I bought this Roku 2 months ago and I’m very happy with my purchase, I really liked, easy to install, and easy to use
I've bought Roku from the beginning and this appears to be the best model they've produced. It picks up my wifi like it should and I receive my full speed wifi, not a downdrop like on some other models. I do think it is a bit overpriced right now but, since it does come with the headphone remote (which also appears to be improved over the last model) it's worth buying!
I purchased this as an upgrade to a previous Roku Ultra and am a little disappointed. Issues accessing products and services from previous unit as well as being very slow to start and difficulty interfacing with some software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, help has arrived! Can you specify if this occurs for specific channels or all channels you're trying to access? Please ensure that your Roku has a stable connection to the internet. To check, please go to Settings> Network> Check connection. Rebooting your router can help clear the cache and improve internet speeds. You can also try to connect your device to a mobile hotspot just to check for differences in the streaming experience. We can also suggest trying to check for software updates by navigating to your Home screen. Scroll and select Settings > System > Software update > Check Now. If the issue persists, don’t hesitate to contact us at https://support.roku.com/contactus for more assistance. We're looking forward to providing you with a better experience. Roku Customer Advocate
Have a 2017 Ultra been flawless entire time. New Ultra is a headache, turns itself on constantly, no setting makes it stop. Defeats “power savings”. Also needs to be restarted often as does & fast forward on video for few second bursts & no sound.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts. What version of the OS is your device running? If you simply turn the TV off while the Roku is streaming, the Roku does not automatically stop. The streaming content can turn your TV back on (it's something that can happen via the CEC protocol). So, by always going to the home screen, you stop any streaming, and the Roku won't send a signal to the TV to power back on. You can also try to update the software by going to Settings > System > Software update.
In addition, it may help to try temporarily turning off Power Savings mode. To do so, please follow these steps: Go to Settings/System/Power/Auto Power Savings. Uncheck “After 20 minutes of no interaction”. We hope this is helpful. Happy Streaming! Roku Customer Advocate
My new Roku Ultra kept having the Remote status pop up on the screen. At first it wasn’t too bad but now it happens every 15 minutes and the Remote won’t stay charged for more than two days now. I called customer service and was on the phone for 2 hours and after trying all their suggestions, was basically told, too bad for you.
