Q: How large a capacity micro SD card can I use in the Roku 4 Ultra ?
A: Anything over 2 Gig is overkill. The card is used to store games or channel lists. The Roku is a streaming device only, which means you can't download video to the card. There are some exceptions such as a couple of apps that allow you to download videos you've rented or purchased. However, there aren't many. To answer your question straight out, I believe the Ultra can handle a 64 Gig card, but using a card that big is just a waste of storage, IMO.
A: If you notice, the Roku 4 is no longer featured on Roku's site. One of the drawbacks for that model was lack of HDR capabilities. I have the Roku Ultra and it definitely has an option to use HDR onto your HDR capable TV. Note: My TV has HDR set to 'on' so this might be something to take into consideration. The Roku won't magically provide HDR to a 4K TV that doesn't support HDR.
Q: What internet speed is recommended when using this device?
A: You should definitely have a broadband connection, whether it is cable, DSL or fiber. That connection should be a minimum of 3 Mbps for SD (standard definition) streaming, and a minimum of 5 Mbps for HD video streaming.
A: I recently installed a new Roku Ultra, and had no similar experience. To my knowledge, the only other charges would be associated with providers such as Netflix, SlingTV, etc. I had no setup fee.
A: Big differences. Better Plex compatibility when playing high bit-rate sources, smaller footprint, cooler running (no fan), auto stand by that works, redesigned remote (better button placement), and up scaling for both 720p and 1080p.
A: Ok if you are a Man you know the montra... always go BIGGER whenever you can. and You get your moneys worth. If you put in a substandard product between your Roku and your TV you will get a sub standard picture.
A: I have an old Sony Bravia (8 years old), that runs just fine with the RokuUltra connected via HDMI. Can access AmazonPrime, Hulu, Netflix and various other apps without any issues. AmazonPrime made a change recently in terms of which devices can use their apps (I think Google used to but can't now). The link to see which devices can use the AmazonPrime app is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dv_watchanywheredm?&docId=1001423601
A: I believe what you mean is that you are "fumbling". However you can now get NFL sunday ticket independent of directv which you can stream on computer etc...
