Roku Ultra 2024 | The Ultimate Streaming Player - 4K Streaming Device for TV with HDR10+, Dolby Vision & Atmos - Bluetooth & Wi-Fi 6- Rechargeable Voice Remote Pro - Free & Live TV

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

Excellent, straightforward and quick to set up, I really like the Roku menu system, easy and intuitive to use, the hardware is great with a fast processor and premium remote.

Would be 5 but came with an American plug, weird! Had to buy an adapter!!

This is a great improvement on my previous Roku. However buyers should be aware that it doesn't work with BBC iPlayer. This is wholly down to the BBC limiting access to devices 'sold in the UK'. Even though I bought the device here it is somehow not on the approved list. Other than that it's great. Much faster than previously and I like the ability to control the TV volume from the Roku remote. There's also voice control.

I am sure that this Roku is a excellant product, but what was sent can not be used in the UK, it has a US adaptor,so can not be powered up,, shame really as all of my other Roku gear is great,

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.

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.

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

Muy facil de instalar, la entrada LAN me sirvio perfectamente con muy buena señal, los videos e imagenes con muy buena calidad, cumple con las aplicaciones que necesito, muy recomendable!

After using streaming sticks for many years, with the amount of use they got we decided to upgrade to a more premium version when we started having problems with our last one. When I did a bit of product research I was surprised to find that a Roku device came more recommended than a Fire TV or Apple device, as Roku was not a brand that I mentally associated with product quality, but I decided to try it out anyway and I'm very impressed. I can't say how it performs as compared to other devices in this size and price range, but the performance difference between the Roku Ultra and our old streaming stick is quite significant. I do think that the position our TV is in is a bit rough on the sticks, as in plugging directly into the TV they have to be in a space that is both poorly ventilated and still exposed to harsh desert sunlight. The less compact design is therefore actually a benefit in our case, as the cord lets us set it in front of the TV where it's both exposed to less heat and sunlight, and given a less obstructed wifi signal. I know this could be done for a stick with an extender, but having to deal with that does take away a bit from a stick's appeal both as a dirt cheap option and as a minimal setup plug and play device, whereas with a larger set top box style device it's expected. Aside from performance, the user experience is a bit better in general, navigation is easier and the UI is more attractive and less peppered with ads. As best I can tell all major streaming services support both Roku and Fire TV, so other than the unavoidable process of having to log into everything on a new device, there were no issues picking up right where we left off on our previous device. I think I would still recommend a cheap stick device for people who only stream on their TV occasionally and want something quick and easy, but with the amount of use ours gets, I think paying extra for a device with better performance was a great investment. It's undergone heavy use in the month since we bought it and we've had zero issues with it in that time. Playback is smooth, loading is fast, there's no hanging or freezing, and the remote connected very easy to the TV. The only issue we've had at all is with volume getting stuck in place on a bluetooth speaker, and I'm not sure if that's the fault of the Roku or the speaker, not to mention that bluetooth tends not to be the most reliable technology in the first place, but the way the Roku handles volume management might make it somewhat more prone to this sort of issue than a Fire TV Stick. That very minor issue aside, the Roku Ultra works impressively well and in my opinion is more than worth it if you stream video frequently and your TV doesn't have the function built-in. For the price (100 dollars at time of review) it feels like a very premium and well-made product, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade from the a streaming stick to something nicer.
