The lack of a guide was one of the main reasons we put off cutting the cord as long as we did. So happy we found this on ROKU. Awesome feature.

I want to thank you I’m a 59-year-old woman did you know much of technology but you help me I thought I needed to buy a new TV thank you for helping me put back my TV together. I love watching YouTube and when I didn’t see the logo on my TV I freaked out, when I seen you and you helped me through just buy a Blink of that I usually all these apps and what to do and how to fix in etc. are so difficult for me but you made it easy kiss by a blink of the eye thank you so much it’s just hard for me to understand because I’ve had several strokes and I have to brainstorm but with your videos the way you explain everything it’s as easy as 123. Thank you God bless you and your family.😊🎉❤

New cord cutter here and reviewing all things Roku. You just got a new sub, and thank you for all that you bring us ❕👍👍

Thank you so much for what you do. After getting a $315.00 bill from Xfinity last month it was time to put a stop to the madness. You have been an invaluable source of information and help. Love the information on the guide. That will help my wife deal with cutting the cord. Thanks again.

Thank you for all the informative content. I’ve recently dumped cable and enjoying the cord cutting life. Have a Roku, Apple TV, and an Xfinity stream box. Keep up the great work.

I use the search option regularly. Great tip!

Roku user here in Australia, thanks for the great tips.

Great tips! Just wanted to add that I use Airplay on my Roku player to add a second screen to my MacBook. I also sync YouTube on my iPhone to the YouTube app on my Roku over the Internet. I use this to hand my viewing back and forth as I go about my day.

I definitely use Roku Search feature. You can also use the little microphone on the remote and speak the show or movie your looking for.

One other great thing with Roku built into a TV (mine is an older Insignia) is that you can install a 32GB USB Flash drive and be able to rewind up to an our an a half from OTA antenna signals. But, you have to be on that channel for that long. It's a great feature if you don't have an OTA DVR and you can plan ahead.

The roko search also lets you search by actor, which is really cool if want to see list of movies by person.

Another great feature of the live TV channel guide you can go into settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Manage Channels and hide the stations you never want to watch. For instance, I don't speak Spanish, and we have about 6 or 8 Spanish channels. I do not understand, so I hide them with another 6 or 8 stations I won't watch. It keeps the guide nice and clean, displaying only the channels I'll watch.

You are very smart thank you for all the great tips and I love this channel

The biggest thing I found by accident that I can use the remote app to stream sound to my iPhone or iPad and then use my earbuds to listen to TV. I’m hard of hearing and it really helps.

[SilverSergeant]

I use the ROKU search function a lot. It really is good.

My two main streamers are Roku, and Apple TV. I use some music services as well. For those The Apple TV is the better choice, especially for spatial audio support on Apple Music. For movie and TV streaming, I think they're about the same personally. I typically switch if one has a feature the other doesn't, or one is having problems with a particular service. As a non streaming solution, I also have a couple of 4K Blu-ray players for offline viewing. I also own a 2019 NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, but currently have factory reset it and put it out of the way as it's not currently in use.

I recently replaced my older Roku Ultra model 4660, with a 2022 4802, to have the latest hardware. The older one is working well, but is starting to show it's age as well.

Great episode. It looks like I'll be watching more Roku Channel.

One thing I wish they'd do is when you arrange your apps is to do it across all the devices on your account. We have 3 Expresses and it would make it much easier to arrange one device and it changes on all of them.

The live guide only displays your local stations if you have a Roku TV. It would be nice if the players would display your local channels in the guide based on your zip code, but I guess they figure without the ability to tune to the station from the guide it wouldn't make much sense.
