We've had two Roku Ultras over the last 5-6 years or so and the current one replaced the first one due to reliability issues. The current one for the last year has errored on HDCP (screen blinks purple then I get the HDCP error screen which requires a reboot) every now and then despite me replacing every HDMI cable in the loop. It's connected to my TV directly and I have the soundbar is connected via the ARC port on the TV.

Wonder if the new ones are any more reliable or should I try an Apple TV once Apple announces the new one later this month? We are an Apple centric household.
