Roku – Absolutely The Best Streaming Device – Ever – Bar None!!!!
Whoop-De-Doo For Roku! Yahoo!Sorry. So happy to have received my Ultra recently. And now I can see Yellowstone Season 4 after the Season 3 cliffhager, when CBS literally left it’s viewers hanging. But I digress.Rokus really are the best streaming devices on the planet. If you have never owned one of these, I highly recommend them. And by all means, get the Ultra – With A USB Port! It supports more advenced media formats like 265HEVC, and others You may find interesting content on the internet that you can download and put on a USB stick to play on your TV (hint, hint).Back in 2016 I bought some Roku3’s so I could finally tell the cable company where they could get off. Christ! I guess I have saved more than $50 per month in that time. You still need internet to use Roku devices, but then who does not have that these days?A few things I like about the Ultra:- The rechargeable remote with voice commands, and a Lost Remote Finder feature.However the voice recognition is not all that great.- The Ultra also works with an RCA universal remote, that I prefer to use anyway.You can order one of those from Amazon: “RCA RCRBB04GR 4-Device Big-Button Universal Remote Control”,ASIN: B00CXDIPVSOnly two things I do not necessarily care for, but not enough to change the rating:- The white light on the device stays On, even after the device has turned Off after its idle period.On the Roku3s this light goes Out. In that way I would know if I was not unintentionally streaming anything.- The USB port is moved to the back, which can make it a difficult to line up and insert a USB stick.Update: 5 May 2025I have had this device for at least two weeks. This morning after streaming some news, I “parked” the device on the home screen, switched back to my TV and turned it off. The Ultra white light went Out. When I turned my TV On the Ultra light turned On. I don’t know what changed, a software update or what. I checked all the settings. I do like this a lot better than having the Ultra light remain on. However, the Ultra light goes Out even if something is streaming. So it is not a reliable indicator that the Ultra is idle.Update #2: 17 May 2025I did not have all my info correct about the Ultra White Light (UWL). I later observed that after the UWL goes out, it later turnes back on again. And the last sentence about the “UWL going out if something is streaming” – I don’t remember why I wrote that, but I don’t think that is correct – unless it goes out when the TV is turned off while something is streaming. Regardless, the UWL turns back on at some point. So again, it is not a reliable indicator that the Ultra is idle. Perhaps Roku can fix that with a software update.

The main reason for me to buy this is to make my old tv as smart that run an iptv service but unfortunately it does not and its not android platform

It was working fine for a few days, then it went down. It’s broken, nothing on screen. I tried different cables, different HDMI ports, even a different TV – nothing, It gets power as the front light is lid.I tried to ‘reset’ it but the light does not flick as indicated in the ‘reset instructions’.I can still return it but too much IDs/passwords in there, I may take the hit with the loss.Update: I found a solution, I ‘unlik’ the device from my Roku account, nothing can be accessed now. I returned it and got my money back.

Amazon prime video not available, tried many times… resetting many times the device but no use.
