Roku Ultra (4800R) In-depth Review

1 year ago

If you are looking for a simple and cheap way to watch your Netflix, and Hulu and other streaming type services in 4K on your TV look no further then the Roku Ultra. What makes the Roku Ultra different from other set top streaming boxes is its size (fits in your hand), supported 1080p, 4K UHD and not only can it use WiFi both 2.4ghz, and 5ghz, but wired Ethernet for unbeatable seeped. For those of you that may have a set top box already or other means of streaming your shows to your TV, do they only use 3 watts of power? Chances are no, but the Roku Ultra does.

In all seriousness the Roku Ultra is a great tool in the cord cutters arsenal and I highly recommend it as long as you know what you are getting into. It is not like the TV box that you have from a cable or satellite provider. It does not pull down over the air networks. You will need to have some subscriptions to make full use of the Roku Ultra (aka Netflix.)

In this review I walk you through the general specs of the Roku Ultra. I also show the User interface and give my opinion on things that I thought could have been done a little better. All and all the Roku Ultra is in my opinion a great set top streaming box.
