Roku Ultra - Ultimate Streaming Player - 4K Streaming Device for TV with HDR10+, Dolby Vision & Atmos - Bluetooth & Wi-Fi 6 - Rechargeable Voice Remote Pro with Backlit Buttons - Free & Live TV

I absolutely love this! I have the Roku Express and even tho all of them were still going strong and still pushing out new software updates I got 2 of these. The picture is so clear and the sound is louder and crisper on these! I saw a few bad reviews but Idk why? I think it was mainly from ppl who weren't tech savvy or just had bad internet speeds cause I haven't had any problems at all! (Knock on wood!) Now, I did just recently buy 2 rechargeable remotes cause I just got sick of dead batteries every other week so not only do I have the remote controls that have the headphone jack but I have the ones that came with this which even has a back lit feature so I'm using them both. They definitely keep a good charge. I can use it for days and the battery barely drains and I use them a lot. If you're used to Roku devices they are very easy to set up once you have an account. Once you sign in all your apps sync to the device. A lot of the apps don't even need to be signed in except for a very few but with easy to use QR codes it doesn't take long to sign in. I did compare the speeds between the Roku Express and this one and I do see a slight difference. The processor is a bit faster. With the improved speeds and quality sound and clearer picture I believe it was worth the price but that's only cause I had some extra money. You honestly don't need to upgrade if you're older Roku is still doing the job and still has the latest software updates. I've had my Express devices since 2021-2022 and they still never failed me but I still have a few in other rooms. Also, I might add that the Roku boxes do come with ethernet slot and a USB port and on the side of the box it has a button to press when you're unable to find your remote control. I never lose mine but I did test it and they all went off so if you have different types of Roku remotes that you use they will all go off. It's pretty loud so you definitely will hear the alert. A few ppl griped about the ads on the home screen but I barely notice them so that wasn't a deal breaker for me. There are a lot of free apps and channels but also if you like premium apps they are easy to find. If I do come across any issues I will come back and do another update. Btw, this is an update for the 2024 Ultra not the earlier version just so no one gets it confused. I'm coming back after a few weeks of owning these and honestly I think the sound was better on the roku express 4k but that may be cause my soundbar is a few yrs old and my TV may not support Dolby also the closed captioning on every app doesn't work like it should unless you FF or rewind I've also had issues where if I don't get done watching a show and come back to it later I'm stuck FF over it cause it's at the beginning again. I called roku about these issues and they said they're aware of the issues. Idk if I should take both back? I spent $80 on each when the roku express had no issues. I only got them cause I figured after having them for close to 4-5 yrs I thought I would upgrade. Coming back for a 3rd time to review and I decided to keep both. There were a few fixes but there's still a few bugs they need to iron out but it's not a deal breaker. If I were to go back and do it all over again I would have never spent $80 a piece on them. That's nuts! You can get way cheaper rokus for way less than half that but you live and learn. Still a stellar picture tho.

I love the new Roku Ultra. We use Roku devices exclusively in our house, and they’ve been our go-to streaming platform for years. One of our older Ultras finally gave out earlier last year, so we replaced it with this newer model and I’m really glad we did. One feature I didn’t realize I’d appreciate as much as I do is the Bluetooth capability. With this version, you can connect directly to a Bluetooth speaker. After discovering that, I ended up buying another new Ultra for my office. My TV is across the room, and when I’m sitting at my desk instead of directly in front of it, I can connect the Roku to a Bluetooth “smart clock” speaker on my desk. It’s such a small convenience, but it genuinely makes a difference in day-to-day use. Using Bluetooth further you can connect it into Bluetooth speakers that give you good quality sound if you're also using this to stream music at any point. Performance has been exactly what I expect from Roku: fast, stable and easy to use. The interface is familiar, apps load quickly and it just works. If I had one minor complaint, it would be the amount of advertising baked into the interface. I do wish they would tone that down a bit. At the same time, I understand that it’s part of how they keep the hardware competitively priced. Overall, though, it’s another solid product from Roku. Reliable, feature-packed, and a great upgrade if you’re already in their ecosystem like we are. I like that they haven't changed the form factor on these as we have a wall mount that this sits in and so it was interchangeable from the old Roku thankfully.

Just left my cable provider and thought I would try the Roku. I'm in my 60s and was unfamiliar with streaming. I tried an android 14 based streaming device and became overly frustrated with it. After looking at a number and types of streaming devices, ended up buying both the Roku Ultra and Ultra LT for two different TVs. I chose the ultra because of the ethernet capability. My house is wired with 2g internet and also has Deco 2g mesh wifi throughout. Ethernet is just faster. The Ultras are very similar with the Ultra LT being the Ultra lite version. LT is lacking a USB port and remote finder and comes with the standard voice remote with earphones that plug into the remote. The Ultra has bluetooth capability for earbuds and the plus remote also lights up, but requires charging. Both units function exactly the same and are lightning fast. Set up was super easy, especially after the first Roku account was created. The system walkes you right through everything and the menus are well categorized and defined. Both Ultra and Ultra LT come with Roku's free channel and free live TV. I paid big bucks for my cable just to have the Motortrend channel. Roku's Live TV has Motortrend Live TV for free and Power Nation! Everything I was paying for with my cable premium package is available here for free. Everything and more! And both are extremely easy to use. The home menu is well laid out and provides quick access to last watched channels. Favorite channels for live tv are easy to program. My only complaint is that both the Ultra and Ultra LT come with a stand-by light that remains on. The unit don't turn off, nor does the light. The two TVs I have these hooked to are in bedrooms so I have to block the light at night. Not that the lights are bright, but bright enough to be annoying. While various internet searches suggest the light can be turned off, the system settings on both the Ultra and Ultra LT do not provide any means to change. Other than that, I love these things. The LT is such a great bargain while the Ultra seems a bit pricy for a few convenience upgrades.

Received item fast with Amazon Prime. Setup was pretty easy, although I did have to restart the installation when the remote would not respond. I simply removed the poser cord and reconnted it. After that setup completed normally. The device is super fast and full of all kinds of apps. The remote paired to my tv easily for power on and sound. The hands free feature is not wuite there yet. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Not a big deal for me. Otherwise, the product works exactly as advertised and I would recommend this device.

Got this because my TV was cut off from the internet. Couldn't be updated. Satisfied with this system and offers more channels. Illuminated remote is great. Wasn't too sure about self charging but it works fine and blinks when it needs to be recharged. I have used the feature when you lose it and it beeps so you can find it.

This box was exactly what I needed. My TV is old, and the streaming stick I was using previously was also old and tired. Decided to move to a device over another streaming stick for a few reasons, with the biggest being responsiveness. Right out the gate this thing is snappy. Real quick response times, no signs of noticeable buffering (though I can only watch 1080p with the current TV). It's also extremely easy to set up and get going right out of the box. The UX on their setup is top notch, in my opinion. There are a lot of 3rd party applications through the storefront, but Roku also offers their own flavor of channels so there's no shortage of things to watch. You get your standard selection of things like Netflix, Hulu, Prime, but there's also free platforms like Tubi and Pluto. The Roku channels I haven't checked out much, but there was a new one that popped up on my homescreen called 'Roku Yeehaw!' ? No idea, there. There's also options to connect it wirelessly to a home NAS/PLEX setup, I think, with their options for Photo Library and (I think, not 100% sure since I removed the app) Video Player. You'd have to do some research on that if that's what you're aiming for. I'm honestly not sure on the remote's battery life, as I only watch for an hour or two most evenings and charge it bi-weekly, but it seems to hold a charge fine and could definitely go longer between charges than I plug it in. However, I do have the voice/microphone feature turned off so that probably saves some battery life, and once I'm watching something I don't fidget with the remote to keep the backlight on. The only issue I really have are the volume buttons on the Roku remote. It doesn't always register a press on those buttons, but it does work, in general, when you sync the remote with your TV. The size of the streaming device is perfect; it's a small square that isn't very high. Small enough to fit under the lower edge of your screen or, in my case, attach it to the back of the TV to reduce wire clutter with some velcro tape. I'm not sure how hot the device gets, but the tape has held so far with minimal viewing each night. There's no active cooling, so I imagine it does get warm. Overall, I don't think you can go wrong with this if you have multiple streaming subscriptions. I don't know if the MSRP is wholly worth it when there are so many other devices we have in our lives that stream, but it is a solid little device to plug into the TV. I would just wait for a Prime Day sale to give it better value for what you're spending.

I had a Roku stick 10 years ago and it was painfully sluggish. It was almost impossible to navigate it was so slow so I didn't use it. I got an Apple TV 4k when they came out in 2020 and it runs a lot better. I started using Philo because of the price and how their live TV lineup feels the most like the cable experience but it constantly buffers on Apple TV. Something about Philo doesn't play nice on Apple TV and I got tired of dealing with it. So I bought the best Roku Ultra box on Amazon and Philo runs perfect on it. The system is easy to navigate and it runs smoothly. No trouble with Philo buffering at all. I can still get Apple TV + if I want it but Philo is the only streaming service that I pay for, other than the Amazon Prime that comes with my shopping membership. I highly recommend this box.

Love my Roku Ultra. I have an older Sony Google TV in my bedroom that no longer supports ANY of the apps that were factory installed on it! What a rip! I can sideload apps , but that's not convenient. So, I bought a Roku Ultra. It is loaded with tons of apps, including lots of both free and subscription apps, which turns my old TV into a 'smart" TV. With it, I installed the Xfinity app, so I can watch my cable without paying for an extra box. The remote control is USB type "C" rechargeable, lights up while in use, and has a microphone. Great streaming player with a great, simple to use, remote. Worth every penny of the price!!!

This is a fast streamer, which had a few good bells and whistles too. If you are based in the UK, as I am, then this particular syreamer does not support the following apps: U, My 5, BBC iPlayer and Channel 4. ITV X is supported along with STV. All other major platforms work too, this includes Now TV. If you require a streamer which supports all of the UK platforms, then you would be wise to look elsewhere. But if the lack of support for the vast majority of the UK streaming platforms is not important to you, then this streamer will not disappoint. Update: As of January 2026, Both Channel 4 and Channel 5 streaming apps now work on this device. This may have something to do with the 15.1 update. However, BBC iPlayer and U still don't work

تاجر غير امين بعت موديل اقدم وغير مطابق للمواصفات المعروضة I was sent the cheaper Ultra LT, not the Ultra model.

Estoy feliz con mi nuevo Roku Es mucho más sofisticado.. Mi TV es plana, pero de las antiguas.. marca Sony de 46 pulgadas Y en comparación con el Roku, que tuve con antelación, este nuevo superó mis expectativas. Reitero mi felicidad…

Both Disney+ and Prime Video are not installed and cannot be installed. The remote has the dedicated buttons and the box shows the picture so it should have it. I have researched extensively and tried every solution available but nothing worked. Also the system does not have a search function. I dont recommend

La mejor versión de ROKU. Es Ultra rápido, Ultra fácil de usar, todo Ultra. El control remoto con Control por Voz es una maravilla. Y consume muy poca electricidad en general.
