Yes of course.   This is a roku ultra model 4660x with a new "voice remote pro"  remote hardware device provided by support

If there is some sort of communication with the remote device that requires a new roku ultra unit/console,  I'm fine with that as 5 years is s long time in this product sector.  I do have three roku ultras and two streaming sticks!

Re: Is this true no support for tvs older than 4 years ?

That's an interesting question!   I haven't tried either of my other two 4660s on this TV if that's what you mean.   The issue as I best understand it is limited to the TV.  Although your question prompts what might be a very interesting vector to this.  I recall that my harmony remote still works.  Cec is enabled on the TV and of course the harmony depends on network control as well.  But when I attempt cec control with the roku that fails as well.   Hmm

  • I appreciate your thoughtful approach here it's just the guidance I need to dig into this
