Excellent video! Thanks for the deep dive onto so many features. Look forward to learning more. 👌

You are incredibly knowledgeable about Roku and I’m sure many other things too! Thank You! Lots of great stuff!

This video is a life saver for me as I have had a Firestick for my large tv and just recently purchased a ROKU tv for small bedroom. Major differences but this ole gal is never too old to learn new tricks!

"new tricks for this ole gal in a small bedroom"

Cool! Gave me some good hints even though I'm not interested in the more advanced features. Thanks.

I didn't realize there was a roku app with remote built in. This would have saved me a lot of frustration trying to type using the remote. Thank you.

I love my Roku a lot of people say fire stick is better. Thanks for the tips and tricks. You have explained it better than most of the KZreadrs?

Love learning more about my Roku TY 😀 Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦

Thank you ! My family cut the cable cord 1 month ago! I’m kicking myself for waiting so long!❤

Very good information. Explained very clearly, and without the unnecessary chattering about nothing important. Thank you sir.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever watched a KZread video and it actually worked! Yay for you..100 thumbs up!

Thank you so much for all info on Roku .

They’re great. But they lack 1 thing. Internet browsing. That’s where the Fire Stick prevails. You’ll only be able to mirror your device. Still a very cool and simple platform.

I just got my first Roku tv today from a lg and i love it thanks for this video

Thank you. Move channel was a blessing

Great video! Love Roku!

Hey... My account... email and password is recognized on the roku website... The Roku app did recognize it before... But... NOW it says: UNABLE TO SIGN IN EMAIL OR PASSWORD DOESNT MATCH OUR RECORDS... So I cant use the SAVED ITEMS FUNCTION and whatever else is available on the App

Great stuff Steve! Weird question for you! Can I program the remote so that it automatically goes to the Hulu app and a certain profile, my stuff, etc? My wife is challenged with navigation. She always wants to go to the Hulu app, her profile, her stuff and a particular program to watch until she goes to sleep! We have recently transitioned from cable TV to streaming. Before she could just turn on the TV and it would start where it left off channel wise or she could use the voice command to say "ID TV". Any way to automate that with the Roku 4K + device?

Great video. Any web browser for Roku?

You are the man! That worked!

Hey Steve, I've been a user of Roku for a super long time and I love the secret menus. Thanks for sharing. Q- is there a way to reduce the menus items on the left hand side or set up for disability, child, elderly person?

@nodak81

10 ай бұрын

(Settings > Homescreen) will let you choose which of the optional menu items you want on the left side of the screen. I turn most of them off to reduce screen clutter. There's a section for accessibility options as well. It can speak or do captioning. As far as parental controls, there really aren't any. You can use a PIN to stop kids from installing apps/channels but that's it. The best option is to have a second Roku account and a dedicated device just for the kids. Install kid-friendly apps and then lock it down with the PIN. You have to have a separate account because Roku doesn't allow different devices to have different apps/channels installed. If you change one device, it changes ALL devices linked to that account. I really wish they would change that.

This was such a useful video. I was today years old when I learned all of this. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so that I can now maximize my Roku use!

Ty for the video hope it helps me I’m done with cable just tv nroku

Brand new to Roku ! I added the streaming to her tv. She also plays her Xbox on this tv. Do you have a video showing how to switch inputs or is there a way to go straight to her Xbox port from the Roku remote? Super green with this technology. Thank you

Will the setting where roku won’t turn of work over night, that is when I like mine on in the bedroom? This is the best roku video I have seen, thank you so much

STEVE, Great video on Roku, I had to pause several times to rewatch & follow your instructions, Thank You for the info. Very Helpful. 😎😎👍, Would like to see you do a video on the Fire TV stick. I have watched a couple videos, but I think you would be more comprehensive.

Thanks for the information, much needed for me, you talk alittle fast but going back and hitting pause about 10 times I got it all down!...thanks

Hello and Thank You. I am needing help on how to change the mac address on the set up because I bought a new tv. Can you help?

Love the Roku free streaming app especially without the ads 😇, especially living in uk 😅

Excellent video probably to fast for someone maybe should be divided to two videos One simple use #2 for more technical use. Now my question is how to operate the tv remotely from different Network WiFi from different locations if u can make video for this specific connection I appreciated Thanks for all ur help😊

Really knows how to "dumb it down" for people like me who has had a hard time just learning this new language (cell speak) Is there any way you can explain how to make the green light on remote stop flashing? It's keeping me from being able to follow along. Thanks

Hello Steve. I am in Australia and I'm not sure where to go with my question. I have a Roku remote which has been supplied by Telstra (Australian company that provides phone and internet services) which supplies Telstra TV services. I have been watching videos on how to access more services via Roku and have found that my remote is standard to Telstra's offerings. Is there any way that I can over ride Telstra to get to more services? I guess Telstra will have a hold over this.... The Telstra TV service was under a 2 year contract which is well over. Hope you can help Thanks Glenice

Great stuff Steve ! I have the Roku 3 and Roku Ultra on our two TVs and use Spectrum for cable TV. We saved $22 by returning the two Spectrum boxes and remotes and now use our Roku remote to watch Spectrum cable. The only issue we have is changing channels is inconvenient without having the number buttons to allow you to enter a specific channel number. Are you aware of any devices or settings/tricks that will allow us to enter a channel number on Spectrum using our Roku remote ? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Jay

My Samsung TV was running the Spectrum app at a snail's pace natively. Plugging in a Roku stick and using the Spectrum app on that platform has made a world of difference; it scrolls very quickly. Since I watch the same 6-10 channels all the time, I just set them up as "favorites," and really don't miss the numeric keypad anymore.

The Roku 4K stick is still my favorite

Sadly, the app-based private listening has latency issues. These can be compounded by your device you loaded it on, and whether you used wired earphones or Bluetooth, and even variances in your internet speeds. The latency can be so bad as to make shows unwatchable: the mismatched voice sound with lip movements are worse that Japanese overdubbed movies from the 60's😂

How do I change my app tiles to look like yours, mine are the default small tiles?

I am hooking CD Audio into the RCA Audio inputs on TV. But it doesn't show up on home screen. TV input / settings has AV, its just not showing as available on home screen. Ideas?

Hi Steve, my Roku stick gets very hot, that it shuts down when I am watching. I unplugged it from the tv and left it in the usb,and still gets very hot. This can’t be normal. Any suggestions? Thank you. 4:24

I now cast KZread more and more due to Roku app force feeding way to many commericials. Even this podcast required me to watch several commericals before I could view it but on my notebook via youtube I was not forced to watch any commercials first. I don't know if KZread required Roku to broadcast more commercials or if it's just Roku being way to greedy but whatever the case find I myself using KZread on Roku less and less.. Makes me wonder just how much Roku is overly force feeding commercials in other apps they host..

Is there a way to slow the text so we can experience as we watch?

I have the roku express. How do I set it up so that the TV OFF shortcut actually works? I did it on my old one, but forgit how and now I can't find anything showing how..

Questions about security cameras. The only question I have for you.... when it is plug in 24 hours does it run up the electric bill? Do you get better video quality when you have plug in cameras like Blink mini plug in or Wyze plug in cameras? ve outdoor wireless cameras? which brand has better video quality better night vision and real time motion detector record time? Also there is a light bulb security camera you thoughts on those. I just saw one at someone house and the guy told me it move 360 degree and show me clear video. It screws in like a light bulb youwill change in a tradtion lamp.

Hey steve i got a question the question is how do I logout of someone's roku email with the roku TV and use my own email and password for my roku tv

So I have a Insignia tv but ruko sound bar. For some reason the app no longer shuts off my TV nor the sound bar remote.

Great are you using WiFi for your connection?

I’m new to Roku. Is there a way to set my device to automatically go to the last channel watched whenI turn Roku on?

Can you use it without Wi-Fi through a hotspot on an iPhone?

Followed the directions for secret screen and didn’t work. Do you need a newer updated roku for this to work?

Under Advanced Display Settings you need to set: > Auto-adjust Display Refresh Rate = ON > HDR Always On = OFF

hi i just found your video talking about outdoor security cameras and I have the blink mini wireless outdoor camera but it seems from different videos I watch that I should return it. I live in a rental so having wire camera system probably will not be allow. I can't even mount a Tv on the wall so I sure I can't wire drill into the wall. I look for clear video quality and record time with actual motion is being detected. Plus night vision. I thought to purchase extra motion light for that which camera is best. I still little bit confuse here on which brand to buy or take back my blink before it too late to return it. return date 1/15/23

For the life of me, I can't get the screensaver to show up on the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. When the TV is turned on, the screen is blank (actually, it displays a message on a blank screen about no source available). I have to hit the enter button on the Roku remote to wake up the stick, at which point it goes to the Roku home screen. With the Roku Ultra LT on our other TV, when you first turn the TV on, we see the screensaver (in our case, the fish aquarium).
