Overall Feedback:
86% positive

I prefer to hook the device directly to the WiFi/Internet modem, but it can also be used wirelessly.
I needed the ethernet option due to weak WiFi spots in my home.
I bought the device mainly because it had an Ethernet jack.

88% liked the remote control, but 12% didn't
The remote control of this streaming media player is awesome with on/off/volume/mute controls for the TV.
If you want the Roku remote to control the TV's volume and power, set it up for that function.
It took me several repeated setup attempts for Roku Ultra to settle on code 5 for remote to enable volume and mute controls.
After watching something on Roku, I cannot control the volume with my TV remote for other streaming apps. This is negative feedback regarding the remote control feature of streaming-media-players.
