hello sir, maybe you can help answer this. i use roku, A/C powered, not the stick, and watch netflix and amazon prime. i have no problem w netflix, but when on amazon, the pitcher and sound will be out of sync, a hesitation in the pitcher and sound, not very long, 10-20 sec, and sometimes it freezes up and a frequency buffering problem will show up. it goes away after a while or i push the back button and it starts back up just fine. this happens every so often, sometimes not at all. what do you think is the problem, tks in advance
What is the sound mode on the Roku 4kHDR TV? It won't let me access it and the sound in my headphones is really low when plugged into my phone turned all the way up.
I'm not a big fan of going to the movie theater so when there's something playing and the theater I love to go into my Roku feed and do a search for that particular movie and when it comes available it'll show up . One of the things I miss about my fire TV is the inability to get audible books through my television but otherwise I really prefer Roku and all other areas.
find out what digital service your local library uses to loan out audiobooks, music, movies etc. If its something like "Hoopla" you can get that channel/App on Roku. Just sign up using your Library ID. Many libraries allow you to "borrow" about 10 items a month tho 1 episode of a tv show = 1 item.
Oddly about a month ago I caught what I think was an error on Rokus part. Billions was completely free for all seasons as well as the showtime series Ray Donovan as well as other showtime things. Someone messed up I think because every season of everything showtime seemed to be free. I watched Billions first 2 seasons but sadly about 3 or 4 days after I discovered this Roku Channel goof up they were locked again.
If you happen to have netflix search showtime. Many old showtime series are there in full as well as current hits like Shameless. If you have amazon prime search for HBO. Amazon won't let you watch Game of Thrones or Westworld which are current huge hits for them but you can watch every episode of sex in the City, The sopranos, eastbound & down, Deadwood, boardwalk Empire, the list goes on and on and on. There are so many old HBO series that they have made available because of the good deal they have with Amazon. Apparently Amazon alone accounts for 51% or more of all streaming subscriptions that they have so I guess they have offered up most everything they have in their back catalogue like true blood, the wire, In Treatment, veep, the newsroom, seriously this list just is almost infinite.... Tons of HBO comedy specials and original movies as well. Not sure if you happen to have either Netflix or Amazon but since a lot of people do this is something I don't think a lot of people are aware of that is definitely a bonus for having those subscriptions. You'd be surprised what you can find with a little bit of digging.if you are going completely free though then do a few Google searches for the best TV and movie apps for free on Roku. There is a very large number of free quality movie apps that you can use for b&C list movies. Even some good A list titles are available now and then.
@@TorrentFiend10 .... Lucky you! I may sign up for a trial with Showtime and finish watching Billions. I'll wait until the end of current season (Four, I think).
Plus the Roku app offers a Remote Control and Expert Picture Settings (Roku TV only) managing Noise Reduction, Gamma and more. The Cast Music, Photos and Video to your TV is convenient and reliable too.
I’ve watched one of your videos previously. Thank you for your wealth of information about ROKU - I cut the cord a year and a half ago - although I really haven’t paid for cable in years - the first experience I had with cable was in 1969 at Penn State. The mountainous area prevented decent reception of most stations on VHF or UHF. And for just $6.32 a month, you got 13 channels including a very crude weather station (it consisted of a TV camera placed on an oscillating machine and it showed you a thermometer, a barometer and an anemometer - back and forth 24/7) BUT it was only $6.32 at the time. Imagine a cable bill like that? The concept of paying for TV AND still having to watch commercials (cable’s AMC for example) is so ludicrous it’s almost ridiculous. Oh yes, one small correction: the word you use in the beginning of this video is spelled “etcetera” pronounced et-cet-er-a and not ec-cet-er-a. Sorry, the old English teacher in me oozes out every once in a while.
I just added my second Roku Streambar and it works great except I cannot turn on the tv with the remote. All of the other functions work fine except for turning it on. What can I do about this?
You should certainly do more of these. I probably had Roku for 6 months before I found many of these -- and often by accident. And other stuff like re-arranging channels that I also found by accident. With new devices, as my comfort grows, I play around with buttons. 😀
The one thing I hate about my Roku tv is sometimes it loses network connection and you have to restart. A few people tell me they have the same problem
I'm familiar with everything you covered. What I was hoping you'd mention is how'd you get the "Antenna TV", "HDMI 1", etc apps on the main screen?? I have the Roku stick and I've never seen that.
L Moore same here with my roku ultra. Like the pin. I know it’s there because I have a pin for mine. Just can’t figure out where to go to toggle it on and off
Bought my first TCL Roku tv today upgrading from a 10-year old Samsung "dumb" tv. Have you done any videos on the difference in data usage? I thought I read that watching in 4K uses about 4 times as much data. Also, is the data usage the same or different if you watch the same movie on your iPhone, your laptop, or on the Roku tv?
Hello I just purchase a onn/Roku tv but I don’t like the remote because it don’t have numbers and I have brought two universal one from Walmart but they want pair can you please tell me one I can get that have the number on it. That will works. Thanks
How can you screen mirror two roku TV's to show the same thing , or 3 TV's . All my TV's are Roku TV's and are on the same network . Am my camera system is on the same Network . I am trying to cast , mirror stream the same thing to all my TV's for my wife so she can get a check on the house , kids, ect. How can I do this ???
@Tom Carroll Yes, in this wks cordcutters episode he talks bout the new dishnet lawsuit thats up N coming for ppl that receive pirated content. $3500 per person. Amazon, etc may join in on the suit.
I have a question for ya. I bought a wifi pc and I want to stream content from my pc to my Roku tv. The pc does NOT recognize the tv at all. BTW it is a desktop pc. I went into wifi settings on the pc and I had my roku tv on in the screen mirroring mode. What else am I missing?
Why can't I find my favorite racing channels for Formula One, NASCAR, Indy, garage car shows? Where's all the channels? Roku only looks like it's for movies.
I had to get SlingTv to watch Formula 1 and Motogp. Formula 1 is on ESPN in the USA and Motogp is on BEIN Sports. There are other services that carry those services so do a little research
Anybody got any "pro tips" for when your TCL Roku tv powers on but has a black screen I had mine for a little over a year now and it did this a couple of days ago I did the force reboot and I hit the factory reset button and it still has a black screen if anybody know how to fix this let me know if not I'm done with the TCL TV's
i had the same shit happen to me less than a year old...i had to replace the led back lights in it..pain in the ass ..i got a samsung and gave my kid the roku..which we cant connect to the fricking internet now...lmao..live and learn
I thought this video was going to show me something new, this was a waste of time because he speaks of things that people would know about already since this tv been out like 4 years already... Tell me something I don't know because roku menus are so clear to understand
If I can't get Plex or Kodi or apks then Roku is rubbish in fact first box had but customer service was terrible and was policing mi on my Roku more like mpaa Ace or isp ..Roku is joke /go get nivida shield or new nivida shield tv or even Amazon 4k firestick or Android box which allows mi freedom cutting the club..again Roku is rubbish

Love my Roku! I've abandoned over-the-air broadcast TV completely. Never subscribed to cable TV. Love RUclips, AcornTV and the Roku Channel. ♥
~ p.s. I did catch the 1st season of Billions during free streaming week.
Oddly about a month ago I caught what I think was an error on Rokus part. Billions was completely free for all seasons as well as the showtime series Ray Donovan as well as other showtime things.

Are you paying monthly for AcornTV?
Plus the Roku app offers a Remote Control and Expert Picture Settings (Roku TV only) managing Noise Reduction, Gamma and more. The Cast Music, Photos and Video to your TV is convenient and reliable too.
I enjoy using the Roku app on my smartphone. It is really easy to use and I enjoy the private listening mode. Have you done a video about that?
You should do a video about using Google assistant and Alexa with Roku and other smart TVs.

Settings>Accessibility>Captions>On replay mode is pretty handy with so much mumbling prevelant.
I like your videos but it takes you too long to get to the point. I find my self fast forwarding to get the info I want.
Amen brother! So many words! I turned it off after 3 min and only through tip 1. It's like listening to a girl but slower and way uglier.
The one thing I hate about my Roku tv is sometimes it loses network connection and you have to restart. A few people tell me they have the same problem
have you tried plugging it up instead of using USB power? that fixed it for me
How do I stop RUclips from popping up when I'm looking at regular TV and turning on when I turn it off?
Hi love your channel my question is how offen should upgrade your roku player
If it's working and offers you everything you need no need to upgrade.
Thanks for the featured free tip. I’ve definitely found some good nuggets using the feature 🎥 🍿
I'm familiar with everything you covered. What I was hoping you'd mention is how'd you get the "Antenna TV", "HDMI 1", etc apps on the main screen?? I have the Roku stick and I've never seen that.
you only see this on roku tv, not the standalone roku player.....have a good one!
@@jayallan7885 thanks for the clarification!!
My Roku boxes can’t be turned off unless I unplug them. Does it eat up bandwidth if it’s on 24/7?
My Roku does not have tv store how can I add this?
Good tutorial. 👍
I have a Roku player (Premier, I think) and I don't have some of the features you describe. I checked to make sure the software was updated and it is.
L Moore same here with my roku ultra. Like the pin. I know it’s there because I have a pin for mine. Just can’t figure out where to go to toggle it on and off

I looked for the Yahoo channel on my roku, but nothing came up. Search or scrolling free channels & nothing.
What would there be a charge for using Roku?
there is not charge,actually you can even download the app in your phone if you don't have the device or a smart TV
Roku options are different here in Canada....
How do you turn it off?

my Roku tv. The pc does NOT recognize the tv at all. BTW it is a desktop pc. I went into wifi

missing?
Set up Plex on your PC and download the Plex app on your TV
Saying not connected
Yes I got mine at Walmart why don't they have that I do have pin for adding channels
Wal-Mart is linked to the Vudu tv app. Perhaps that is why their devices have more limitations.
Why can't I find my favorite racing channels for Formula One, NASCAR, Indy, garage car shows? Where's all the channels? Roku only looks like it's for movies.
I had to get SlingTv to watch Formula 1 and Motogp. Formula 1 is on ESPN in the USA and Motogp is on BEIN Sports. There are other services that carry those services so do a little research
I would try to type on "search" your favorite channel name and see what pops up
Sooo is he born in 2012 or 2011
Basically u need internet for apps.
The fact that you want a video tutorial to operate this....
