heads up, just bought a new roku tv, the remote wasnt responding so i returned it and bought a new bigger different brand but still had roku. remote stopped working after a day like the last one. i happen to notice it only does this when im charging my phone near the IR sensor on the tv... so yeah keep your phones away from your tv and it may solve your problem.

Just got a Roku streaming stick HD for my older Sony Bravia tv. Went through the remote setup, tried IR & CEC, nothing seems to be able to make the volume buttons work, but the power button works fine. I am very confused on why & how this is, can anyone help?

The title says it all, I've plugged my HDMI cable into both and it's stuck saying "Looking for a signal". I just got it today so is there something I'm missing?

Hi, my roku hiense tv has this very very glaring issue of some games/movies not having voice audio. That's not to say it doesn't have audio entirely, I can hear background music and sound effects, but when it comes to characters talking they themselves are completely silent. I tried watching kpop demon hunters and could hear the music and sound effects like sword slashes but not the characters speaking. I can throw a punch in Skyrim and hear the hit blow while the battle music plays but not the enemy yelling. Any help would be fantastic, thank you!

I often like to put Spotify on my tv with low volume while I sleep but don’t want the screen on as I find dark mode still can be too bright, I was able to turn off the display a few times before but now I can’t find the option to do that.

These TV's are generally not recommended because of their poor image processing. Has that improved with firmware updates over the past few months. I've been debating getting one with the current Amazon Visa cashback promo, but I'm hesitant if the image processing is still incredibly poor. Anyone have one of these TV's that can chime in?

Does anyone know an Alexa voice command that will start Backdrops on Roku? Some important info:

1. Yes, I have my Roku connected to my Alexa

2. I'm using a Vizio TV connected to a Roku Ultra

3. I understand that the TV must already be turned on in order to start Backdrops

4. I've already tried multiple different commands, such as "Launch Backdrops on Roku," "Launch the Backdrops App on Roku" etc. I just keep getting Alexa to say "Hmmm I can't seem to do that right now"

I really just want to be lazy and use a voice command to switch my TV to Backdrops when I'm not watching something.

When I watch Paramount+ it freezes & about a minute later my Roku reboots. I removed the app & restarted Roku & reinstalled Paramount+ & still happening. Anyone else having this issue?

i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this? i really dont want to buy a new since it was given to me by my late boyfriend and i really dont want to replace something he’s given me if i dont have too.

i tried resetting and unplugging so far and hasn’t gone away.

Anyone else espn app buffer after working for like 5 mins? It’s not my internet, I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling tried everything, I have no idea why it doesn’t work Netflix works just fine so do other video apps just not ESPN

Recently had Roku replace my old outdoor camera due to some issues. Then, got an email saying my free "premium" trial subscription was about to end. Since I never had a "premium" subscription or any subscription before, I ignored it. All I'd ever been interested in anyway was seeing the "events (snapshot)" that occurred. So, I was puzzled when all of a sudden, those events were no longer visible to me despite their visibility previously without subscription. Called Roku and they asked me whether I'd received email notifying me trial was about to expire & said I had but didn't think it applied to what I've had all along in the way of snapshots of events. I asked whether there had been a change in their service where you could not longer see events without subscription, unlike before, and they said there had been. Their email notification of trial ending was totally misleading, in that it never said anything about the change--only about what I would not longer get with "premium" subscription--nothing about the fact that I'd no longer have access to snapshots of events which I was getting with no subscription. Missed some important "events" as a result. I thought Roku was better than this.

Their email: "Your Roku Smart Home products will continue to work without a subscription. However, for premium features — like video recording, package alerts, and smart detection that lets you limit the number of notifications you receive — a subscription is required."

I was just laying on bed today, the room was quite, when I started hearing this very low volume high pitch noise followed by what sounds like static, every ~5 seconds or so. I tracked it down and it was my Roku charger, if I unplug it the noise goes away, but every time I plug it back, there it is again. It's very low volume, you have to be very close to it in a quite room. I checked another Roku I have at home, and there it was! same noise. What got my attention was that it is cyclic, not steady, it is happening to my two chargers, and the noise follows the exact same pattern. I never noticed it before until now, and I've had Roku devices for many years, but one of the devices I just tested I just bought it a month ago. I checked other chargers in my house, different brands, and none of them make any noise, only the Roku chargers. Did anyone else notice the same?

So I plugged my device into my child's TV( I no longer have the remote for the device) I thought I could use my roku tv remotes that I use on my living room and my bedroom tv but it doesnt work. I cannot navigate to even set it up or connect it to the internet. Is there a way to do it without having a to buy a new remote and if not where do I buy the correct remote because I had thia issue previously when I tried to set up on another tv and after buying 3 different remotes and none of them working I just stopped trying.

I got a Roku tv as a gift back in 2018. I created Peacock and Paramount+ accounts using Roku. Due to some personal issues, I had to make changes to my bank account and now I can't use Paramount+. It says to update my payment info but I am only allowed to do that through Roku. That tv malfunctioned two years ago and I no longer have access to that device. I cannot for the life of me remember what email I used to create my roku account. Am I screwed here? Is there any possible way to access my Roku account without an email? I don't want to create another Paramount+ account and be charged twice because I can't do anything about the Roku part.

Hey everyone, I’m new to making posts but not new to Reddit so bear with me.

I don’t know wth is going on, but when I remove the Roku Skill from Alexa app, and then go back and set it up and sign back into my Roku account through the Alexa app, it refuses to register that my Roku is a device on here. It fails to discover any of the Roku devices in my household(all of which are others’ TVs I’m only concerned with why mine won’t work). I’ve checked my tv settings and there isn’t a way to “Go Discoverable” to new devices and my phone automatically finds any and every nearby device.

If anyone else has came across this problem and has found a solution, please let me know. My specific brand is the Onn Roku tv. Thank you in advance. I don’t know if Roku and Alexa just aren’t compatible anymore or what

I'm trying to make an account for a new streaming stick I just bought, but when I click on register, it immediately throws me a "Sorry, we are not able to process your registration" thing, anyone knows how to fix this?

Does anyone have problem with Buffering with YouTube TV on Roku devices. I just upgraded my internet router and I still have buffering issues with YouTube TV. It only happens with YouTube TV on any Roku device. I’m not going to change my streaming devices because I already have so much invested in Roku devices.

I am looking for a tv for a guest bedroom. Due to where it will be, I want it to be as slim/flush to the wall as possible, and there is no furniture underneath to place a cable tv box etc. Wanted a frame tv type look, but don’t really need the art feature and not looking to spend that much, also would prefer to avoid cutting into the wall to hide boxes etc.

I was leaning towards a Roku TV as we have one in the master bedroom and like the integration, but Roku tv models are limited and I’m struggling to find a reasonably priced ultra slim option.

Not opposed to buying any tv and plugging in a Roku stick (I use one for travel and it’s fine) but sometimes there are issues with the Roku remote operating the tv. Don’t want to have this issue especially where guests will be using the tv. Perhaps it’s not as much of a potential issue as I’m worried about…

Any suggestions? Under $500, under 50”, ultra slim tv that will definitely work with the Roku remote (if using separate tv/roku stick)?

Have one device that stopped connecting to WiFi. Moved one device that was working fine to the same tv and now it no longer connects to WiFi. There was an alert that says poor connectivity. But after taking both devices next to the WiFi and connecting both are no longer able to connect. And there’s another two more back in the same area that are NOT having any issues. Just the original to the tv and a new one that no longer works as well. We have tried all the reset g WiFi and devices. Moving closer to WiFi. They just don’t work after both being plugged into a tv. Which doesn’t make sense as the tv isn’t where the WiFi is coming through.

As the title suggests, on both YouTubeTV and peacock, as soon as I click something the whole tv shuts off.

The tv and all apps are up to date. They’ve been closed and opened again. The WiFi has been reset. The power save settings have been turned off and on and off and everything to test it

My Wellinghouse Roku tv has been image ghosting for a while now. Sadly, it started early into the purchase and only lasted a few minutes and would go away. Now it seems like it takes an hour to correct itself and is EXTREMELY annoying when it comes to watching tv or playing a video game (near impossible). I tried factory reset as well as unplugging it. Again, it only lasts for so long and then stops but is very frustrating. What do I do? No HDMI wires, just WiFi.

I only use the Roku voice command for speech to text in search fields.

Often the Roku remote voice command will return a result of “that feature is not supported”.

For example, one cannot enter into a YouTube search command “Chicago weather”. The fool thing tells me it’s not supported. I am 100% not asking my Roku what my Chicago weather is going to be! I am attempting to accomplish speech to text within a search field!

Another fun one is asking it how to turn off an Apple iPhone feature. In no universe am I expecting my Roku to be able to control my iPhone. I’m simply trying to enter voice to text in a search field.

It is quite infuriating!

Is there a way to turn off a setting somewhere so that the voice command is only speech to text?

In no universe do I want to use the voice command for anything other than typing exactly what I say into a search field.

Long-time Roku user/subscriber here... We've got a mess of the "regular" channels (Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, BritBox, even Paramount+... and Disney+ and Hulu). No cable or satellite. No broadcast stations.

We don't watch sports much at all. But in a few weeks we'll have family staying with us which will definitely want -- need -- to watch, who knows, college football, soccer, pro football, baseball, pretty much name it, it's on their radar. So I figured I can just add a channel here and there on a trial basis ahead of time so they can get their fix.

We never bundled any of our existing channels through the major front ends, just added them one at a time. So we've got separate Hulu and Disney+ accounts, say: if we want to watch Hulu, we just select that channel, don't go through the Disney+ portal. I see that the latter has an option to add "ESPN Everything" or whatever it's called, but it seems that's got to be part of a package deal with Hulu in the mix too?

Advice? Thanks in advance!

EDIT TO ADD: I see a similar question from just a few days ago. But we have AT&T Fiber, not Spectrum, so we can't subscribe through our ISP.

Can i seriously not log into someone else's account without doing an entire factory reset on the device? What is the reasoning for this?

Help needed please. I currently use a Fire Stick. I do have quite a few streaming services. I've eliminated all the free/unknown channels, but I haven't been able to use Max or Disney since they updated - if I'm not stuck in an endless loop I get an error message to delete services to make room for the update. I don't want to delete my primary services which are the only services I have left on the #$% stick. What other devices are out there that I can safely put Hulu, Netflix, Prime, etc. and not have to worry every time they update that I won't have enough space. PS I already have a sim card on the Firestick. Thanks in advance!!
