The only thing you got wrong is that you do not give your guests the guest keycode. The keycode keeps them from accessing your tv settings as you would want them. Even worse, they could commandeer the tv, change the code and lock you out. The keycode is meant for the tv owner to use so they can toggle guests mode on and off. The guest only needs to *log in* as a guests and select their check-out date. The guests will have to log into each app/streaming service individually with their own account login details. Great video!
Tried Firestick - way too many ads / and Alexa is ALWAYS listening, so I stay away from any Amazon product. ( and it's already been proven even if you manually disable Alexa it still listens - a real privacy issue for me ) . Roku had over double the amount of apps to download than Firestick. Only thing Roku doesn't have is Dolby Atmos - which I'm sure will be coming in the near future.
Thank you for going through the menus. I have the 4k + Roku express. I do not have to aim my remote directly at the unit. I can turn my back on the unit and aim towards the opposite wall and it works. I can aim through my laptop screen. (laptop on and open) while sitting about 3 feet from the unit and it works. I can walk about twenty feet down the hallway, walk into the bathroom and close the door. It still worked. I have an older 720p tv. I wonder why yours needs direct aim?
i have a smart tv (LG) and wanted the spectrum app which it doesn't support so i am buying a roko, newbie to roku and your video is the best i have seen to learn about roku. thank you very much
Very clear instructions. My TV is connected to cable through coax. I was able to get around the roku problem with OTA/pushed stations in Live TV by creating a copy of live tv and naming it OTA. Are you aware if this will work to turn to specific over the air channels? I.e. so someone can say " A. Turn my livingroom tv to channel 53." Or "A. Open favorites on my livingroom TV. Load Favorites "Heroes and Icons"?
Thanks for sharing. Just a quick question, I recently purchased the roku 4K stick. I am having a hard time adding the cinema app. Do you know if you can download the cinema app with roku, or is it only compatible with the firestick? Thanks
The ads are content you can watch by clicking on the ad. This menu anyone can access but the real hidden menu is accessed with star, up, down, and side arrows if you know the sequence.
I don't know if it's because you're in Canada or using a Roku premiere, but on os 11.5.0 build 4235 like you have there should be 7 options to add to the menu on the home screen such as. What to watch, featured free, live tv, the buzz, sports, my feed and my offers. Keep making videos because I really like your channel. Thanks
Is there a way to get around the need to use the special HDMI cable supplied with the Roku? If you use a HDMI cable that doesn't have EVERY pin connected or if you use older HDMI equipment, the Roku wont work!
On the big Roku units you can use any hdmi cable you have. It will test the cable and TV and set it up for the best picture resolution that the cable and TV support. The top Ultra version will support up to 4k Dolby Vision and if everything is compatible with that mode that's what it picks. You can also manually pick the resolution and it will show a does it work screen for like 15 seconds then revert back to the original settings if you don't hit yes. I haven't used the stick versions so they probably have the special cables but the full sized units can use any hdmi cable you have.
my problem is while watching long running sports events. Right at 4 hours my roku auto logs me out right in the middle of my event. I had this feature disable before I did a factory reset of my roku device but can't find it after the rest... PLEASE HELP!!
I have the Roku Express 4K+ and he is incorrect about having to point the remote directly to the device. I can point in the general direction and it works fine. 11:34
The title is misleading. None of these are the "hidden" settings. This was just a basic run through the general regular old settings. There are hidden settings but this video doesn't go over those at all.
I'm in Hungary, have sn Ultra and don't have search, featured free nor save list. Would you expect such? While I have and Amazon prime and HBO ourchased locally (as they ste available here) these were never offered by the Roku. Would you expect that? Finally, would it make sense to get a VPN and if so should I get a separate router?
His Roku must be newer than mine. Followed him step by step, yet most my stuff is in different areas. Can’t even find display type, to go to 1080 or 4K
It would provide a new type of business appearance for what's used as successful tirante and specials, obviously a lot of typical engineering is recognizable of course it's called assets of inventory.

I am connected and can view TV can't get rid of the Roku message "I can't reach the internet, Check your connection and try again." Can you suggest a way for me to get rid of this message?!
I found out Step 1: Plug a USB-compatible storage device into your TCL TV's USB port. Step 2: Navigate to the channel you want to pause and record, then press your TV remote's Options button. Step 3: Next, head to Live TV Pause
Probably depends on the TV and your luck. I have a 2019 65 825 mini LED TCL and it's been pretty flawless and has worked and looked great since I got it in February 2020. It was their uber top end set but no problems so far.
Wat in the world did they do to the weather channel, "WeatherNation?" They have messed it all up, and now the channel is so screwed up, you cannot even understand the weather report! If you have any suggestions, or can offer any assistance, I would really appreciate it so much! Thank you!!

Roku sucks. There are no features in the world that can replace the simple functions like turning on the TV. And Roku has a problem doing the common things. Do not buy.
I love my Rokus - Roku Ultra for my old plasma TV in the living room and my TCL 32" Roku TV in my office which doubles as a computer monitor. Some of the best purchases I ever made.
@@StefenTower Give it some time. And I'll guarantee that you'll be considering which sheet rock and tape you'll buy after staring at the big hole that you left in your wall.

ROKU provides the convenience and access to cable company set-top box content without the set-top box. It is easy to set-up and easy-to-use. Now, if you are burdened with having to do anything more than just turn on the TV, then antenna-based content will be the best solution for you.

The Roku premiere isn't supported by Roku anymore. That's why you're missing features

The roku remote sucks? Not compared to the AppleTV one sorry 😝
Fair
I I have a Roku ultra
My onn TV is the shittiest Roku I've ever owned lol
Apple air play is great
Can’t I just turn it on with my Xfinity remote and not have to get off of the Home Screen using that shit Roku remote?
If your TV has roku built in, you can change it under power settings, so the TV automatically turns on the input that you want
This isn't new for 2023
So where is this HIDDEN Roku Settings you were talking about? CLICK BAIT!
Ugh
