Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decent upgrade to the previous Ultra with the addition of bluetooth and somewhat stronger wifi connectivity. There is no slot for micro sd card. But this unit seems to hold all the channels I can put on it. Have not tried gaming with angry birds or any other game available, but this unit does seem to be pretty smooth when swapping through channels or menus. Seems to have a more powerful cpu and memory than previous unit. One thing I might add for those using an HDR TV and an AVR(Audio Video Return Channel) Receiver. Go to Settings, System, Advanced System Settings, Advanced Display Settings, HDR Subsampling, and check 4:2:0. Do not check 4:2:2 or you will have all sorts of problems with HDCP 2.1 errors. Not sure why. Just a precaution. I also did a recent system update and the update did all sorts of scrambling with stuff with the sound, with the network connections (repeated restarts to get the network to stabilize, kept disabling my network). For instance on Amazon Prime certain programs that are basically broadcast in Dolby 2.0 would play the progams in Front surround through left and right speakers instead of through the center channel speaker. To fix this I had to go into settings, audio, HDMI and check Audio Passthrough, so programs would play in proper Dolby 2.0 (Dialogue through Center Channel Speaker). Certain programs would also play the Audio Description narration (on Disney+) without pressing the * button 4 times. (After several restarts (5) narration finally went away.) Anyhow if your unit does not auto update to the latest upgrade or firmware, leave it alone. Let it auto update. Roku should address and fix these problems with future updates. Overall this is a good unit, especially with future improvements and fixes to the firmware.

Easy to use, good picture quality. I recommend this.

The little Roku Ultra gave us ease of access to streamed programs that we paid for, but rarely used (Prime Video). My first thought was that I didn’t want a remote without numbers, but after using the Roku for four weeks we have discovered that Roku has thought of everything to make these easy to use.

Easy to setup and use. Good sound quality with the earphones.

Best streamer EVER! Apple and amazon will never compete!

Easy to install. Easy to use. Easy to figure out. LOTS of apps to add and LOTS of free stuff to watch that is actually worth watching. Unlike a competitor, they have plenty to choose from that is NOT for mature audiences only. I have no idea what children- appropriate stuff they have. I’m just talking about adult stuff that’s not full of inappropriate scenes.

I connected this Roku Ultra to a no-longer-in-use 15 year old HD plasma TV and it brought the TV back to life. This is the only device connected to the TV but is all I need for streaming TV, movies and music. Wi-Fi connection has been rock solid. The remote is simple, easy to use and controls TV power and sound. I haven't picked up the TV remote since connecting the Roku.

I had to try multiple devices before finding the one that works best with my television. The staff was helpful each time I came in. The previous devices I had did not work well with spectrum until I purchased this item. There was no more buffing. Now I have a clear picture also. I even purchased another one for my other TV. I'm saving to purchase one more.

I would not own any other streaming device. Setup easy!

I bought the Roku Ultra streaming device to use in a spare bedroom with a non-smart TV. The room is primarily used by our grandson when he sleeps over. Needless to say, he is thrilled that he can now watch Youtube, Netflix and Prime. The device was easy to set up and the picture quality is superb.

Much better performer than my Fire TV Stick (4K+ model). Unlike the Fire TV Stick, it plays well with my Denon AV Receiver; for months I thought my receiver was not working - when I turned on the system - no sound - had to change input to 'internet radio' and then back. Problem stopped when I changed to Roku.

Love the ROKU Ultra. Purchased a 2nd for another tv in the house. Great apps, UHD streaming, and the remote also works the TV too. Weather, news, sports, Netflix, Hulu… it has thousands of apps. Told friends about it and they have also purchased the ROKU Ultra and are completely happy with it.

Love this device. The picture quality! Easy to set up and use.

Great device!!! the wired connectivity eliminates most buffering...

I usually don't like writing a review but felt compelled with this product. I have several ROKU sticks but this device is superior. It made my OLED come alive with clear, vibrant pictures. I now sit back and enjoy movies as they were made to be enjoyed! I am considering replacing my other ROKU sticks with this ROKU Ultra.

Easy set up and started working without any issues. So pleased with my purchase of the Roku Ultra Streaming Media Player. It comes with tips that make it so much easier to navigate through the many viewing options available. I use the Tablo App and am so happy with its operation on The Roku Ultra. Would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Bought the Roku Ultra for our main TV in the media room. It's very easy to use, has lots of options, and, since it's got an ethernet port, it's fast. Only issue has been that I have to re-activate my device for some of the streaming services (Showtime, ESPN, etc.). Not sure what that's all about, but it's not exclusive to this Roku. All of my Rokus have that issue.

Works great and very smooth. I even compare it to my Apple TV 4k

I love the roku stick. Thos one has a handy controller finder!

Works very well and software experience very clean and easy
