can't wait to get our roku ultimates in the mail tomorrow.. that should be fun!!! better streaming boxes are coming out that support wifi 6. yttv has been smooth and flawless for us . i remember trying directv now when they were giving the apple t.v. away. i can't even say what an utter disater that was crashing all the time and buffering...

I am happy with my Roku Ultra. I note that my TV, AVR and the Ultra seem to take the better part of a minute to finish handshaking. Not sure who's the culprit.

Weird. I never had any issues with DirecTV Now and the Apple TV.

Just be patient. Streaming is becoming pretty cable-esque. Ads, live sports, reality TV, consolidation, big price increases, bit-starved picture quality, etc. Pretty soon, there will be no meaningful difference.

Yep, they just cut the middleman out.
