The only issue I found is entering email address. @ options ie. @gmail.com , @hotmail.com etc. Other than this, Roku is user friendly. Thank you
I bought this POC a month ago and went on vacation. When I got back the remote was dead. I got online to see how to fix it. The website said replace the batteries, but my remote doesn't take batteries. Also, none of my available cabling fits the charger (I have Apple devices). When I try to request help from the website, I get a prompt that says enter your code that we sent you here. Only problem -- the code arrives 2 hours later -- one hour after it has expired. So I called them, but there's no real person you can talk to. Very frustrating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We switched to streaming with Roku a month ago and are happy we did. This product works like it should and to date, we have had no problems with it at all. Happy customer!
This is the second one I bought and they both had problems with the same error message about diconnecting and reconnecting and changing inputs. Have to do this several times a week. I hope they issue software update.

Hi Chris. Thanks for letting us know about the behavior you're seeing with your Roku device. To ensure you're on the latest software update, go to Settings > System > Software update. Make sure that the cables are firmly plugged in.
Performing a restart would help to reboot the system by going to Settings > System > Software update. If the issue persists, contact us at support.roku.com/contactus. Happy Streaming! Roku Customer Advocate
I went for an ultra because of it's extra options, but chiefly for native Bluetooth audio support in board. The ultra also supports USB devices such as drives, and full keyboards.
The previous Roku I had kept cutting out and overheating. It was so frustrating. Roku had a big sale and I decided to take a chance and upgrade to this model. Very very happy that I did. I may even upgrade my other Rokus next time Roku has another fabulous sale!!
