    Easy to set up. I use this to access PBS and Hulu. This also lets me access many other free and subscription services.

    I am very satisfied with the RoKu Ultra. Very easy to use, and the Geek squad did an excellent job setting up my TV sets. The only problem that occurred, was the gentleman that I had spoke with when ordering, did not tell me to order enough, so, luckily the Geek squad had another one available in their vehicle, so all 3 TV's could be set-up when they were here. The gentleman had said that the Insignia TV that I had ordered from Best Buy, was already set-up for RoKu, when in fact, it was not. He knew I had a Fire TV, wrong information was given to me. In the end, it cost me more, but, overall I am happy with the RoKu systerm. Thank you. Mary Garbe

    Roku: My Favorite Streaming Device

    The Roku Streaming Box is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a seamless, affordable, and feature-packed streaming experience. Setup is incredibly easy, and the user-friendly interface makes navigation a breeze. I love the streaming quality with my 4K TV and the remote is simple yet effective. I have yet to find a better streaming device with an intuitive and high performing OS. I have tried other streaming devices on the market and nothing compares to the ease of use ROKU.

    I had the earlier version of the Roku Ultra the remote kept requiring a battery reset (plug in the remote) even though it was fully charged. So far this remote works fine.

    Upgraded from the simpler Roku box and it’s literally the same thing with a nicer feeling controller and a very convenient find remote button (it works but sometimes it doesn’t). It had a few upgrades like better internet and some Dolby audio (simplifying) but unless you have a tv with good/dolby speakers it’s not going to make a difference. Not bad got in on sale.

    So many great features and easy to use. I honestly love the remote and the Bluetooth headphones work seamlessly which is great for when my wife is studying and I can still watch TV. Also tv sound is something my grandma struggles hearing the tv but the headphones are better! Tried it with AirPods and Sonys and it’s great. It’s the bells and whistles model and it feels like it. I also love the find the remote feature as our couch is remote hungry…

    Very fast device compared to other streaming devices. Supports all of the latest tech features such as Atmos, HDR10+, Dobly Vision etc. The find remote feature is amazing, I have twin toddlers and the remote routinely disapears so being able to hit the button on the side of the unit is amazing. Only downsides is for some reason Disney+ seems to glitch out sometimes where audio will play with no video and the remote is very sensitive to touch and there is no lock for it. So if you leave the remote on the bed even the slightest movement will sometimes hit buttons. Otherwise it runs much better and smoother than any built in TV system or multiple generations of firesticks i've used.

    I’ve had a Roku for years. This isn’t the first one but this one is amazing because the remote has no batteries you charge it. That’s really awesome. Plus you talk to it. The TV comes on when you tell it to be very difficult. It’s pretty cool. I would definitely purchase again. !!!!!!

    This streaming device finally makes it simple to watch television again! I have all my apps in one place signed in! The most important part I was able to help my 90 year old mother watch something on Apple TV or Netflix or Hulu or Disney without too much trouble. I don't think we realize how hard it is for some older people to actually watch programs on television. Roku Ultra streaming device really helped! Thank you Roku!

    This Roku Ultra is being used on an old LED TV that does not have Bluetooth. It was very easy to set up and now allows me to use my Bluetooth headphones while watching programs.

    Had some points and a gift card I would not typically update an already great ROKU with another great ROKU but pulled the trigger because it was roughly double the wifi speed of my previous. I didn't think the backlit remote would matter to me much but IT DOES. Love it

    Gotta say works great and fast the reason for purchase when my family travels most hotels have maybe Netflix built in to theirs TVs but also have free WiFi. I got this so the kids have all the media apps available and using this instead of what the hotel provides it’s a lot faster … and it’s very portable
