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

I had a lot of problem setting it up I could not get the remote to pair but got there eventually after calming myself down I downloaded the roku app and added more apps to the streaming.box and used my HBO account to watch champions league aston villa match once you get over the set up it is amazing I love it

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.

This is a great streaming device. However, it isn't certified by the BBC for use in the UK - you'll be able to download the BBC iPlayer app but you won't be able to use. All other UK TV channel apps work without issue!

This is a grey import not designed for the uk market. Does not support the BBC iplayer. Disappointed.

A very capable device but - whilst catch up TV : itvX, My5, 4 all work iPlayer DOES NOT work on this device. I am a UK based BBC license payer but the BBC has decided not to support this device and have technically somehow stopped the iPlayer app working on it. Shame because I wanted this unit owing to its powerful processor and it being equipped with an Ethernet connection.

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.

It was delivered with a American plug which isn't much use in the UK, so returned to Amazon. Shame really as I'd read good things about it and was looking forward to trying it out.

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!

First off, I want to say that this Roku Ultra is fast, and has fantastic picture quality, and I am now very happy with it. Now the negatives. When you get it the first thing you will do is look for a manual. None, only a quick start guide with four steps on it. I have an older Vizio 60" smart tv that still works beautifully, and I have always thought it had a great picture. I also have an outside over the air antenna hooked up to my tv for local channels. I hooked the Roku up to an HDMI port and started. It came on in German so I couldn't get to the on-screen set-up. I could not find a way to set it to English and in order to get to settings where you can change the language you have to be well into the set-up process and have a Roku account set up, again well into the set-up process, here is where a manual would be helpful and only the beginning. I couldn't get the remote to pair with the device, and according to the quick start guide you hold down the home button and the back arrow for 5 seconds and it shows on the guide the white light on the remote flashing and then solid white, when done mine would flash and then go out. I contacted Roku and told them the issue, and they directed to their website where I could get the manual. I went there, and what they had was the same worthless quick start guide that came in the box, no help. Finally, after trying to pair for over an hour I found that if you release the two buttons while the white light on the remote is flashing, not solid as they show in the guide it paired. At that point I was still in German on screen and couldn't get to settings. I downloaded the Roku mobile app to my iPhone and was able to set up a Roku account which gave me access to settings. Without the mobile app and only my tv I would have been stuck at start in German. From that point I was able to go to settings and change to English and complete the set-up process. It is worth noting that during set-up, on screen the Roku told me that if my tv was capable and had the HDMI input rated at 4K, 1080p, 60fps I could get even better picture quality because I was currently hooked up to an HDMI port rated at 4K, 1080p, 30fps. I pulled the tv out from the wall and I did indeed have that higher resolution and frame rate port, so I plugged into it. In all of the years that I have had the tv I did not know I had that HDMI port. Kudos to Roku for pointing that out. I was on a roll and the rest of the set-up went relatively well. I had assumed that this Roku Ultra had the ability to toggle between the device and the external antenna connected to my tv for my local over air channels, it does not. I need to access my local over the air channels. I though no problem, if I can't switch to antenna tv from it I will go back to my actual tv remote, select inputs, and antenna should be there, it wasn't, stuck again. I need to receive my local channels also. I got on the internet, YouTube and countless forums to find a solution, but the only solution was to add a dvr, Tablo or other such device that is capable of switching between the Roku, and antenna that would be connected to it, and it connected to the tv. I am disabled from the Marine Corps on a fixed income and can't afford to purchase another unit just to be able to switch to my antenna for local channels. Out of frustration as a last resort I went to Co-pilot, the Edge browsers AI. I was amazed at how helpful it was, and, in the future, it will be my first stop when a problem arises. The troubleshooting began I told Co-pilot that there had to be a simple way to switch between the Roku and the antenna. The normal solution would be and should be that antenna tv would be accessed from the inputs button on my tv remote, but for some reason it was not there, only the HDMI ports. I tried re-scanning my local channels on my tv, still no input to select on tv for antenna. As I was getting ready to pack up the Roku to send back, shortly after re-scanning my local channels on my tv, an input on the tv came up not as antenna, but as one of my local channels. I selected that input and it took me that channel. From there I am able to use the channel up and down button on my tv remote to go to my other local channels. All is good as long as that input stays in my list of available inputs. I want to say that the reason that I purchased the Roku, because I have a smart tv with built in apps that worked perfectly fine, is that about a week ago I went to the YouTube app on my tv and an on-screen notification popped up that said, Yahoo provides the platform and updates for apps on the smart tv's and as of October of 2025 will no longer provide the platform. They have already eliminated all but 5 apps. The newer tv's almost all have Roku built in, which would be the ultimate solution, but I can't afford to buy a new tv. I always experienced time lags when selecting an onboard app on my tv including buffering at the beginning of videos when I did get there, even with 1=gig fiber optic internet and a direct ethernet hook-up to my tv. This is not the case with the Roku Ultra. It is fast and the picture quality is fantastic. I love the Roku and what it provides but I am disgusted by the lack of documentation and the lack of help from Roku customer service. In total I spent over 5 hours on hooking it up and my frustration level was through the roof. Now that it is done, I wish that I had this years ago, not because of its huge selection of things to watch, but because of the quality of the picture and over all speed. If my body and health hang in there a little longer, and I can eventually afford it I will get a new tv with Roku built in. With injuries sustained and my health I am pretty much homebound and my tv is my only entertainment. I know that this is a lengthy review, but I hope that this helps someone who may be having similar problems hooking it up. The bottom line, 5-stars for the unit itself, and 1-star for the lack of documentation and help from Roku.

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

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.
