I really love Roku. I bought this to replace a stupid Fire Stick that kept requiring me to reboot multiple times a day to get various apps to stream. Loved it so much I've bought a couple more Roku Express and went with a Roku powered 4K TV (TCL) when upgrading from 1080p.

This EVGA power supply comes with all the cords needed for installation.

I needed a power supply replacement in a pinch and picked this up at my local Best Buy a little over a year ago. Would have prefered a fully modular PSU, but this saved me in an emergency, was very easy to install, and have had no issues to date.

Great heart monitor and pedometer, but went with Fitbit over cheaper options because I really liked all the extras, especially the sleep monitoring. This was a gift purchase (same exact model that I have) and they love it too.

These are great simple speakers. I'm tired of buying "speaker systems" for my computer - 5 channel, subwoofer, etc. I don't consume a lot of media on computer anymore. I do that on the smart TV. I just wanted something simple with good sound and these are perfect for that.

Does what it's supposed to do.

Does what it's supposed to do, but don't use it anymore. Ended up just getting an "Xbox 1 controller for Windows PC," and prefer that much better. For the price, it's a good buy though if you're not picky.

The best streaming media player on the market. I can't stand Fire TV - can't recommend avoiding enough. I like (need) the ability to screen cast with the Chromecast in office, but the thing looks so dumb: giant hockey puck on a string. Roku is amazing though. Very fast and responsive. Liked it so much it was a major factor in choosing TCL for a budget TV in the garage.

I don't care for Call of Duty much anymore. The Modern Warfare series was by far my favorite, followed by Black Ops 1 and World at War. I have WWII, but haven't played it yet. The remaster looks amazing on PS4 with 4K TV.

Have loved the whole series so far. Favorite is still the 1st in the series, but that pretty much holds true for any origin story / first-in-series (reboot in this case) - be it movie, book, etc. This was purchased as a gift. I played the game on PS4, but have seen it on Xbox 1 and thought they both looked and played great.

Movie is great - saw it in theaters. The 4K looks really good. Not sure it's much better than the blu-ray, but since I have a 4K TV decided to go ahead and get on 4K. No regrets.

I am purchasing a Roku Ultra. From you so I assume I’ll need a cable to hook the unit up to my older TV I believe it’s a HIME Cable (sp) to finish the install. What accessories are absolutely needed for a no problem install?
You'll need an HDMI cable. I know 4K blu-ray players need a 4K-rated HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0). The Ultra streams 4K, but don't know if HDMI needs to be 4K. Would think so. Prices on cables are low enough that you might as well get the 4K-rated one anyway. Most are probably already rated for it.

I just purchased Ultra Streaming Media Player to get TED TALKS and there is no T TALKS icon showing on the outside of the box. How do I know it will play TED TALKS? You have said it does but how do I know? What is a cheaper device to do that?

I have a roku 2 older model in my bedroom, it works excellent. I bought a roku express for the living room and it does not work well, sometimes it does not work at all, do I need a diferent roku is there a stronger one LR is about 35 ft from a arris route
The Ultra supports WIreless 802.11ac while the Express only offers 802.11b/g/n - so theoretically, yes, the Ultra would offer better connection speeds. However, it also depends on the speed of your internet and whether your router supports Wireless AC. I've also heard of people having issues with any brand of streaming player (Fire, Apple, etc.) on older TVs in general - I think in these cases it might be an HDMI issue (perhaps faulty) - where the video is reaching the streaming player quickly without issue, but the TV is having an issue processing it at the HDMI port. All of my older 1080p TVs have had issues with HDMI ports over the years. Usually going out completely after power surges.

I have a Roku Express on a TV that is not a smartTV. I also have a smartTV, but prefer the Roku on that TV. What advantages over the Express can the Ultra Streaming Media Player offer me? I am not interested in recording streamed shows.
I went with the Roku Ultra earlier this year as my first Roku device because I knew I'd be upgrading to 4K. I ended up with a Roku 4K TV (TCL) so it didn't really matter, but I still like the Roku Ultra better than any of the others I have (2 x Roku TCL 4K TVs, and 2 x Roku Express) because I really like that the controller comes with a headphone jack. Those are two main points for Ultra (4K, headphone jack remote) vs. Express (none of those things). Ultra also has a media card reader that I've used to stream online courses downloaded from the internet (that didn't have a Roku app).

Can you use for steam?
That is what I purchased this for - steam games. And it worked fine. I had to do some controller mapping, but ultimately decided to go with an Xbox 1 controller. Works with the controller-enabled steam games I tried it on, including Fallout 4 and No Man's Sky.
