Holder for Old Roku Ultra (Not Compatible with Roku Ultra Models Purchased After September 2020)

Err... Why did I buy this instead of just pulling a piece of industrial Velcro out of my junk drawer? Because I'm a sucker for nice looking pieces of plastic? Because the box is just so darned nice? I'm not really sure, but this thing does nothing that some nearly free Velcro can't do for a lot less coin.Congratulations to the maker for making it and bringing it to market, though. They got my money, but not my actual usage. 4 stars for that.I think I might use it as a coaster. Tossing it in the recycle bin will probably upset an environmentalist or something. Can't have that.

We had to dismantle our satellite dish in July for a renovation project and we put our Dish account on hold. In early December, I was tired of not having TV to watch Christmas shows, so, I ordered the Roku since it works off our internet (which is still connected), My husband and I bought two new smart TV's (Samsung 1080p and a Samsung 4k). The Roku Ultra has been FANTASTIC beyond my expectations! Totally compatible with BOTH TVs and offers 4k picture quality and 1080 picture quality on our Tvs respectively. AS LONG AS YOUR TV HAS AN HDMI PORT, YOU CAN USE THIS!!! I would buy a TV with at least TWO HDMI ports in case you have other things you watch movies on--DVR,etc. I NEVER, EVER, WATCH THE CRAPPY "SMART TV" CHANNELS--UGH! I use the Roku remote and go right to the tiles I added (you have to use your computer set up your account but it's REALLY EASY and you add the channels you want) . I Love the fact that there are TONS of free channels--especially the Stooges Channel and the Honeymooners channels where you can, literally, stream EVERY season and episode for free! (Who doesn't like the Stooges)?? :) My TVG is also free (all you need to do is log in with your TVG account and the picture is like you're right on the racetrack)!!!! Lots of movie channels, Tubi is really good, and Crackle is good, Pluto Tv has some live stuff and movies too. All KINDS of channels for outdoor lovers, muscle car lovers, even channels with videos of the ocean and woods to help you relax. Bird watching channel, it's so cool. The remote that comes with the Ultra is capable of controlling the on/off and volume on the TV so I don't have to use the remote for the TV itself at all--EVER!! SOOOO COOL! Remote also has voice control which allows you to speak and tell it what you want to search for and watch, AND a button you can push on the box to find the remote should you misplace it. It's pretty loud so you will have no problem locating your remote. One thing to add: LIVE TV options are pretty much non -existent , so, I added Sling TV for the channels we most watch and HULU is a MUST if you want to watch ENTIRE seasons of Married With Children, MASH, Law & Order SVU, Seinfeld, and many more. I just love this thing. As long as your internet connection is sound, you'll really like it. Even if I didn't have Sling or Hulu, there are 1000s of things to watch, albeit, most of them are horror channels and older movies, but, I have found some really good stuff searching through the channels. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to cut the cord. OH, Fox news is free for rebroadcast (not live, but still today's news) as is live QVC and Weather Nation is free too. Can't say enough good things about my Roku--so far--so good. Bought one for the other TV and may add a third Tv. Yep, it's the best thing since Alexa!

i'd actually give it 4.5 stars, ONLY because i was hoping to use the screw hole(s) to mount it to the back of my tv. unfortunately, if you want it on the back of your tv, you MUST use the sticky pad. but i'm just going to drill the one hole out a tiny bit bigger so that i can use the existing mounting screw holes on my tv. other than that, it does the job.Mounting options:1. use sticky pad and stick to back of tv2. use screws and mount to a wall3. my option... drill one of the screw holes a bit bigger and use existing screw holes & screws for mounting tv to wall bracket

This unit is basically OK regarding only the manufactured strength and product sturdiness. The molded-in slat vanes are well conceived for the Roku's heat dissipation ventilation.HOWEVER - - and this is a HUGE "however," and why i give it only 2 stars - - the design regarding the front curved edge areas are totally without thought. Needless to say, this seller never properly tested this product once mounted. The point is that the front, bottom right hand side edge on the actual Roku Ultra has an "eye" LED that illuminates when power is applied. The black plastic- formed front lower edge that I alluded to INEXPLICABLY COVERS UP THAT "EYE." So why am I complaining so? Well, you see, it just so happens that that "eye" MUST remain fully visible - - without any obstruction - - to the outside World! If not, the audience user in front - - or to either side - - will experience absolutely no Remote Control effectiveness as that "eye sensor" MUST be visible for the sensor on the remote in the user's hand to be "read." The manufacturer obviously never tested this Roku holder with an Ultra unit like mine...I actually have five of them in my home. The manufacturer stupidly took as fact that the Ultra remote control uses RF (Radio Frequency) technology and not the more conventional and cheaper IR (Infra Red) "line of sight technology." This is so, BUT the RF remote version STILL NEEDS TO MAKE AIRWAVE CONTACT WITH THAT "EYE SENSOR" I've mentioned time and again. BUT, this CANNOT happen if the mount's bottom lip area is covering the "Eye sensor."So what did I do, rather than return it? Since the unit is fundamentally well made, I invested more than an hour's time to remove that bottom obstructing lip with my Dremel versatile mini cutter drill - - much like a dentist would do. The result is the remote now works as it should from all viewing angles in the room - - as mounting it on the back of the TV would never work since the "eye" would be totally obscured. I was forced to forward mount /install this Roku mount on a shelf below the TV so as to not obstruct the RF waves coming from the Ultra remote control. For me, NO CHANCE whatsoever this thing works when mounted behind the TV as recommended by the seller.Beats the heck out of me how so many people give this product such high ratings when they say this thing will work when mounted entirely behind the TV! I spend hours trying every conceivable position behind the TV to get this thing to work as advertised. NOT A CHANCE! Buyer Beware!
