I turned on my TV today to see an add on the Home screen of Roku stating I was selected to get 40% off a Roku streaming device.

This says it was a TARGETED ad so YMMV

Roku Express 4K+ is $23.99 instead of $39.99
Roku Streaming Stick 4K is $29.99 instead of $49.99
Roku Ultra is $59.99 instead of $99.99
Free Shipping

Apparently the Ultra is on backorder. When I ordered it, I received an email stating it was on backorder and it estimated shipping at 4/16.

Is the newest model of Ultra still the 2022 model, which if I'm not mistaken, still uses the same hardware from the 2020 model in the box? Didn't it only change the remote?

I have three of the 2018 Roku Ultras and while they aren't "slow", they do take a few seconds to load apps. I do have Micro SD cards installed so it's not that it has to re-load the app. I'm just wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience with the two models, and if anyone knows if these current Ultras are still using the 2020 hardware. Google seems to suggest that is the case. Wondering if it would be worth upgrading at all aside from the rechargeable remote.
Because it only applies to their TV and has been for years. Their standalone devices are still decent, at least for now

If you care about your privacy I'd stay away from rokus. They are constantly sending data to Roku and Apple. Like, I have some network level ad blocking going on in my house and the calls being sent from my rokus are an order of magnitude higher than all other blocked calls combined.

I don't even have the Apple app on my Roku and it's attempting to talk to Apple thousands of times per day...

How do you block ?

The other roku…. Stick or ultra… you do not have to aim the remote to the tv.

This is true; infrared vs RF remotes. You get what you pay for. The 4K Express is not a bad unit for $25.

I am gonna have to HARD PASS all ROKU going forward with their new draconian AD patents they are pushing out. Own a Roku TV and pause your gaming console, incoming ADS now. Pause the video on a stream to step away, INCOMING ADS planned. STAY AWAY from this intrusion into your ability to control WHAT is on your TV in your house. ROKU can kick rocks.

Can anyone else not check out? It shows me the offers and lets me add to cart but when I go to check out it says my cart is empty. I've tried multiple devices, browsers, etc.

I was able to check out about an hour ago and the total shown in my cart matched the sale price. The order confirmation I received following submitting the order did not show the sale price and I was charged the higher regular price for the device.

Ugh. I guess they're either having a technical issue or they're in the process of ending the deal. Maybe both.

Roku ultra and stick is good. Express one you need to aim the remote to the receiver.

I would avoid express
Personally, it would be the exact opposite. I still use a harmony remote so the express would be my preferred option since it still support IR remote for direct control with the harmony. I know CEC should theoretically work with the Ultra or Stick but in my experience in my setup it seems to be a lot flakier.

Doesn't look like I qualify for this deal or I might have considered it. My several year old premier seems like it might be dying. I'm starting to get some sparkling and audio break up issues with it that always clear themselves up by a restart of the Roku. I haven't done much else to troubleshoot it yet but it's not giving an overheating message and I don't think it's the cable because I wouldn't expect a reboot to help if the issue is the cable.

Plus samsung tvs have the worst TV OS of all so they should be the biggest target market for Roku , Samsung being one of the biggest manufacturers with crappy software and support.

Amen to that. Tizen OS is so horrible. Tried to use it on an older Samsung TV I had and ended up buying an Nvidia Shield 2019 (I think that's the newest?) to connect because I couldn't handle trying to deal with Tizen. Personally I think the Shield is insanely overrated for the premium they're charging, especially considering it's using the same processor as the Switch. Or if it's not the exact same one, it's very similar. I just absolutely wouldn't pay $199 for it in 2024. That's absurd. Its only benefit is how it can decode basically anything you throw at it. Give me the simplicity of the Roku any day of the week. Or an ATV. Either or. FireTV is trash, and I think GoogleTV should be a lot better than it is. It's not "bad", but it's not great either.

I ordered the Ultra late last night (technically early this morning). It's on backorder until 4/16, which I'm OK with. But yet Roku charged my CC right away. shake head

My Roku Ultra is plugged into a power center that cuts power to the Roku whenever the system is off. This is done using the 12 volt trigger from the HT receiver to the power center. Setting it up this way ensures Roku is not sending thousands of requests to its ad servers etc 24/7 while not in use.

Roku cancelled my order for the Ultra model. Got a generic email "Apologies, but we had a problem processing payment for your order". Roku Ultra is no longer available for purchase.

Probably the deal they made with Apple to have AppleTV+ content available on Roku devices.

how does the ultra handle videos from USB drives? I have a TLC with integrated Roku and so far it plays everything I've thrown at it, but it is on a room I don't use a lot, I'd like the same for the living room. Streaming from a computer is not an option because my computer cannot handle it

So the Ultra does do 24/192 audio. Everything is down converted to 48kHz just like Apple TV 4K. Sticking with my fire cube as it does true lossless audio, Atmos and DTS X
