    Hmm I can’t say I’ve ever used the voice features. But I (unfortunately) got my family into the Roku ecosystem awhile ago (before streaming blew up, we had got rid of DirecTV longgggg ago when it became too expensive and my dad had lost his job) and every single Roku device we’ve ever had except for the 2018 Roku Premiere+ just slowly gets more and more broken over time. The interface will take multiple seconds to respond to a button press after a couple years or so. It’s so bad that we have a Roku TV that’s so slow that there’s a Roku device plugged into it that we use instead, and even that device is so slow that I’m washing it got burned with fire. On top of that I can tell that certain apps know that they’re running on crappy hardware and software (particularly the Sling TV app), and deliver footage at a horrendously low video quality as a result.

      All models except the Roku Ultra will likely need to be replaced every 12-18 months. After that they start getting incredibly slow. The Ultra’s seem to hang in there for at least 36 months, sometimes longer.

      weird, back in 2020 I set up a tv in my office to stream. I pulled an old Roku from who knows when (pre2014 when we moved) and hooked it up and it worked great.
