Search function has taken a huge step back

The rechargeable remote is a nice improvement. Overall though have to say usability is worse than earlier models due to the search function. Earlier models gave a nice list that included more channels and movie titles. Same titles no longer show up. The icons suck. Local channels should be included
It's very lightweight and was easy to install. The one knock is that it loses connectivity every now and then and one arrow click might give you three or four movements. At first I thought it was battery charge but a review of FAQ's said re-mate to the TV and that works like a champ. I really like the recharge feature, my old remote used batteries like crazy.
We have purchased 3 Roku units already. The Ultra was a favorite until it started causing the picture to flash on occasion. I’ve looked up how to resolve the issue but it never goes away completely. Maybe this is a general issue with streaming. This never happened until we switched from cable to streaming.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have 9 TV's and 4 other Roku boxes. Low cost smart TV's don't always work that well. This one is the best I've found and worth every cent. IT JUST WORKS BETTER!
We made the switch to streaming and canceled cable :) All is good except the remote is acting up. We've used the Roku for about a month now and the remote is acting odd. I hit the volume up or down just a tap but it will turn up several numbers up and down. If the volume is at 15 and I tap to turn up a little, it will turn up to 60 on it's own (same when turning down too)
Bought it thinking it was better than older version. The volume utton doesn’t work!

The Roku Ultra is great to 4K Streaming. The Roku Ultra has the top streaming services to choose from plus so many more. The rechargeable remote seems to hold a decent charge, although the design can use improvement. The blu-tooth ear pieces deliver quite the impressive sound. The Roku Ultra can be paired to Amazon's Echo devices. If you have an existing Roku Account, set-up is quick.
