    I actually prefer dedicated devices such as this as it allows easy upgrade from older models.
    Smart TVs are a worse upgrade as you are stuck with it longer 😢

    @DerekEvans1013 3 дня назад +8

    I see what your problem was with the voice commands. It says that your battery level is at 0% and then immediately after says it's unable to receive audio from your remote. That's because the battery is almost dead. Charge the battery lol!

  • @ThraxMan84
    @ThraxMan84 3 дня назад +6

    @Luke, I would actually prefer a remote without presets. I generally don't use the services they were meant for and don't want to mistakenly launch one of them.

    • @CordCuttersNews
      @CordCuttersNews  3 дня назад +5

      People pay for those presets they help keep the costs of the Roku down.

    • @Spokenfan
      @Spokenfan 2 дня назад +3

      I totally agree 👏🏼. It would be nice though on the presets if they were stickers that could be removed. And the buttons reprogrammed to open Pluto, Amazon, Movies anywhere, or Philo. And you could make your own stickers for the buttons. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸🦬

    • @richardvacanti9428

      Yes, but a lot of people use those services more than that like Netflix and Hulu or whatever so they are a nice convenience. I know not for you but to eat his own.

    I still have the Roku Ultra LT from a couple of years ago when Walmart sold them fir $30 on a Black Friday. It works great! I actually have the original Roku Pro rechargeable remote. I might consider the new Roku Ultra 2024 in the future especially if it goes on sale later this year.

    Doesn’t Wi-Fi six only improve the speed in a more limited area and does not actually give better coverage? Similar to 2.4 versus 5

    You say that the Ethernet port is capped at 100 down. Question is if I hook up via WiFi 6, would I get faster than 100 down? My home WiFi is way faster than 100.

    • @jebo4jc
      @jebo4jc 2 дня назад

      Yes. Assuming you get a good signal, wifi6 can be a lot faster than 100 mbps

    I have two Roku ultras that are lessed then two years old, I have them for Dolby vision/Atmos use and they do what they do. I'm wondering if I'd see a noticeable difference with getting a new one. I also have a Nvidia shield pro and the apple TV 4k and they all do something a little different but I always go back to the Roku because of the audio past though. Recently Disney plus just enhanced the DTS:X for the IMAX enhanced but my Roku ultra does not seem to be decoding it, if the new release will decode DTS:X IMAX enhanced I'll have one by weeks end.

    • @andystegner

      They say 30% faster than the previous version which probably in the real world means 15% so my guess is you would never know the difference

    Had to stop the video and check the date. Thought I got hold of an old video. Your opening comments call the updated device a Roku Ultra 2014. Threw me for a loop until I realized it was just a verbal 'typo.' Otherwise, good review and thanks for the info. 🤣

    Two very disappointing features: it uses A.I./machine learning, which a majority of the world absolutely hates. The ethernet connection is still capped off at 100 mbps. These two problems alone are very disconcerting and frustrating.

  • @BigRonRN18

    Does this finally support 1 Gbps Ethernet? My 2020 Roku Ultra only supports 100 Mbps. This makes a difference when attempting to stream an Ultra-HD Blu-Ray, as the streaming video is often ~125 Mbps. This would be no big deal if it supported 1 Gbps but it fails when limited to 100 Mbps.

    My newest roku is already internally installed in my new tv & so far, so good. But I do have a question about the roku stick. I have 2 tvs with them & recently both roku sticks stopped working. I've had the sticks for about 5+ years. They won't even open to the home screen at all. s there anything I can do for them to work again? Or are both roku sticks dead for good?

    When you watch Prime and there are previews, the roku takes quite a while to catchup. So I need gigabit internet. On my apple TV device with gigabit ethernet I get no waiting for those previews. 10/100 is just to slow these days.I have wired internet though out my home.

    The Roku Ultra 2024 without a doubt has at least as much storage as the Roku Ultra 2020. you shouldn't have to reload the apps more than once unless they are updating
    you should find out.

  • @ksaboda

    I literally ordered the 2022 ultra like the day before the 2024 model was released 🤦‍♂️. I had no idea they were about to release a new version. The trade off for me, why I’m not returning it for the new model is the new model dropped the headphone jack on the remote.
