   Excellent remote. I’ve used the Roku Ultra for years, and just upgraded after my Roku Ultra 2020 model somehow lost the voice command capability.The new Roku Ultra is more sophisticated, in that it immediately checked and validated that I have 4K capability throughout my system – my cables, my receiver, and my TV. Also, the 4K video comes through beautifully, even though I use a Wi-Fi rather than wired connection. When playing music videos on YouTube, the sound is great.Another improvement that I like is that the remote is rechargeable. The charge last for weeks and weeks, and the remote recharges very quickly.I also appreciate its durability. I’ve dropped this new remote on my tile floor probably 5 or 6 times, and it keeps on working.It has the usual minor annoyances, such as lots of junk on the Home screen. Plus they set up the default for the microphone to be listening all of the time. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t want a microphone listening to everything my wife and I say 100% of the time. So I switched it off. But these things can be fixed very quickly.The only improvement I’d recommend is to program the device so that you can adjust the volume through the receiver, not just TVs. My setup adjusts the volume through my Yamaha receiver, not the TV. There aren’t that many receiver manufacturers on the market, and it shouldn’t be that difficult to program the Roku Ultra (maybe with a software update?) so that the Roku can send a signal to my receiver to adjust the volume.But these things are minor stuff. The bottom line is that I love this little remote. If you want an excellent remote for streaming, look no further! Get this remote!

   He tenido el privilegio de tener 4 de diferentes modelos; el ultra (2018), la barra chica, la barra pro y ahora el ultra 2022.Sin queja de ningún modeló, estan brutal.No puedo compararlo con otros reproductores porqué no he probado otras marcas; desde que conoci Roku me encanto por ser intuitivo (facil de usar) y super fluido.En mi caso adquirí el 2022 por los formatos que soporta: HDR10+ y Dolby Vision/Atmos; con éste, logre explotar la capacidad de mi pantalla en el formaro que más utilizo mkv.La única función que no trae, es la de poder instalar de forma nativa algun navegador o app que cumpla con ése propósito. Aunque se puede suplir de otras formas, es algo que pueden mejorar los desarroladores.Por ahí leí algún comentario donde critican la calidad de los materiales del control remoto… De las versiones que he tenido, no tengo ninguna queja, como mencioné arriba, es muy intuitivo (por lo que el control se ve muy simple, muy básico) a pesar de eso en mi experiencia todo el kit: decodificador, accesorios: cables, audífonos, y el control remoto son de alta calidad y cumplen con el propósito perfecto.Nunca me han fallado, cambio de equipos por actualización y heredo los reemplazados.100% Recomendado.

   Good Upgrade. My last unit was a Roku 3 I think I bought around 2011/2012? It has been freezing and being annoying for the last 6 mos. Been having to restart it a couple times a day. However, I was loath to buy a new unit since my TV is an older Samsung smart TV, so no 4K or newer technology anyway. Well, I got too tired of having to mess with the Roku 3 so ordered the Roku Ultra (Not the LT). I have to say I’m quite glad I did. 1) the setup was very fast and easy. Plug it in, it found my wify, I entered authentication and ran through a few questions about what kinds of apps/features I wanted. 2) WiFi range is so much better. I have this TV in an upper room, where the signal isn’t the strongest. This new Roku has a much better range and the thru put from my router seems much better and all apps load fast. 3) This unit even found my Plex server right away. All I had to do was enter my authentication. 4) Most of the apps I use allowed for using QR code to login so easy peasy. I think I spent maybe 30 minutes from opening the box until everything was up and running again.The included remote is so much better than the old one. I turned off the auto listening button for voice remote and just use the Listen button when I do want to use Voice. This will save battery life. The rest of the features I can’t really use until I’m ready to upgrade my TV since I can’t connect Roku to my old soundbar system (no HDMI-CEC) so still have to use the separate soundbar remote. BUT the headphone jack is nice to have and works well. Also I really love that the Power button turns off both my TV and the Roku unit. My old Roku was always on. So far it looks like the rechargeable remote lasts awhile and recharge is simple. You can keep using the remote when it’s charging, so no down time.

   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.
