The remote is probably is probably its most multi-faceted and yet simple and intuitive solution. It has volume buttons or mute on the right side by your thumb. it has a headphone jack on the left for silent watching if you don't want to disturb others. It is an RF remote meaning you can tuck the Roku away in a cabinet or behind a TV and it will still work without line-of-sight. But the Roku does have an IR sensor if you have another IR remote too. And most of the buttons are what you'd expect on a modern streamer, but feels simple, easy, and intuitive to use. The skip-back button (like my Tivo button) is something I use a lot, such as if I missed something or didn't hear them quite right. Surprisingly by default it displays closed captioning (subtitle) on the replay so you can see what they said if you were backing it up. But you can turn that off CC on rewind if you rewind often and don't want the distraction of text. And the voice-command button and subsequent command processing is surprisingly good. You can even say things like "skip forward 2 minutes" or whatever. And you can even save your last voice command in one of the two numbered buttons by holding one after, and then repeats that command if you touch it again. I actually use that a lot to skip for ward 30 seconds :) .
However, some possible minor negatives are:
(1) There is no 30-second instant skip-forward button on the remote. But you can use a voice command to skip any amount of time you want, including 30-seconds, and can store that in one of the configurable buttons. It just isn't exactly instant skip while it processes the command, but close enough.
(2) Pausing and resuming leave the screen darkened and showing the progress bar and controls and takes a few seconds to resume normal brightness of the show or movie. That irks me compared to my LG TV that the back button can hide the bar so I can instantly be back into my show in its full picture.
(3) Streaming apps may vary by platform, so don't expect them to be identical. For example, I REALLY like the Netflix app on my LG TV for #2 and for fast forwarding that can click right or left through easy picture snapshots rather than a traditional fast forward or rewind that appears in the Roku version of the same app.
(4) The volume buttons on the right-side of the remote are easy to accidentally press if you aren't careful, but doesn't really get in the way.
(5) If it doesn't detect Dolby Vision, double check that the device it is directly connected to supports it on that HDMI input. Definitely not the fault of this device, but it puzzled me for a while why it didn't detect Dolby Vision at first when my TV supports it (the TV did, but the HDMI input on my Blu-ray player didn't).
Roku supports the widest channel library that I am aware of, and is the reason I bought this, for HBO Max. I use this when I want the best sound support to go through my sound system and it delivers a noticeable sound improvement in my home compared to my TV connected back to my A/V receiver. I actually have this plugged into the HDMI In port on my Oppo 4K Blu-ray player.

All kinds of channels are available on this thing, Amazon, HBO, Apple, Netflix, Hulu, and tons of others.
Great speed, they update the software about every 1.5 years or so (loads, reboots, done).
Can do wired or wireless as the connection.
HDMI port, power connector is practically all that you need, setup is a breeze
Can also connect a usb thumb drive for music BUT the music player included does NOT support playlists so can be tedious with a large music collection
Pandora, amazon music, Apple TV and music, and other music (streaming etc) can be added as “channels” on the interface.
Still, I’ve owned Roku devices since they first launched and have always really liked and appreciated their simplicity for the most part and how well they worked for be in the past. So, reading the specs on this latest model, specifically the “50% better WiFi connectivity” that this ultra claimed, well, I thought I’d chance buying it even though it was pricey. And, after having set up this Ultra and after I tried out all my streaming services that I subscribe to on it. I have to say that I couldn’t be happier and couldn’t be more impressed with how wonderfully this latest model functions for me.
I completely expect to have buffering issues at some point just because any streaming service will give you them eventually in my opinion. Yet, as far as the actual Roku being able to properly connect to my home’s WiFi network. Well, this model just works flawlessly I believe. I totally am convinced of and believe the advertised, increased, 50% better WiFi connectivity. To me it’s awesome when a product that I buy actually lives up the manufacturers claims :). Woohoo!
Plus, I haven’t used a newer Roku in a while and I really am digging all the new features and functions. I haven’t tried the Voice Assist stuff yet but I’d be surprised if it didn’t work flawlessly as well.
I also want to say just how grateful I am that Roku has continued to keep the overall aesthetics of the device to be very simplistic, clean looking, not cluttered and just super easy to understand, especially for both my folks. I set everything up for my parents but they were able to learn to how use this Roku very quickly with not too much instruction. They are both almost 70. Which isn’t really that old in my opinion and they are both sharp as heck. It’s just that they didn’t grow up using tech stuff like I did so it can be more confusing for them to learn these devices sometimes I’ve done. That’s one of the reasons I’ve always adored Rokus, though, because pretty much anybody can get up to speed in using the device efficiently in no time at all in my opinion.
Also, when initially downloading all my streaming service apps and looking at the sign in functions. I was at the start concerned that I might have issues signing into services such as HBO Max, STARZ and Showtime Anytime with my DirectTV credentials. But, that worry was all for nothing I gladly found out :P. It didn’t look like that I would be able to access a “cable/satellite provider” option from within the respective apps on the Roku itself and sign in that way. But once I just clicked LOG IN I was able to use my phone from there, input the given codes and sign up on the internet at the service’s websites and from there they each offered the cable/satellite provider feature I needed. I’m super happy and thankful it all worked out well for me with that potential issue.
I should also say that if you’ve never used a Roku before. That, the fact they use such an infinitesimal small amount of electricity to stay always on (the Roku doesn’t have a shut off function.) That I just forgot how awesome it is to have everything you might use already loaded up and ready to go because the device is always on and there is seriously very little wait time to load any applications on the Roku. That feature will never get old as far as I’m concerned.
So, I, of course, cannot speak to how well this new Roku Ultra will work for everyone else who buys and uses one. But as far my use has gone and as I said in my review title, I’m ultra impressed with this latest model. So much so that I believe I will purchase a second one for myself pretty soon. I hope my review was helpful to other shoppers and thanks for reading :D.

------------------------------------
No está mal este Roku Ultra, la adición del bluetooth parece buena y útil si vas a comprar los periféricos Roku para audio, yo no los adquiriré pues son demasiado caros, y por ese precio puedo comprar sonido de mejor calidad (por ejemplo el subwoofer está arriba de 4500, la central/frontales desde 2500 con oferta y las pequeñas traseras otro tanto, por $10,000 puedes adquirir mejores equipos de audio bluetooth).
Pros:
- Además de todo lo que ya tienen los modelos anteriores como el 2018 y 2019, el sonido Dolby Atmos y el vídeo Dolby Vision son grandes mejoras si tienes equipo de audio y vídeo que lo soporte.
- Los tiempos de carga son ligeramente mejores, pero nada extraordinario.
- Es un poco más pequeño que los modelos 2019 y 2018.
- Ya funcionan los comandos de voz en México a través del control y por la app (aún se puede dar de alta en USA o en México según sean las necesidades de cada persona, por ejemplo, si deseas Amazon Music, ese no está disponible en México, pero sí si te registras en USA; por el contrario si deseas Claro Video o FreeTV, esos servicios sólo están disponibles si te registras en México, en USA no están disponibles).
- Con la última actualización el Roku Ultra 2020 (y también el 2018 y 2019), ya cuentan con AirPlay, por lo que puedes espejear con cualquier dispositivo o móvil Apple, o cualquier PC con alguna aplicación compatible con Airplay (hay muy baratas para Windows y Android). [Para AirPlay les recomiendo usar su red WiFi de 5Ghz o mejor aún, conectar el Roku por ethernet ~mínimo 100Mbps o preferentemente 1000Mbps~].
- Se mantiene el control remoto por radiofrecuencia y siguen ofreciéndolo con audífonos, aunque no son JBL como los del 2018, pero mejoró un poco el alcance del control.
- Mejoró un poco el receptor WiFi, dicen que aproximadamente 50%, en términos reales con las pruebas que hice, es de 20 a 30% más alcance.
- La calidad de vídeo es igual que los modelos 2019 y 2018, es decir, es excepcional, para mí es mucho mejor que todos los demás dispositivos, hasta el AppleTV que es más caro, es inferior en calidad de vídeo y audio que los Roku Ultra.
- En 4K, este Roku Ultra (al igual que los modelos 2018 y 2019) se comporta de manera excelente y fluida (sólo lo he probado en televisores 120Hz y 240Hz reales, no simulados).
- El cable HDMI incluido es bueno.
- La autodetección del tipo de pantalla es muy rápida.
- Me detectó más rápidamente el tipo de televisor para autoconfigurar los botones laterales (IR o infrarrojos) para controlar el volumen y el encendido/apagado del televisor, incluyendo uno del 2008 que aún conservo y funciona.
- Pluto TV ya está disponible en México (servicio de TV y on demand gratis)
- Noto ligeramente mejor la conexión del Roku por PnP o Samba (mediante su reproductor integrado).
- Muy buena compatibilidad con HomeKit de Apple.
- Operable desde Siri o Alexa.
- No requiere de memoria micro sd como los modelos anteriores.
- Al parecer le harán más actualizaciones de S.O. que a los modelos 2018 y 2019, lo digo porque el Roku 2020 tiene versión 9.4.1, mientras el 2018 y 2019 tienen la 9.4.0
Contras:
- A veces se desfasa el audio en algunas aplicaciones, se elimina eso poniendo en modo passthrough.
- A veces tarda en iniciar y se queda en pantalla morada por bastante tiempo.
- Siento que se calienta un poco más, pero no marca nunca sobrecalentamiento.
- (Agregado 14/enero/2021): El Roku a ser desconectado y enfriarse, por alguna razón se escucha como si sufriera contracción térmica, muy parecido a cuando la madera "truena" por cambios de temperatura, esto no afecta su funcionamiento pero sí es molesto si lo tienes instalado por ejemplo en la TV de alguna recámara.
Por el momento es lo que puedo describir, apenas tiene un día que lo pruebo, aunque tengo experiencia con los dispositivos Roku pues los he usado desde hace ya varios años, si encuentro más detalles que comentar iré actualizando.
Nota extra: para quienes sean nuevos con este dispositivo, tomen en cuenta que siempre está encendido, no se extrañen si no pueden apagarlo, está diseñado para estar siempre online, la única manera de apagarlo es desconectarle la alimentación eléctrica. Y para quienes gustan de hacer jailbreaks y similares, es un poco más difícil hacerlo con estos Roku (y supuestamente pierden garantía), en lo personal no he tenido la necesidad de hacer esos procedimientos con la oferta que tienen y los servicios que contrato ~Prime Video, Netflix y PLEX~ más los gratuitos (Pluto TV, FreeTV, Butaca, Algunas series de Roku Channel que no está soportado en México, y espejeando aplicaciones y sitios de películas y TV desde mi móvil) me basta y sobra para tener opciones que ver.
Nota extra 2: No tengo android, pero sé que dispositivos android con capacidad de hacer "espejo" o "compartir" a tu pantalla de TV se puede espejear o compartir la pantalla como Airplay, aunque hay que hacer más pasos:
- Ir a la configuración de tu dispositivo Roku.
- Opción “Sistema”.
- Ir a “Reflejo de pantalla” y entra a la opción “Modo reflejo de pantalla”.
- Seleccionar “Permitir siempre” o la opción de “Indicación” (te pedirá autorización para compartir la pantalla del dispositivo a tu Roku).
- Desde tu teléfono buscas la opción “transmitir” en "ajustes rápidos" al deslizar el dedo de arriba hacia abajo.
- En teléfonos Samsung es en “Smart View”, y en equipos Xiaomi es “Emitir”.
- Desde ahí, seleccionas tu dispositivo Roku y tu pantalla será "espejeada" al mismo.

Extra 3 (muy largo): No pude responder a alguien que preguntó si se le podía conectar a un HDD, porque me marcaba error al intentar responder, lo pongo aquí:
Aclaro que no soy vendedor, sólo usuario entusiasta:
Tienes dos opciones para ello:
Opción 1 [Directa a ROKU ULTRA]: Le puedes conectar un usb o un hdd que no consuma más de 1 Ampere si es directo a su puerto USB ~puerto azul~ (NO mayor a 0.55 Amperes si es para Roku 2018 o 2019), o puede ser un HDD con alimentación externa, así tendrás acceso al contenido multimedia de tu disco (vídeo, audio e imágenes), a través de su reproductor integrado (Roku Media Player), tarda un tiempo en reconocer todo el contenido si tienes miles de archivos (al parecer les hace una "indexación"), por lo que hay que dejarlo conectado un par de horas o todo un día (en mi caso tenía más de 100,000 archivos multimedia y tardó cerca de dos horas en leer todo el disco al entrar a la app de Roku Media Player, también debes tener cuidado con los archivos de nombres muy muy largos, o que están en muchas subcarpetas, porque pasa lo mismo que en windows o apple, si la dirección del archivo es muy larga, a veces no los puedes reproducir).
Opción 2 [POR MEDIO DE TU RED CASERA]: Si tienes un modem/router con puerto USB, como ya casi todos los modem/router la tienen, puedes conectar tu disco duro ahí (si es modem con USB2 ~puerto negro~ hasta un HDD de 0.55 Amperes, y si es USB3 ~puerto azul~ o superior, hasta HDDs con consumo de 1 ampere).
(Op2 cont.)
Luego hacer los siguientes pasos (también debes dejar tus discos durante bastante tiempo conectado para que reconozca todos los archivos y carpetas, los modem/routers son más lentos para este proceso, aunque sólo es la primera vez que conectas el disco y abres la app de reproducción en Roku, es recomendable comprar un HDD exclusivo para este fin y dejarlo conectado permanentemente):
(Op2 cont.)
A.- En el portal de tu modem/router (ver instructivo para ver cuál es su dirección, comúnmente es escribir en el navegador de cualquier PC conectada a tu red 192.168.1.254 donde te pedirá nombre de usuario y contraseña que comúnmente vienen en el sticker pegado al modem/router cuando el proveedor de internet te proporciona el aparato).
A.-(continuación): Vas a la configuración de "USB" o "Almacenamiento" de tu modem/router y le das la opción de "Compartir Multimedia" o Multimedios (ahí mismo puedes seleccionar si compartirás todo el disco o sólo algunas carpetas, así como si permitirás lectura escritura o grabación de archivos, también puedes crear nombres de usuario y contraseña para acceder a tus archivos).
B.- Buscas en tu modem/router la opción llamada UPnP y la activas (hasta aquí es suficiente en la mayoría de los casos, esto combinado con la opción anterior de "compartir multimedia o compartir disco o compartir USB" permite que únicamente se compartan los archivos multimedia como default, sin necesidad de hacer nada más, ni siquiera necesitas crear usuarios ni contraseñas).
C.- Opcional para usuarios un poco más avanzados: en tu modem si existe la opción "SAMBA", la activas y creas ahí mismo un nombre de usuario y contraseña (también puedes seleccionar un puerto ~cuatro dígitos~, sólo cuidando no seleccionar los ya ocupados por tu modem, por lo regular te dice cuáles no usar en la ayuda del modem), también puedes configurar si tienes conocimientos que la conexión sea FTP o PLEX.
D.- (Opcional si tienes un disco NAS): Activar la opción UPnP del disco NAS, (o FTP, o PLEX, o SAMBA, como en el paso C opcional)
**************
Después dela opción 1; o 2 con sus pasos A y B (opcionalmente el C o D), lo único que tienes que hacer es encender to Roku, lanzar la app "Roku Media Player", selecionar el dispositivo que conectaste (respeta el nombre que tenga tu modem/router o disco duro), seleccionar el tipo de archivos que quieres ver (video, audio o imágenes), o si no quieres que tarde el leer todo, le das a "browse folders", entras al folder deseado y le das reproducir al archivo que desees (sólo te mostrará los de video, audio e imagen), y eso es todo disfrutarás de tus vídeos, y debo agregar, que el "Roku Media Player" mejora mucho la calidad del vídeo.
Soporta la mayoría de los formatos más comunes de video, audio e imagen, el único detalle es que el reproductor integrado, no tiene capacidad de reproducir bien los subtítulos con "estilos", es decir como los que llevan subtítulos no "pegados al vídeo" como karaokes, cambios de colores y fuentes, carteles hechos el substation alpha, subtítulos animados mediante comandos, etc., reproduce los subtítulos como texto plano (es decir sólo un estilo, un color y un tamaño que puedes seleccionar tú previamente en los ajustes de Roku, también ahí puedes seleccionar el idioma de default de los subtítulos para los archivos con multisubs).
Ventaja de la opción 1: La más sencilla, rápida y privada para ver tus videos, música o películas.
Ventaja de la opción 2: Los archivos multimedia estarán disponibles para TODOS los Roku que tengas conectados a tu red WiFi o cableada doméstica, también para TODAS las TV que estén conectadas a tu red y tengan capacidad UPnP (casi todas las smartv lo tienen), también para TODOS tus dispositivos móviles con WiFi ~teléfonos, tabletas, laptops, PCs, etc.~ que tengan instalados un reproductor con capacidad UPnP (el más comúnes el VLC Media Player basado en la versión de Vetinari, el cual es compatible con casi cualquier plataforma y este SÍ acepta subtítulos animados por comando y cambios de fuente, excepto en la versión para teléfonos celulares, los toma como texto plano; en su versión VLC para celulares se entra a los archivos por la opción "Red" y en la versión PC por "plug'n'play universal").

However issue with Roku in INDIA is there is NO Amazon Prime Video , NO Disney Hotstar, NO MX-Player like apps on Roku. Only for Netflix customer wont buy this 15000 rupee device hence Apple TV 4K is better than Roku Ultra 2020 in INDIA.
Roku company should seriously consider getting Amazon Prime , Disney Hotstar apps on Roku in India and they can get good sales in India. Roku should officially launch in India also. Waiting for Roku company to take right action for India market.
But Roku Ultra 2020 device itself is very good, I took it but got dissapointed because of NO amazon prime video and Disney Hotstar app on this.
