Back to the Extreme 4k+
I have two, plus a stick 4k+ The stick has been problem free. But both Extremes have had remote issues.
One repeatedly kept telling me I needed to re-sync the remote to the TV. I have never had that issue in 10+ years of Roku. And when synced, it would power on the later model Samsung Smart TV but not the Roku!?! I turned off the energy saving auto-off feature and now the Roku comes up when the TV powers on. But that means the Roku is actually still tuned to the streaming channel and pulling bandwidth, I imagine....
The second Extreme has not been able to power on the second Samsung Smart TV. The syncing configuration recognizes I have a Samsung, and I can hear audio, right away. But the syncing asks to continue, each time asking if the audio is still heard. That continues until it eventually ends without completing properly. I have no control over the TV. So very 20th Century with two remotes.
Other than performance of loading apps, the old HD only stick that this second Extreme replaced behaved fine. I just wanted to have control over the TV with one remote. The Extreme has failed me in that regard. I may have to move my 4k+ stick to see if it is more successful. I fear that I will just have the same behavior with the Extreme on the third TV, as it is not Samsung but a lesser brand.
