With a Roku Ultra, you can stream content from the internet on your TV, even if you have an older model which isn’t a smart TV. You plug the Roku into the back of your set, and then you can control it from your couch using the included remote control. The Roku Ultra has ports for USB devices and MicroSD cards, so you can connect other media storage and make it playable through your TV too.

The advantage of the Ultra model over a standard Roku is high-quality streaming, so you can stream in HDR and 4K. That makes this a great device for users with HD TVs who are looking to expand their functionality. With the Roku Ultra installed, you can use the Roku interface to stream content from Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and more.

The Roku Ultra comes with some nice extras in the box, including a pair of JBL-branded headphones that you can use to listen to content through the Roku remote’s 3.5mm headphone jack. There is also a Roku app for your Android or iOS device which can be downloaded for free and which you can use to control your Roku from your phone through an interface or using voice commands.

For more information, see our full review of the Roku Ultra, in which we declared this device to be fast, flexible, and fun.

Your next song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.

YouTube just gave its creators a tool that streaming platforms take for granted. I’m talking about the ability to structure content as proper episodic TV. 

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.
