I've been using our Ultra's now with our Sony's for a while and we ordered back in 2022 the Pro remote, since the wife loves the remote with the connected ear phones and the new Pro allows USB charging instead of throwing batteries at it. How is your TV connected to "the Roku and any other device like a REceiver

HDMI from Roku. I didn't know there was a Roku Pro.

update:
Just looked and that is the remote that came with 2 of the Roku ultra units.
 
I'm guessing AVR is audio video receiver? None of those in the mix. We are paired with the TVs.

My home theater/automation guy said some Sonys don't respond to all Roku features.

After a couple of days the operation is not as bad as it seemed at first.

I have finally had enough of our TV service provider and going to move to just streaming. We will use a combination of Roku ultra boxes or TVs that have programing installed.

All we will get from Frontier is a 500mbs on fiber service. I am purchasing our own router to limit them as far as I can. Getting a $350 bill each month is absurd.

I decided to run new conduit from the router location to the ONT and my listening room and change my means of receiving service to all locations.

Now the question is which streaming to we go with? Looking at all of the platforms available they are quite similar. The question becomes which one is the most reliable and doesn't hit you with ridiculous charges.
Out of the 100 +- channels most offer we will use a a couple local and maybe 6 - 9 others. I have used an antenna successfully for local in the past but don't want to go back to that.

I am curious what services any of you are currently using and are you happy with it.

I have looked at many of the write-ups on the internet and it is all over the place as far as which one is the best. Kind of like audio equipment or any other product.

Brad - I had frontier at our home in the mountains and one of the greatest days was terminating them completely. We do not have fiber there (yet) and their landline service (for both phone and internet) was miserable and their customer service was abominable. Dumped the phone line completely, added starlink and the world up there is a different place now. Goodbye Frontier!
