Great deal @ $79. Fast! Backlit remote is awesome!
This 2024 version is really a deal @ $79. The backlit remote (also rechargeable) is absolutely perfect. I actually replaved my Apple TV with one of these when the remote suddenly went bad on the Apple. Thankfully I had AppleCare for two years thanks to Total membership and BestBuy N Canton took care of me, which lead to me getting this nee Roku Ultra 2024 edition. Ill include a photo of the remote all lit up so you can see. Its a lifesaver…

Great for streaming DirecTV app.
I've had several Rokus over the years and got 2 of the Ultra series recently mainly for streaming DirecTV thru their app. DirecTV rents their own streaming platform (the Gemini Air) for $10 per tv monthly. The Roku Ultra does the same function just as well, if not better and it's mine forever (at $10/mo. rent per tv thru DirecTV for their device, the Ultra would be paid for in 8 mo,)

Almost perfect but software could be improved
Pretty good all-around, but there are occasional software glitches/hangups. I think it's just a Roku thing - I've tried a lot of their products and none are perfect but they're very easy to use and always reliable. The rechargable remote has an excellent battery life.
