I am happy with my Roku Ultra. I note that my TV, AVR and the Ultra seem to take the better part of a minute to finish handshaking. Not sure who's the culprit.

Weird. I never had any issues with DirecTV Now and the Apple TV.

Just be patient. Streaming is becoming pretty cable-esque. Ads, live sports, reality TV, consolidation, big price increases, bit-starved picture quality, etc. Pretty soon, there will be no meaningful difference.

Yep, they just cut the middleman out.
