I love Roku

I bought a ROKU 3 in 2013 because I no longer have cable but an outside antenna and I love it. My ROKU 3 lasted for over 10 years and I decided to get the ROKU ULTRA I was so happy when it downloaded all my apps on it's own during installation, I dreaded the thought of having to go through all those apps again but it did it automatically!! The voice command button is very convenient I still haven't gotten used to it but I like it a lot. My only complaint with this is in the middle of a program or show it shuts down and goes back to home screen. This is VERY annoying!! I did everything on my end to fix it after going online to the ROKU community but nothing worked. It still does it after checking system update and restarting it. This is very frustrating when I am watching something I can't replay. I have a 5G network with Spectrum for my internet so I can't imagine it being because of the internet, nothing else does this.
I have streamed through a Roku device for longer than I can remember and have always thought it to be the best system available. I recently replaced an older, simpler model with the Ultra and I am glad I made the choice. It's faster and clearer and I am looking forward to using its features in our media room.
The old system took a minute or so to boot up to a channel. This takes seconds. The ear phones allow private listening without waking your mate. The audio controls are excellent in search mode. Quite an overall improvement.
Bought roku ultra today came home took out the firestick for this..i did not want to disrupt my wife with tv noise so my purchase was for the headphone feature...bought it home set up all my apps which takes forever and the headphones DONT WORK...tried the ones that came and 3 others that i use for my guitars the jack is bad...so now i have to erace all return and start over...no way ill just return ..disappointed..smh
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Don, we’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we’d love to help. It sounds like the headphone jack on your remote may not be working as expected. Our customer support team can assist with troubleshooting and explore replacement options if needed. In the meantime, you can still enjoy the private listening feature by using the Roku Mobile App, which allows you to connect your headphones through your phone. Please reach out to us at support.roku.com/contactus, and we’ll work to resolve this for you. Thank you and we hope to talk soon! Roku Customer Advocate
This unit is similar to all the others; it just has faster Bluetooth / WIFI, so stations load immediately. The only negative was I thought it stated it had backlighting. It does not.
Works good. There's some things that need to be made better. For example. Playing music. Wish there was an option for sort by album. Right now the default is sorting by file name.
For video and audio. Wish that you can skip a video or audio to the next file. That should have been standard.
