The additional fee is not listed in the product description.

This is my third Roku Box. After plugging it in as instructed, I called go.roku.com/selectinput as instructed. Someone in India, whom I could barely understand, told me that my Roku account needed to be upgraded to newer software and that there would be a one-time fee of $69.95 to upgrade. I'm sending my Roku Ultra back and going back to my old model. The rep offered me a discount when I protested which only made the injury worse. I told her I wouldn't pay a dime for the box. So it's useless to

Get the latest Roku and it's ok

Arrived and with everyone Apps installed in 30 minutes that I wanted. Hulu, Revain Prime, Sling, SiriusXM etc all work fine and I'm so glad I have the Ethernet version. Thanks to this and a really powerful antenna I got for local stations last month, I can now finally unplug. Farewell to power outages every six months due to contract negotiations. Goodbye slow-rising DISH bills. I was also able to connect to my Plex server and quickly browse my network and also test the USB connection to an…

Pros
  • Maximum connectivity: No matter what you're streaming, enjoy a reliable dual-band wireless connection or use the Ethernet port for wired streaming
Cons
  • Hard to say

So far, so good! in TV & Video

Note: This rating is based on two days of use. What I like is the easy setup, automatic TV connection, sound and mute. We connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV, and the TV connects to the AVR sound system via the HDMI ARC output. The power button turns off the TV and receiver, which is a plus for me. Although I opted for a wired connection, we connected wirelessly on day one and the device connected easily and quickly with a strong signal. All of this simplified our decision to ditch the…

Pros
  • Roku Free Mobile App: Turn your iOS or Android device into the perfect companion; Control your Roku Media Player or Roku TV, use voice search, enjoy private listening and more on iOS and Android

Have to keep reloading.

I am very disappointed with this Roku model. Having had a Roku 3 for many years and never had an issue, I expected this model to perform well as well. I bought it on October 26th, after a few weeks my TV went dark and silent, then the Roku home screen appeared and I had to go back to the app to finish the program I was watching. At first I thought it was my TV and hired a TV technician. But today I realized it was Roku. The sound continued to distort, coming in and out. I checked my HDMI audio…

Pros
  • Control your TV: Use your voice to set personal shortcuts for one-touch controls, search channels, turn on subtitles and more with the advanced Voice Remote; Also enjoy private listening with JBL premium headphones and TV controls included
Cons
  • Some bugs

worked for an hour

The device arrived and seemed new. I set it up and it was easy. I started watching a movie and after an hour the internet connection was gone, not trying to reconnect. All my other items still worked on my internet, I restarted the router, it made no difference. I bought an extended warranty and called Revain for service (as they say tech support is included). There the answer was to turn the device off and on again, which I have already done. Then they made me reboot the router, it didn't…

Pros
  • Automatic software update: Get the latest software, including all the latest features and available channels, without thinking twice
Cons
  • Repair

Excellent streamer; Inconvenient remote control

The 2019 Roku Ultra was a big step up from our six-year-old Roku 3. Setup is very easy, just follow the clear quick start guide and then the on-screen instructions. If you've used Rokus in the past, all of your existing apps will be downloaded as part of the install. Unfortunately, you also get a bunch of other apps along the way. You must remove them one by one. You will also need to re-register with each of your subscription services. It's tedious, but I believe it's necessary for security…

Pros
  • Endless entertainment: stream everything including free TV, live news, sports and more; Never miss award-winning shows, the latest blockbuster hits and more; Access to more than 500,000 films and series; Broadcast what you love and lower your cable bills
Cons
  • The list will go on.
