We bought this to replace a first gen Roku Ultra that had finally lived its life. Love the new quick launch buttons on the remote. They’re actually channels we use. Definitely recommend
Although the picture quality has improved from my previous version of the Ultra unit but this new unit is much more Annoying It’s sleep mode and power saving is Ridiculous every time it goes in these modes it switches input selection from MIDI 1 to MIDI 3 this is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I’ve also considered RIKU CHANNEL but several time on several different days it freezes when a commercial comes on and requires you back out of the system and relaunch the ROKU app My overall experience with ROKU is Diminishing
An up grade that is worth to pursue. The 4K is awesome and the remote is even better. Rechargeable with a mute feature and built in streaming buttons. The ear bud wired head phones are adequate.
I have 3 other Rokus, all sticks, so I know how they work. I have the ultra tied into my surround and it works reasonably well. I’ve seen other reviews about trouble with the remote and I agree. The remote doesn’t always turn on/off the tv, Roku and the surround, leaving one or two either on or off. Also the buttons on the remote don’t make good contact which probably results in the failure to turn on or off.
I bought my Roku a month ago and I have had nothing but problems. Sometimes when I turn my tv on nothing happens. I have to unplug my roku from my tv then wait anywhere from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, then plug everything back in and hope it turns on. Now when I changed the volume it tells me what the volume has been changed to. I have gone into settings, accessibility and checked to make sure that screen reader is off and it is off but yet it tells me every time I change the volume as well as when I turn my tv on it reads everything out loud to me. I hate this thing!!!
Not as great as I thought it would be. For some reason the channel I’m watching will just flip back to the previous channel? And the “1” button doesn’t remember what streaming service I have saved to it, constantly having to reset that.
