Perfect When You Don't Have The Enhanced Remote
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: DanVM
from Grand Rapids, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
The newer and higher end Roku models now come with an enhanced remote that gives you the ability to toggle the TV's power and control the volume. The Sideclick actually gives you some more capabilities in that it has extra buttons that you can easily program to control other features of your TV and even your entertainment system. It's attaches nicely though it clearly is not as elegant as the Roku Enhanced Remote.

It supports 4K formats for crisp, immersive pictures, and it has a remote finder button for locating the missing controller. The Roku Ultra media player has a night listening mode that automatically lowers louder moments and amplifies quieter ones for ideal late-night viewing.

The Features That Matter
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: DanVM
from Grand Rapids, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Roku Ultra has the features that count. My Nvidia Shield TV and Fire TV are excellent devices as well but the Roku's remote and compatibility put them to shame. For example, if you have HBO via Xfinity, only the Roku will allow you to use the HBO Go app. It is probably because Roku doesn't try to compete with the provider like other devices do.

Powerful In Its Simplicity

The HD screen renders colors much more accurately than most Chromebooks. I have a Surface Pro 3 and while I like it very much I find myself reaching for the Chromebook first because it is so quick to start up and shut down.

It is functional but has a very unpleasant sound quality and is not very loud. You definitely will not hear it over a vacuum cleaner.

Take security videos efficiently and simply with the Ring Stick Up Cam. The green-conscious rechargeable battery renders 6-12 months of battery life between recharges, while infrared LEDs let you operate this camera during the day or night. The secure quick-release mount adds to the installation ease of the Ring Stick Up Cam.

Disappointing
on April 15, 2017

The quality of the video is OK but not as clear as I had hoped. Part of the problem is that it only shoots at 15 frames per second. It also is slow to trigger meaning you will see the tail end of most activity.

Higher Quality

The camera on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro is what the others should have. It is noticeably better. The downside is that it can only be used with the 24V power that you "might" already have. Note that if you want to install a second one of these you will need another power source as one, standard transformer does not provide enough power.

Best Media Streamer To Date
on February 24, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned several Rokus over the years and even tried the Fire TV but the Nvidia Shield tops them all. Its Playstation Vue app far surpases Roku's and its built-in Chromecast and future Google Assistant capability is the icing on the cake.

Powerful but Lacking
on September 16, 2016
Posted by: DanVM
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Fire TV is a good device with a powerful processor and the best Playstation Vue interface. However, it can be frustrating to access the channels you've added as you have to either search for the channel or thumb through them all - one by one. The Roku allows you to arrange your channels in whatever order you choose. The Roku has the most channel options - including Vudu (a channel not available on the Fire TV). Still, if you intend to use the Playstation Vue service you'll be much happier with the Fire TV.

hi- all I want to be sure of...is that this will function as voice command. I will be able to speak to get this to pull up Netflix for example?

The Sideclick has no voice capabilities but your Roku remote may have the capability already.

Can the Sidekick be used to change tv stations?

Yes, but not like a normal remote as it only has an extra 4 buttons that can be programmed to perform other functions.

Do I need to,attach this to my TV to receive streaming tv and movies. And how do I choose stations, or movies? Can I pause a movie and come back to it later or tomorrow?

You attach it to your Roku remote - not TV. It provides the ability to control your TV's volume and power as well as a few extra functions.

If I use the camera inside my garage, can turn it off when I am home to save the battery, and only turn it on when I leave town? Can the stick ups be hardwired?

You really would not want to turn it off an on as it defeats the purpose of a security cam and is simply a hassle. The battery lasts a very long time and you can supply power to them 24/7 without issue. However, there is no Ethernet port so it will transfer data via WiFi.
