with us. We understand that you have a problem with your Roku device. We have a few suggestions that may help! Please try to check the HDMI cables. If they are firmly plugged into the TV, it's best to plug them into the HDMI ARC for the best audio and quality picture, ensure that the device is running with the latest software version by going to Settings> System > Software update. It's also best to test the device on a different TV to see if it has the same issue.
      Also, please check out this FAQ article for more troubleshooting steps: https://support.roku.com/article/208755458. If the issue persists, remember that Roku support is always here to help. Contact us at support.roku.com/contactus to connect with an agent who can assist you in troubleshooting this. Your feedback is very important to us, and we're eager to help. Happy Streaming!

    This unit is an upgrade from an 8 year old Roku 4K Ultra. Back lighting is nice during evening use. I miss the ear phone plug in feature but overall it has eliminated freeze up after fast forward.
