For another, many TVs don't have bluetooth support, and have a limited number of composite out and headphone jacks anyways.

I got a Roku (That I guess I really over paid for), while visiting the US recently. Given it was the Cheap 40$ dongle thing, that costs less than 20€s here for. It never had a Headphone Jack. My nVidia Shield Pro (2015), Remote however does. Though TBF the Roku Express is very pocketable, unlike the Shield. Hopefully I'll be able to get my VPN Service off my Phone, and into the wider LAN soon to take advantage of having a US based Roku. Again not nowing that that side was less Hardware, and more of an Internet Setup side, of it.

@AlbertaStrength There is plenty of free Channels on Roku as well as the major Streaming Services. Besides the Roku Channel, and the movies to be found there-in it also has Pluto TV, which is more or less the same thing. As someone who has used an nVida Shield (Android TV), these last five years. I have to say, that I find the UI, of the Roku to be more simplistic, and less cluttered than that of Googles Android TV Platform.

You can find almost anything and Roku does a pretty good job at giving you all the options within roku. Many times do you guys find yourself in this scenario.. you just watched the great show you kind of remember the name but you do not remember the app that you watched it on. This is when this feature is very helpful.

You may want to add an extra disclaimer to the private channels section or just remove it entirely. Roku shutdown/removed all the private channels back in February and replaced it with a beta system that limits the amount of users. There may be a few that seem like they can be added but they will just bring you to a 404 page when you try to add them.

The main factor for choosing my first Roku device was the private listening option. I was trying to choose between the Amazon 4k stick and the Roku 4k stick, both on sale for around $25 on black Friday sales, but couldn't decide on one. I then found the Roku Ultra Lt with the headphone jack built into the remote for $30. As someone who is on a different sleep schedule than everyone else in my house this was the best choice for me, well worth the extra $5. I haven't gotten around to using it much yet though. (The main reason for even getting a streaming device in the first place was so I could turn my gaming consoles off when I just want to watch something, but so far I've noticed some negatives using the Roku. I'm not sure if it's the device being used or the company behind the app, but one of the main ones I watch (free with ads) has many more ads on the Roku compared to my xb1, which kind of partially defeats the purpose of getting the Roku in the first place as I'll probably stick with console to watch it.)

Wow I already knew this stuff. You forgot to mention for blind people, I am blind, but specifically blind people who are totally new to the roku and just got it, there is a screen reader. If you showed that in another video, great! But if you haven't, well, then, other blind viewers might be confused because they didn't know it had a screen reader. Since you're not blind, you might not be used to a device reading something to you, it will drive you crazy, but the screen reader is there for a reason, it's because there are blind people who use it. It needs to be accessible with screen readers, and luckily, it is. I've played around with these things. Hopefully you understand the accessibility needs for us blind people, and can possibly make a video to other blind people about how to use the roku with a screen reader. Unfortunately, for those who are blind and speak more than one language, the roku only supports english for the screen reader, but that really doesn't matter to me, because I only speak english. But yes. It is accessible. You press the star button for times to turn it on, and the same to turn it off. I do get frustrated when I have to use a virtual keyboard with it, because I hate virtual keyboards! LOL

I have been using a Roku ultra since 2014. I didn’t know I could customize the menu like I could the icons!! Nice!! I also use the app. Yes a must download. Also I you have AirPods, put your AirPods in, open the app and hit the audio button!! Your tv in your AirPods!! Use it all the time!! Another thing I use wireless display. On a windows 10 computer right click on the desktop and go to display settings/ down at the bottom click connect to a wireless display. It search’s and the Roku will show up as long as you are on the same network and your computer is now on your Roku. Works perfect for throwing something on your tv from your computer.

They removed the Private Listening feature for the Roku 3. It was working really well initially but then they decided to remove it without giving any reason.

Hi, I enjoyed the information. I have a question, I am staying at a hotel and the instruction tells me to use direct-roku-jcf-d85cb9 snd password 1551181 but all the instructions say missing jcf-d85cb9, so the instructions are for setup, so what do I do

I just bought the Roku Streambar and I am wondering if I can run my tv sound through it, i.e. watching regular tv like a sound bar and not the just Roku? I can't figure it out if so.

Hi my question: If I have the Roku app on my tablet does that mean I have an up-to-date Roku software? TY.

Thanks for sharing. I've had my Roku no more than 2-weeks and just this weekend when I decided to hook up the soundbar and subwoofer to my tv I ended up damaging the tv.

Do the Roku's remote's FF and RW buttons perform the same way in a different app? I noticed with my old normal tv remote, it would behave differently in Prime versus Netflix (fast forwards normally in one app, then goes to the next video in another app, or goes forward one frame at a time etc. with the same button), I wish to have one where the buttons behave the same way for all the apps. Do you know of a streaming hardware/stick that does? thanks
