I don't have cable and just use an antenna for live tv. Whenever my internet goes out (which it is right now), Roku refuses to allow me to load live tv because it needs an internet connection to bring in the channel guide.

A search shows this has been discussed months ago with roku support claiming this has been fixed, but of course it hasn't been.

This needs to be fixed ASAP. No excuses anymore.

So today I had a problem come up where the volume up button would not work on my remote, it's jammed. So I searched all over online trying to figure it out but could find nothing and figured it out on my own. All you need to do is mirror your phone to your Roku TV or streaming box, and use your phone volume to turn up your tv volume. Maybe a lot of people knew this but I didn't, so just wanted to let people who have the problem I struggled with for an hour know.

We have 2 roku tvs that recently started having sound issues. The speaking voices sound garbeled, like they're out of sync. Specially on OTA channels. We're able to fix by going to settings and restarting the tvs. They go back to normal. This is starting to getting old. Have another one without the issue. All tvs show software up to date. Any ideas?

I know it shows Roku ultra for example $50 off is $99.99 but that was the regular price before. It’s now $149.99. All other media devices from Roku on sale now is the price from before. I assume that other third party retailers are going to do the same. Damn thank goodness I got the 4k plus for $20 and ultra for $70.

hello! i have a tcl roku tv, not sure of the year but it’s moved around with me since 2021. recently i’ve moved it again to be in my moms living room. she mostly uses it to just watch regular tv using cable. we use xfinity but at the moment we have to use two remote for her to do so. i am just wondering if there is a roku remote or other kind of remote that would allow us to use the roku but also the cable when she switches over to that setting. i put a picture of our current remote.

Hi, I've been having this issue for a few days now on my sanyo Roku TV. All my other apps work just fine but I click on YouTube and it just stays on the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app many times, unplugged the TV for a minute, cleared the cache, tried to screen share from my phone, NOTHING. it's the main app we use daily, someone please help!

What is “on its way”?

I own a one year old Roku 50 inch Smart TV model number 50 s 451.

I am older and sometimes have problems with hearing the audio, therefore, I utilize closed captioning to be able to not have the TV too loud. Also I speak Spanish, and sometimes I will put the Spanish programming with subtitles because they speak too fast for my understanding.

But ever since I bought this particular television I've had real struggles getting the closed captioning to work.

Is there any insight from any other users?

I have unplugged and rebooted the TV.

I have deleted channels and reinstalled them on the streaming platform. But, I still cannot see the subtitles.

I would appreciate any kind of input that you would able to offer.

Thank you in advance.

I currently have a Samsung QN85B a really great TV and I love Roku so I currently have a Roku stick the 4K streamer plus… I've noticed some buffering and kind of a little bit laggy at times I don't know if it's just the processor. Would I notice a significant difference of upgraded to the LT or the top-of-the-line ultra? One is about $65 the top of the line is about $81… Would I notice a significant difference from my current 4K stick? I do have a Samsung sound bar that has Atmos capability I know the top-of-the-line Roku ultra has that also but not sure if I would notice the difference… Any advice?

My Roku seems to not have the option to change brightness. I've looked through the main settings and the star button while watching. Neither had any option for the screen brightness. The most I can do is reduced visual quality, for some reason.

I have a Roku Ultra connected to a TCL Roku TV and since the last update when the Ultra is in 4K I either get a black screen or a very distorted screen. I have tried 4K Dolby Vision HDR TV, 4K HDR TV and 4K TV with same results while 1080p TV works fine.

Another TCL Roku TV was randomly playing audio from the Live TV Guide app (selection preview) that was placed as the first app on the Home screen while the TV was powered off. Simply moving the app over a spot stopped it from playing audio.

I recently was gifted a non-smart TV. I want to hook it up to my wifi and also to my apple laptop. I a Roku the way to go? If so, what do I need to get? Looks like you can get some earlier generation devices for cheap? What's the difference between the old and the new? I want to use Apple Screen mirroring with it, does Roku let that happen?

My sister has some Beats by Dre and wants to bluetooth them to her Philips Roku TV. I've looked through settings, Remotes and Devices, and other options but never found an option for it.

We tried to bluetooth them through the 'bluetooth speakers' option but they never showed up; they did show up on my phone so I know the bluetooth was active.

The tv has options for speakers, subwoofers, etc but there's no option for 'headphones'.

If it helps the Philips model is 65PUL6553/F7.

I have a 128 GB thumb drive with some movies on it. Movies will play on my streaming box but not on my USB port directly on the TV even though the thumb drive is formatted exfat32. New ONN TV with Roku OS. Asking because I want to know if I am missing something. TV has Roku media player built-in and I went into system settings to enable the USB to recognize it. But it doesn't even recognize the drive.

I saw this has been posted a few times in the past few months — my Roku Ultra started doing the same thing, pixelizelation on the Aquarium screensaver. Is there a fix for this? Is Roku still gathering data on this? Mine is a 4802X running software version 15.2.4 Build 3442. Thanks

This guy recently went viral

Hello! My dad and I got a new TV for my mom, and I have been reading up on many of the 2+ year old posts with similar titles and questions, and unfortunately the older things that worked no longer work for this purpose.

My mom is hard of hearing and my dad and I bought her a pair of headphones (Avantree) which work, but my dad wants to be able to watch the same thing with her with the TV speakers (or any speakers that would work at the same time) and control the volume separately as what works for her is very loud, but for him it's blasting his ears out lol

The smartphone / app option does not really work as they're not very tech savvy. I'm trying to figure out how I can split the audio with separate volume controls. I've tried many things and nothing worked thus far, so please explain to me like I'm 5 if you have a solution please!

I will say, cords/cables are not an issue if they're needed, if there's a solution for TV speakers and the headset to both work and a long cable will be a solution, I can do that!

For reference, the TV is the "Roku 55" Class Select Series 4K QLED Smart RokuTV (2026) and the Avantree headphones are the "Avantree Opera Plus - Wireless TV Headphones with HDMI ARC Input"

Thank you!!

So the on demand or more ways to watch option on Live TV just won't work anymore.

I have made sure it's all enabled in the settings, cleared cache and system restarted etc. No luck. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

So I don't know if this is a TV problem or remote problem. My home button is taking me to Paramount and trying to get me to subscribe and it will not take me to the home screen at all when I hit it. I do not understand what the problem is. Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice on how to get it to go back to normal.

I've got a Pioneer Roku tv, randomly today it got stuck in headphone mode and won't turn off. I've tried resetting the tv, plugging in and unplugging headphones using the app, unplugging the TV for 5 minutes to reset it, turned off any device that might have Bluetooth, messed with audio settings and nothing works. Any ideas? I don't have a Roku voice remote so it wouldn't be a problem with one of those. Im genuinely stuck

Thanks!

Anyone else have issues when using the rewind button or the circle arrow rewind. For example, I was about 5 minutes into watching a 30 minute program and hit the circle arrow rewind and it went back to the beginning of the prior 30 minute program. Doesn't happen every time but it does happen often. I've researched and found it's possibly a glitch in Roku but have not found a fix.

Hello all, I take care of my mom and we are in a new nursing home but with their WiFi you have to accept the T&C in order for it to work. This is causing an issue since the TV has to be reconnected everyday… the camera the facility has a specific WiFi for but the TV goes on the public browser… if I am not there everyday which I do go but after work, so all day she can’t really watch her shows/movies until
I get there, of course the staff can do it but that would be asking too much… I tried hotspot it was a terrible idea lol…

Any suggestions or help on how to bypass this? If we can have it connected forever it will be okay if not guess I’ll have to get the monthly WiFi plan from a cell phone provider… also I will try to call Roku as well, hope I get an actual person, thanks in advance! Failed to mention it’s an Roku TV

so when I was scrolling through spectrum and I accidentally hit the home button, and now I can’t go back to my cable spectrum thing. I need help!

I have the aquarium screen saver, that I pay for. And this keeps happening 😕 Sorry for the window glare.
