Roku Ultra has a blinking red light and is unresponsive. I have unplugged the HDMI cable and also the power cord. In the past I have had to unplug the power cord to reboot the unit to make it work. Any sugestions or is the unit junk? Won't buy another one. Using a free Chromecast now.

The Chromecast has its pros and cons, but I won't make any case for or against it.
As for your Roku, you didn't state what version of Ultra it is. Unfortunately Roku reuses the same name on multiple versions (currently at seven different versions), and we need to know which one you have. The problem might be with the power supply (the cube that plugs into the wall), with the HDMI cable, or yes the unit itself might be defective. Knowing what model number you have would point to it possibly just failing from age. The first version of the Ultra is now over seven years old, and it might simply be failing.
