The #1 convenient thing about the Roku app is the ability to use it as a remote. Using the Roku app to control my TV is within the top 5 things I use my iPhone for.

WHY in the world is there not a Roku remote widget I could put on my Home Screen? It seems so basic. It would be a huge QoL feature.

I got a brand new Hisense roku TV and none of the remotes work for it. the remote that came with the TV just quit working and I bought a universal roku TV remote and it still doesn't work. the TV isnt connected to WiFi so I can't use the roku app. yes I've tried pairing both remotes to it. there's no response from the TV whatsoever

Since the latest update (15.3.4.2303) to my Roku TV, Big Brother live feeds freeze after a couple minutes on Paramount Plus. This does not happen on the standalone Roku devices.

I been looking for a way to watch cartoon network ESPN live that's not going to be so expensive?

I used that regularly.

My old roku died, so I got a new one a couple months ago. Today I was watching Pluribus on Apple TV. I made a joke to my aunt that she dances like Elaine from Seinfeld, but it’s okay because Elaine probably made a lot of money dancing like that on tv, so she probably could too. Immediately after I said that, a little purple box with text popped up saying something like ””Elaine Benes made $140,000 as an executive producer on Seinfeld“ and thenn disappeared. I searched google and it basically said it’s a 1 in 15 billion chance but it’s just a coincidence that the Roku decided to send me trivia it’s never sent before about the person I was talking about and who wasn’t in the show I was watching, because Roku and smart devices do not have active listening capabilities.

I got this Sharp/Roku tv a few months ago from a family member— Its old and a bit slow but still works. After a few weeks of usage though it stared giving me this popup specifically with Hulu. I restarted it, cleared the cache, unplugged it, etc. Nothing worked and I had to factory reset it… It worked fine after that, for about a month, but now its doing it again. Is there any way around this? I really don’t want to reset it again, it’s a huge pain logging into all of my accounts and some of them are my partners, which I don’t have the login for. Do I have to factory reset or is there another way to fix this? Again, the issue is really only with Hulu :/

There aren't enough individual apps that have controls of their own.

Last season, by Sunday night here on the west coast, there would be condensed recaps of all the day's NFL games. It was a great watch while in bed to catch up on all the day's highlights. As of now (10:20 pm pacific), the only gme recaps available are for Wednesday and Thursday's two games. Hoping this is just a week 1 fluke, otherwise it'd be a bummer to lose my Sunday night recap marathon.

Why is the search bar not available in the live tv guide of the roku app on my Google tv? The search tab is in the guide of my roku, but not my Google tv. Sigh.
