    Dear viewers: If you find that the pace of the video is either too fast or too slow, you can adjust the playback speed of the video accordingly by pressing the 'gear' icon on the bottom right corner of the video. Then click on 'Playback Speed' and pick the speed you need.

    thanks for this. However I'm still getting just a blue screen. I can't seem to find out why ? my other tv works great . But can't seem to figure out why this tv with a new Roku I just bought won't get out of the blue screen.

    I don't think you talk too fast at all, I think you were very well-paced. (personally I put it on x1.25!) I thought this video was overall very well done. A brisk pace is better, if you're following step-by-step then you'll be pausing and rewinding anyway no matter the speed, so thank you for be conscious of our time!

    @allthatlightning 4 года назад +2

    Dumb question, do you need a wifi TV to use this or is the stick itself what connects to your wifi? ********UPDATE: I asked a rep at Walmart and she said no. I bought Raku for Wifi and it worked. She said the wifi connection is through the usb or the remote.

      Roku devices are just a source for getting the apps and playing them on your tv's. Any service such as Netflix that costs money without the roku device will still cost money with it.

      The one that I bought (amzn.to/2Px6ngI) did not. The only you would pay for after you buy it is any channel subscriptions. But there are plenty of channels that are free so you don't have to pay for anything post shipment if you don't want to.

  • @mary_losoya
    @mary_losoya 3 года назад

    Be careful when setting up Roku. Do not add any channels as they will more likely end up charging you. I added channels that I thought were free, and ended up having to pay for more than I could afford in a lifetime! Now I have to starve at work. Just be careful! My suggestion is that you do not add anything while setting up Roku and then add channels later as you are more familiarized with the channels and know they are really free. To be safe, just remove your credit card from the account so they can not charge you without your knowing. Only add your credit card at the time of purchase, and then remove it from the account when the purchase is done. Follow these points and you can keep your lunch money.

    I'm thinking about getting a Roku stick, do you mind if I ask a few questions? How can I connect to the Roku network through a Kindle or laptop? Is it in my Wi-Fi settings? And will my Kindle or laptop still be connected to my Wi-Fi that I normally use? I'm guessing it would be. And do you know how/why I would get data usage fees?

    • @johnbisset4504
      @johnbisset4504 5 лет назад +1

      WebkinzLiker264 It really as easy as this video explains, although if it’s too long, they supply an adapter, with a short cable, allowing it to hang down, rather than stick out.
      No Data charges, that I’m aware of, for viewing.
      Your Laptop is the best way, to set up your account.
      Once you’ve done that an assigned it a name, maybe your first name and its location. Like Fred living room. Or just a number, in the event you buy another Roku.
      Once you’ve set up, your TV screen will flash you four numbers, which you enter on your Laptop. Then that’s it, just add the channels you like. Plenty of suggestions I’m RUclips.
