Hi

Has anyone used the new Roku ultra or the Roku streambar? Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks!

We upgraded to a Roku Ultra. Our previous Roku was super old and was giving us problems with streaming. Since upgrading to the Ultra, those problems have disappeared. Plus, the remote gives voice command capabilities. We really like it.

We upgraded to Roku Streambar from our old Roku stick that was S L O W and we like it. It was a little more fiddly to set up than other Rokus we have had because it essentially diverts all sound from your TV to the Streambar, but not a big deal. We got it because we thought the sound would be an improvement for my husband with hearing loss, he says it's a bit better but we still use closed captioning even though he has hearing aids. I don't have hearing loss and find it helpful.

We still prefer listening to music on our Bose speaker. But the Streambar is lightning fast and we've been happy with it. Edit, the streambar also has voice command capabilities.

We have the Roku ultra and really like it. It is easy to set up and even the cats like it since there is an aquarium screen saver.

That's pretty funny. It is nice of you to provide them with entertainment. We look for Nemo when that screensaver is on.
