> Roku is SLOW
What's slow? I have several Roku Streaming Sticks which are their lowest hardware spec and I have never experienced any UI slowness. I love the clicky remote, and can blaze through DVR recordings using the skip buttons. It's so fast, I can skip 15 between pitches in an MLB game without lag, whereas with my Chromecast it's a slight delay which doesn't make it worth it.
- foxyv 5y agoIt may be that I just have an older Roku Ultra (2019 ish) but it's definitely slow. Loading Youtube takes 30 seconds to a minute, moving between videos is a 30 second delay, everything loads slowly. It likes to eat inputs from the remote as well. Scrolling through video is brutally painful. The Apple TV is probably 5-10x faster on everything.
- josefresco 5y agoYeah something's wrong. I bought my Rokus over several years, some of them are older than 2019 for sure. The only issue we had was my daughter's remote stopped working. Otherwise the low end streaming sticks, performance wise have been very fast. My Smart LG TV in contrast, is painfully slow. Given the spat between Google/Roku I bought a Chromecast but I'm not thrilled given it doesn't support multiple YTTV profiles.
