Roku works great , however like all streaming device remotes , it can't be uploaded to a AV system remote and it has extremely limited features..
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my 3rd Roku Ultra. The first became too unstable. This one is better, more stable, but still needs an occasional power off and reset. This issue is simple, they overheat. Not nearly as bad as Fire products, but it does happen. This latest 4802 seems to be somewhat better. Some very simple passive ventilation would correct this.
So, today, I am at home enjoying my Saturday afternoon, looking forward to switching between apps or watching various videos on YouTube; however, today won't be that day because my Roku remote control needs charging, and I didn't receive a notification through my Roku App that my remote control battery is at 10% capacity. This means that I have to plug in the USB (the remote control is battery-operated), and watching TV by flipping between apps is not an option at this time because I can't unplug the charger.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The new Ultra's are really bad and I don't recommend them. Roku doesn't offer any real support, their updates often cause more problems than they solve and they won't let you talk to anyone who can help. Setup is much more difficult than it used to be with autodetect. It took literally hours to set this thing up to just output 4k. In the process I found out an update messed up the DD+ output and they will not let me speak to anyone (supervisor) who can expedite the issue. The Ethernet port is only 100 mb. Better to use Apple TV or another product. Rokus are getting worse and worse - they're all about ads now and not devices.
