Roku Ultra 2022 4K/HDR/Dolby Vision Streaming Device and Roku Voice Remote Pro with Rechargeable Battery, Hands-Free Voice Controls, Lost Remote Finder, and Private Listening

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

I tried this piece of *hit even after knowing that it is non returnable. It is useless in all respects for Indian users. No Indian channels like Voot etc. No google play store. No SEARCH facility for Channels. Its Dolby Sound for general audio like Youtube is also worst. It doesn’t work for me in all respects. Regret buying.

This uses Roku's own proprietary OS and is useless in India because it only suppprts a limited number of streaming services.

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.

With all the "short cycle" expectations of the electronics industry, the software outgrows the chips on higher end electronics before the expected end of life of the electronics. In our case, the TV still works beautifully, and can display the 4k material that is available - as planned - but the built in streaming chips can no longer be updated with the new streaming software sooo, glitches, cutouts, failure to load.... To extend the life of our current entertainment electronics we needed a new streaming chip. This fits the bill perfectly! The price is right, it connected easily to our existing system and provides a new chip to do the streaming function. The software for the install worked easily, and we were up and running again. It has the voice recognition stuff included, but we find that more trouble than functional - voice recognition is not quite there yet, it misunderstands too often, so we have disabled it for now - since we didn't use it before, we don't consider that an issue, but if that is important to you, you will need to test it out. We also have 1 minor criticism - the remote is all smooth and curves, which is a very pretty design, but it slips and slides in the hand resulting in unintentional button pressing while trying to pick it up - often interrupting the program or muting the sound when we just wanted to adjust the sound up or down - this is in part due to the sound buttons being on the sides of the remote. Cute, but not functional. Also, with the programming for this remote, it has each subscription defined to use different buttons for the simple functions so you have to stop and think which subscription (am I in Netflix, Amazon, or Roku....) you are using before you can navigate the screen. Not a deal breaker, but this could have been done better. Very happy with this system, and pleasantly surprised at the additional material offered by Roku! We will buy an updated version of this when THIS chip is exceeded by the software. Ok, back for an additional comment. We have been using this 6 months, and only 1 issue. the Roku overheated the day the air conditioning was on the fritz. This is not uncommon with many very small models of an electronic form. If it gets too hot, it malfunctions in a weird ways. If it isn't working for no apparent reason and feels warm, try disconnecting and letting it cool down for 20-30 minutes before panicking. We now keep ours on a small baking rack to allow air circulation - end of problem. Others on the tech network have suggested a small air circulating fan, especially if located near other heat generating electronics. This is not a major issue for us, but it is good to know when planning location (no completely enclosed spaces that have no air circulation) and for troubleshooting - before you go buy new cables, pitch it, or other drastic measures.

La neta tiene much afruides y se nota la diferencia de imagen el contro con muchas funciones y tiene blutu el aparato neta vale la pena

We have a high end Denon receiver and a surround sound set of Klipsch speakers. We get our entertainment streamed through Starlink, viewed on a very large Sony 4K Bravia which runs on Google Chromecast. We get no OTA broadcast signal here so depend on our Internet connection for that. These are all connected through ethernet cables or HDMI cables (we do not use the wireless for the entertainment center). So why did we get the Roku Ultra? Read on.. Our setup worked pretty well except for two things. The major one was that when streaming Amazon Prime Video it took a long time to connect. If we paused the feed more then a few seconds it would basically lose the connection and we would have to go through it again. Error messages would come up and we would just wait for them to clear to get to the next error message, and after a minute or three it would finally connect. The streaming quality was good but we could visually see that would occasionally drop down in resolution quality. Some research found others having the same or similar problems so we decided to try the Roku Ultra 2022. The instructions are simple and the initial setup was painless. The voice remote even allows you to 'say' the letters when doing a search and is very accurate and WAY FASTER than 'typing' on a screen keyboard. We even created a new Roku ID and password in no time by 'spelling into the remote.' The Roku website has detailed help files when it comes to setup and use, the included instructions gloss over the the use of the HDMI output of the box, but it is always recommended to connect devices by cable and not through a wifi if possible. We did just that. The remote is rechargeable by USB and the Ultra unit has a USB port on the back and they include the USB cable. Although we needed and purchased a longer high-speed HDMI cable, the Roku Ultra 2022 does come with one. Not only did the Roku Ultra 2022 end the waiting game with Amazon Prime Streaming it also supplied a superior image and steadily so. On a cooking series we had been watching my wife even commented, "I did not know the cute red-head girl had freckles!" That first night we watched for about three hours and I never saw the screen image drop to a lower resolution. Some complain about the basic remote, but that is not a factor in my opinion- just have two remotes by the side of the couch if need be. Have we become so spoiled that having to use two remotes is such a chore? If you have the sorts of issues I mentioned (slow response, low resolution, etc.) try the Roku Ultra 2022. if you don't like it Amazon's return policy makes it easy to say, 'No thanks.'

I would've given this product 5 stars if not for the remote and not being able to install vpn. I would like the placement of the back, play and forward buttons to be closer to the navigation keys (cross-shaped button with OK in the middle). The buttons being rubber also feels like a toy and the volume button is not responsive at times. The bottom is also round so it flips from side to side while it lays on the table and I try to push buttons with one finger (eg. while I eat and watch at the same time). It would also be great if I can install vpn as an app on roku device itself so I can enable/disable the vpn as needed. I also don't like installing vpn on my router as I connect other devices to it which I don't like to use vpn with.
