Very nice "How-to"... simple and direct. You now have a fan!
Excellent Roku tips. I've been using the Roku and Firestick smartphone apps for a while. It helps with complex passwords, emails, and if your batteries are dead in the regular remotes.
I am so glad my son forwarded your You Tube Roku help to me! You really helped me!! I tried last night to “wing it” & I didn’t find much to watch that wasn’t for tweens or younger. I will follow you! Thanks.
Just on time! Very much needed information! Received a Roku tv for Xmas and find it super complicated! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Love getting TIPS with new equipment. This guy was so helpful and I will probably revisit the video several more times. THANK YOU!!
Your videos are extremely helpful for Roku beginners as well as for cord cutters. Thank you for your tips.
Thank you for sound leveling info. Most appreciative of your very helpful posts.
I always use sound leveling anymore.
I started using it when I was watching HBO MAX and the voice was almost inaudible, but the others sounds were really loud.
It made the audio MUCH better.
Now I never turn it off.
Thank you, very helpful tips.
I so enjoy your segments for ROKU. So helpful!
Thanks for the tips the one on sound setting.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Great tips thanks for sharing
Sound leveling is really cool. Love roku and your content
Mine doesn't pull up sound leveling? Why?
Fantastic video! I’m loving the Roku. You make it so much easier to understand how to use and navigate all the features. Thank you thank you thank you 👍
Whatdo you do for an X box. Please
VERY helpful and clear. Thanks very much.
9:14 is very important, and I was waiting to see if you would mention it. Imagine buying a new large Smart TV for an older person with poor eyesight, but they don't care about streaming, and don't want to learn how to navigate it. You can set it to automatically turn on to TV mode so they can watch their old antenna reruns and not get lost!
💯
Mnn

How old is an older person! I do have glasses! I just have a bad back! lol Do I have to have an antenna? I have a wifi connection.

I'm not sure if you can go through your roku like that, but you can connect your laptop to your TV with an hdmi cable and watch them that way.
I currently have a Roku express. I want to upgrade to the Roku Ultra. Do I need to re-download all my current apps the the new device?
How do you change stations or go back a few stations. Like if your on station 176 how do you go back to station 7 with out hitting the arrow back through all the stations
Where can I get support? I lost roku connect to TV when TV had to be rebooted thus morning. Roku remote can turn on TV again but screen is frozen on get ESPN screen. U tried connecting advice...remove stick, removed remote batteries replug stick but never saw bouncing roku to connect
QUESTION: I have a Roku device on one TV. I know how to make a "Favorites" menu. But on my other TV, it has "Google Live TV" pre-installed. I do not have a Roku Device installed on that TV. However, I did download the "Roku Channel" appl. This lets me watch all the Roku Live Channels on my Hisense Google TV. Is there a way for me to specifically enter channel numbers or create a "Favorites" number rather than using the up/down arrows? The Hisense Google TV remote does not have "number" buttons and does not have an "asterisk" button for "Favorites."
Thanks
The Power On can no longer be adjusted to go directly to an app. Tried doing that today 11/8/22 while watching your video. That would have been nice though.
Hi, I have the older Roku Express and can only get vertical lines and audio when I choose a movie etc. Is it broken or is there a way to fix it.
Does anyone know how to stop roku from adding channels, or attempting to add channels to my homepage. Every time I leave one channel, and especially when roku decides to take me out of youtube back to the homepage?
And I cannot thank you enough for showing how to turn off that blankety-blank menu click!
Do you have to pay for the roku app? I downloaded the free one from the official website but I am unable to see the volumn and I cant scroll down can youplease help?
what wall mount brackets did you purchase?
Thanks for your tips very helpful. My husband watches sport channels and he wants to add fubotv , but he forgot the PIN number. How can he find PIN number?
I would like to knoe about my pin as well.
I ordered a Roku stick for my Vizio set and would like to know how to change the television inputs so I can use the disc player. Everything I see is using a TCL Roku which is pointless for me. Firestick I only have to use the voice and say switch input or the port I want to change to. So how do you switch tv inputs with Roku? That would be a tip I could use not screen themes.
I have a Samsung Smart 3d TV.I would like to add Roku to it now.I have it hooked to my home theater system with my stereo receiver.Is this going to work? Please reply.

Hey I have had a Roku TV for 2 years and know it doesn't turn on I tried everything but it doesn't work do you know any tips or tricks to get it started
When I purchased my little Roku, I thought I would be able to play my poker and pool apps on it. I hooked up that hadi or whatever it's called, but I'm lost on what it does. I'm also getting huge bills from my WiFi company that I can't afford. I usually only watch UA-cam but now I hardly turn my tv on. Any suggestions? Also, I thought the little red button in the upper right corner is turning my tv off. If not, maybe that's why I'm using too much Wi-Fi. TYVM.
Question: I have a TCL series 6 Roku Tv and was having surround sound issues (CEC/HDMI). I found an obscure post saying their Chromecast was messing with the CEC/HDMI and having no sound coming from the speakers. They said they just removed the Chromecast device (HDMI) and now the surround sound was working. Well, I tried this tip and yes, it worked. My surround sound is now functioning. Before the CEC stated “no devices located”…now it sees the SONY Receiver. Do you know why this would be? And how I can hook up my Mii Box with Chromecast and still have sound through the receiver/speaker system? I’m stumped.
These TCL flatscreen Roku TVs occasionally go crazy. You could try doing a complete factory reset located in the system's menu. Mine one day for no good reason decided that I had no WiFi.
@@MrJgohde Thanks for taking the time to kindly respond. I have tried the factory reset. And you’re right that is a good way to troubleshoot a problem. I haven’t had any audio (CEC/HDMI) issues since I’ve taken the Android box w/Chromecast off my TCL ROKU TV system via the TCL’s HDMI. I don’t understand why connecting the Chromecast/Android box via HDMI would cause a audio issue with my TV. It’s just weird.
I have a Phillips roku tv and cannot get the commercial volume at the same level as the TV shows like on the roku app. How do I get the volume to sound the same as the TV shows?
I bought a Roku TV because of what they are doing to help prevent Human Trafficking! I will always support ethical brands
