Do NOT use Roku, they will rip you off!

Don't use Roku for any subscriptions. I tried to sign up for an app and accidentally selected the annual option instead of the monthly and now they won't correct it. It was a simple mistake. Their customer service is terrible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was surprised that it had no headphone output jack. Seems you can have either a headphone model or a backlit keyboard but not both. When you go to the streambox the screen is just a blank wallpaper with no home screen channels on it. My old one always went to the screensaver image. Trying to sign in to all of my ROKU channels was a nightmare. Had to go to every one of them and sign in. Hidden sound settings had me stumped for a few days. Still not sure what the modes all mean.
Bought the ultra when my smart TV stopped being so smart. It's been a huge improvement with streaming! I like how I can now access any platform instead of only "vendor approved" channels. The only thing I'd recommend as an improvement is to have all the login credentials saved when you login to you Roku account. I ended up buying 3 more roku devices and having to login to Netflix, Amazon, etc... for each one is a bit annoying. But not a huge deal.
I absolutely hate that I cannot automatically push the POWER button to turn off my TV. I am not comfortable having my TV on all of the time---particularly when I’m not home. Everything else works fine.

Bought it because I ditched cable and tv too old to download apps I need. Love the hands-free remote and headphones. Wish it would pair with Airpods but that’s Apple for you. Really like the Roku channel and variety of content. I would probably want an Ultra even on a new tv.
I have to have Roku for my Internet provider. I was told that this was the fastest...not sure if it's better than the previous Roku device I had.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This device seems to take longer to change channels and when you leave an app and want to go to another it’s the slowest I’ve ever had. Actually I have a black screen for probably 20 seconds I’ve never had it take that long. I don’t know if I just got a bad one or what. I spent probably an hour and a half on chat with a woman whom tried her best to help me but her English was so bad I had to repeatedly ask her to repeat herself. I never did get the problem solved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Original had to be returned & exchanged as headset didn’t work. Replacement not much better as headsets often drop sound. Does not hold charge long. Quality not there for price paid
