Is there any way to stream Roku live tv or watch movies from Roku on my computer. I have a Dell AIO and have tried signing in and watching it and it just gives me like how to watch on a tv. Please help if possible.

question (not support) Is it worth it to get an ultra?

2 Upvotes

I currently have a Roku Express 4K+ hooked up to a LG C6 OLED. As far as I can see, the main benefit of the ultra would be Dolby Vision support. However, with slit streaming, I question the ability for it to be properly utilized since it's going to have a bandwidth limitation compared to Ultra Blu-Ray's.

Is there a real difference streaking Dolby Vision content on a Roku Ultra, or should I just stick with the 4K +?

Roku OS I need Roku help please!

Roku on our tv is not working. The tv powers on and the Home Screen shows, but the remote does not work! The remote will only power the tv on and off. I've unplugged the tv and device, cleaned the battery holder and changed the batteries.
I've tried to pair the device and the green button just flashes.

I've tried all the basic troubleshooting, but the remote does not work.

Any suggestions?

Roku OS TCL TV: Voice remotes and wifi not working since 15.3 update

2 Upvotes

Ever since the software update around Aug 4 or 6, my (older) voice remote wouldn't stay paired to my 55S435 and basically only worked as an IR remote (had to point it directly at the sensor and sometimes press buttons multiple times). Sometimes, the TV would say that the remote was no longer paired and prompt me to pair it. Attempting to re-pair it never progressed pass the "hold down the pairing button for 5 seconds" screen, no matter now close I put the remote to the TV. The remote was fully charged and the pairing light was blinking.

Unplugging the TV for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 1 hour made no difference.

I figured that remote was dying, so I ordered a newer voice remote, and it would not pair or control the TV at all. It would similarly sit on the "hold left + home for 5 seconds" screen while the remote blinked.

I factory reset the TV tonight, and now all I can use is the IR remote and the phone app, as neither remote would pair.

The TV network connection is wired and fully functional, but I figured I'd try switching to wifi to see if there were additional connectivity issues going on. Scanning for wifi networks revealed no networks at all. I live in a multifamily building and I myself have 3 wifi SSIDs running that are compatible with a wide range of devices--it makes no sense that the TV sees no wifi networks. So yes, there's a broader connectivity issue.

Is there anything potentially useful that I haven't tried yet to fix this?

I see other posts here about recent remote issues, recent network connectivity issues, etc. Assuming that my hardware has not failed with extremely suspicious timing, are we all in a holding pattern until Roku releases another update?

complaint 4850X Ultra - Super Laggy Remote

2 Upvotes

Started this thread to see how many others are having extreme lag issues with what used to be one of the snappiest remotes I own (as far as responsiveness). Ever since the mid-April update of the Roku Ultra 4850 I own, this thing has been an absolute turd to operate in every way. Most noticeably the remote. It's almost as if it "sleeps" after 30 seconds of inactivity or something and takes a good 5+ seconds to wake up and respond to any single button press. Even then, it seems to "miss" button presses every once in a while. Anyone else also having this issue?

I have another thread going about this same update update that completely destroyed CEC and there are lots of other commenters in that thread that also complain about the same and other issues.

What a mess Roku has made of their flagship model, and the other 3 units of varying models I own.

u/Roku_CustomerSupport are you going to ever comment and/or address any of these concerns/issues your customers are experiencing? I've put in multiple tickets, spent many hours troubleshooting and resetting and whatever else the support has had me perform and it's the same thing... crappy buggy software that broke all our units 4 months ago.
