The setup was simple, the settings and controls are user friendly. I think anyone could learn Roku quickly. I bet there are a thousand shows to watch at any given time! You can be up and running in a matter of minutes. It easily installed on the tv, updated and was ready to go. It is absolutely everything now I've had time to get used to it and away from cable.
The remote is the super remote with a lost finder signal, on/off which controls the tv, volume up and down and mute on the right side. It also has headphone jack and headphones on the left side so you can watch silently while someone is doing something else in the room. High quality and heavy feel in the hand so it isn’t flimsy cheap feeling at all. Buttons are super responsive. There is a voice control too so you don’t have to search with the remote spelling out words! YAY. The remote also contains a back button which is really helpful and a options button to see if any options are available for that particular channel. There is a pause in the center of the navigation arrows. The remote also has a rewind, fast forward and end button to take you through a movie quickly if you want to rewatch a scene. Finally this remote will also pair with other Roku TV’s! The Ultra and remote are super portable if you want to take them with you also. Plug and Play!
Every movement on the remote is smooth as can be. The remote has a preset of Netflix, Sling, Disney and Hulu. I wish it had no presets but just programmable buttons but it isn’t a game changer for sure since I have both Netflix and Hulu. There are two programmable buttons, however to put your favorite channels on. There is a home button to easily return to Roku. There are free screen savers and nice themes with sounds. I haven’t paid for any channels on Roku at all.
I love how you can interface the website with the TV making adding streaming services easy on any device and it transmits to the TV.
I’ve had to factory reset my TV and there was Roku, waiting for me as I left it with the same settings and channels. You can set it up so your favorite channels are up top on the feed.
I am getting excellent picture quality and fast responsive movement and streaming.
I like to go to the Roku site online to add my channels, however, you can add them on any device with the Roku app or right there on the Roku Ultra.
I purchased an antenna for the TV and it scanned for local channels and found quite a few. This way I can switch over in inclimate weather or for local news.
Another cool feature of the Roku phone/device app which pairs up with your Ultra, is that you can use it also as a remote if you like, changing channels and most all of the features of the actual remote on your phone or device. This thing does it all. You do need it so get it right away. I will never get another streaming device except Roku after this experience.
