Great product ruined by HDCP issues
I upgraded from the 2016 Roku Ultra. One of my fav features is the remote can point anywhere and it works. Extra plus that it controls my TV also now. The wifi is supposed to be stronger, but it seems to be the same level as the 2016 model. However, there are HDCP issue with the 2020 unit I have that I did not have with the 2016. Roku is a great product and I have been using Roku about 7 years now. I don't know why they would ruin it with HDCP so strong you can not use it for normal channels like youtube and cnet. I have to reboot my unit every time I turn on the tv to use it (once per a session). This is using their cable that was provided. After 7 years of Roku, I am going to give Android TV a try because the HDCP issues. I don't want to have to do a reboot every time I want to watch tv. As always, Roku quality is A++. NOTE: I am downgrading this to 1 star. Everytime I turn the TV and turn it back on, I have a purple screen when I try to watch a channel on or a youtube video on Roku. Only a reboot fixes this. I did not have this problem with the 2016 Roku that it replaced on the same HDMI cord and port. Note: I tried the cord that comes with Roku and I still get random purple screen
