Not as happy as I expected to be

Pause and fast forward feature not nearly as good as my lower end model.
I have been having issues from day one and when I go to the help desk, I have to give them my credit card information before they well even help me. I would not recommend this to anyone. They can’t stand by their product.
We upgraded to a newer Roku after over 10 years. The other one worked amazing! This one is great also. It's easier to maneuver. There are short cuts on the remote. Overall just a great user friendly product.
Purchased the Ultra in Aug 2023 and this was an upgrade from a nearly 9 year old Roku 3. The best part of the Ultra is the additional memory and it is faster, just not amazingly faster. The real problem I’ve had is with the remote. When I use a channel like YouTube and scroll right, it will often jump two or three to the right, forcing me to scroll one or two back left. Same happens with scrolling down.
Roku replaced the remote and the new one lasted about a month before it too started with the same issues. I’ve went back to using my nine-year-old Roku remote with the Ultra and getting my TV remote out to control the volume. I will be buying a different streaming player and wish I could get a refund for this one.
I am not a big TV fan, just watch new and mostly 2 or 3 channels and cable cost was too much. Finally, I cut the cord and cancelled the cable subscription. Bought two Roku Ultimate for my 2 TVs. Setup was very easy, works great and no issues. I can watch my few channels and very happy with Roku. Should have made the switch years ago.
Made the decision to cut-the-cable and switch to streaming. Roku products work! They are intuitive to use and still come with relevant, easy to follow instructions. Recommend to anyone who is looking for an alternative to cable TV program distribution.
