• New to Roku after finally cutting the cable cord, 2 questions.

  "Question 2: I bought two Roku Ultras" - You activate both Rokus on the same account on roku.com. I've had a Roku Ultra for some time and recently bought a Roku Express 4K for the guest bedroom for visiting relatives. When I activated the new Roku on my account it automatically duplicated all my apps on to the new one. But test each app, a few required me to log in on the new Roku. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any fellow coders out there familiar with ripping encrypted HLS streams? I've found a site that is using every protection in the book to prevent stream ripping and would love to chat

  Can something similar be done on roku.com? I tried following your steps for this video https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/67ca18fb4816521db4f188855569c21e but I noticed the type is not hls but mp4. There was a file that started with index instead of ending with index but much more complex then the sample video used in the example above. Source: over 1 year ago

• Just got this 50” roku sharp tv and tried setting up last night only to be met with this message everytime i try to click a channel. It’s saying there’s an “excellent” internet and wifi connection and yet nothing works on it. i have tried everything in the book including 2 factory resets i’m lost

  Did you reset the device & re-set it up on roku.com to be 'owned' by you? Source: over 1 year ago

• No Search Bar?

  Certain features will be missing in unsupported countries. You can see our list of supported countries by navigating to roku.com and trying the county selector option at the bottom right hand of the page. Source: over 1 year ago

• Unauthorized Roku charges through my Paypal account.

  Easier said than done with an elderly parent, but have your mom go to roku.com, reset her password, and give you the password. Then you should be able to go in and remove any payment method (presumably your PayPal), cancel any subscriptions, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I record OTA TV

  Roku for OTA TV DVR, with lifetime guide service. Easy to use with a cable-like guide. Not cheap, but worth it, IMO, if you want simple. I've had one for 5 years. roku.com or weaknees.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Saw some person on twitter losing it over a remote.

  A few weeks ago, I wanted to get 2nd remotes for all my Rokus, and my experience was that the Voice Remote Pro is sold out everywhere, and the Voice Remote (non-pro) isn't available at any physical stores but was available on roku.com or amazon (but with a limit of 4). Source: about 2 years ago

• Gifted TV - what channels available where?

  If you go to roku.com there will be apps you can download with free streaming content, usually not great content, usually with lots of ads and the apps tend to be buggy. But roku does also have "Live TV" Channels essentially like a streaming equivalent of broadcast TV. Source: over 2 years ago

• I just found a Roku stick in a discarded VCR, can I set this up (as in for the first time) without a Wi-Fi remote or is that needed.

  The very cheap "Roku" remotes that you get on Amazon are mostly non-original IR remotes -- you will need an actual Roku RF remote to get this to work, so OP needs to be careful to get the remote from Amazon due to the many fake remotes, and it would probably be better to get one from roku.com directly or borrow a friends for the setup.

• Not trying to block ads on Roku TV I just want it to work period

  I have exhausted the "fixes" I have found. I feel like I'm missing something completely obvious in the Pihole config itself, but everything I find has to do with nuking ads on the home screen. I just simply want it to work at all. I have whitelisted everything I can think of roku.com related. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there new roku wireless speakers coming out?

  They just restocked at roku.com and a few other retailers! Placed my order yesterday and should be shipping out soon. Source: about 3 years ago
