Review on Roku Streaming Bluetooth Headphone Shortcuts by Jason Marquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product hampered by HDCP issues

I upgraded from a 2016 Roku Ultra. One of my favorite features is that the remote can point and work anywhere. An added plus is that it now controls my TV as well. Wi-Fi is said to be stronger, but appears to be on par with the 2016 model. However, I have an HDCP issue with a 2020 device that I haven't had since 2016. Roku is a great product and I've been using Roku for about 7 years. I don't know why they messed it up with HDCP so much that you can't use it for regular channels like YouTube and CNET. I have to restart my device every time I turn on the TV to use it (once per session). Use the supplied cable for this. After using Roku for 7 years, I'm going to try Android TV because I'm having trouble with HDCP. I don't want to restart every time I want to watch TV. As always, the Roku quality is A++. A NOTICE. I am reducing my rating to 1 star. Every time I turn the TV on and back on, I get a purple screen when trying to watch a YouTube channel or video on Roku. Only restart fixes it. I didn't have this issue with a 2016 Roku replaced with the same HDMI cable and connector.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Hard to say
