I have had Roku since 2008 when they first came out. Upgraded several times and this video has taught me about features i never knew about. Thank You!

i really love their app. the way you can bookmark shows and channels is awesome. i also use the remote on the app a lot.

I'm glad this video popped up in my YouTube feed, I just ordered my Roku box system and this will help me set it up properly right away. Thank you so much, I can't wait for it to get here.

I never think to use the Roku app. There are some great tips here. Thank you.

Thanks for these, especially avoiding the oji board typing nightmare. I already use the "private listening" to transfer sound to my JBL Charge 4 as my 32" Sony tv does not have great speakers and the JBL is very crisp and clear and I can put the speaker closer to me than the tv.

Have had a Roku Ultra for years, just three of the tips I've used are removing apps, moving apps and to a lesser degree vote on channel. Seems I had a upgraded ff, from start of paid advertising to end of advertising is a snap.

Private listening tip was worth this video. When hubby is cooking, I want to watch TV and want my earbuds. Great tip!

[Audiomainia]

Thx so much - I have the app and love it but you've taught me a bit more / much appreciated!

[zakaroonetwork]

Thanks. I bought a TCL 50”Roku with your link. And I love

You can also use the private listening to connect your roku to a Bluetooth speaker/sound system. We just recently used this for our outdoor theater set up and it worked perfectly!

[suzannecoffman]

You had me at "organize the apps." Thanks!

[michellewinter]

Thanks so much for the info on the private listening. I didn't know about that :)
