Good deal for now but reviews on the antenna suck. I'm gonna wait til it is 69.99 or lower for just the roku ultra. But good post OP.

Does the Ultra ever get that cheap? Black Friday?

Agreed, the antenna is poorly rated on most sites and literally all of the reviews on Lowes (where it sells for $15) start off with "This review was collected as part of a promotion". If you're in the market for an antenna, this is a pretty good deal when combined with the Roku (you're saving about $35), if you're just after a Roku, I'd wait till Black Friday.

It was $68 last year but has been as low as $49 in previous years. As with anything this close to Black Friday, it's hard knowing whether its worth jumping on a deal or waiting especially with things like Roku's.

Yes. If you're lucky u can get it for 59.99. But it's usually always on sale for the 69.99 every year. Target, Walmart Best Buy etc.

There's not many deals on the Ultra... now and then there's a sale for the LT.
BF and Cyber Monday is your best bet.
*Even though both have gone downhill over the years.

I've got several Rokus, the latest is the Roku Ultra 2020. Model # 4800R

Here's the description:
"Roku Ultra | Streaming Device HD/4K/HDR/Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos, Bluetooth Streaming, and Roku Voice Remote with Headphone Jack and Personal Shortcuts, includes Premium HDMI® Cable"

The biggest issue I have is it's inability to play Plex x265 encoded videos The issues are oversaturated video and frequent buffering.

Unless this one has resolved the issue I can't see any reason to upgrade. Anyone know which version this is and if the problem is fixed?

I moved from Plex to Jellyfin for this very reason and have never had an issue since! While I know Jellyfin isn't for everyone, after trying Plex and Emby, it was the better solution for me.

Interesting, I understood the issue to be Roku related not Plex...

Keep griping to Roku that you lost your remote and there customer service will send you a free replacement, just probably not on the first call to their customer service. Their number starts with 816 can't remember the rest. Make sure and give them the right model number to your Roku device. That's what I did when I moved and lost mine. Good luck to you!

I can confirm hevc works a dream with JF + Roku ultra. I wasn't expecting it to support it natively but it was a nice surprise. That said, you'll be trading one problem with another problem since JF has some stability issues

I use Roku for Plex and had the oversaturating issue on some x265 encodes when the TV didn't support HDR. The workaround at the time was to have the server transcode, which could be an issue for some as their servers can't handle multiple transcoding streams. I believe the issue is the Plex app on Roku. So, it is Roku related, but mainly the Plex app on Roku. Jellyfin should be able to fix this, but like stated, it is not for everyone and has some issues itself.

If you still have an issue on a TV with HDR support on Roku, try changing your display output settings on the Roku. Example: if your TV is 4k Dolby Vision and your Roku is set to Automatic (4K Dolby Vision), change it to 4k Dolby Vision. It is technically the same output, but it refreshes the display output and then try the content again.
