@@blakespower It's one fewer hop from the TV to your ears, which lessens the time delay. For another, many TVs don't have bluetooth support, and have a limited number of composite out and headphone jacks anyways. There's a a few reasons why more than one person might want to "private listen" at the same time including somebody else in the house that's trying to study or just wanting the improved isolation that it can provide.

@@thatguyalex2835 I wish more TVs would come with the ability to delay the picture by a split second to make up for that. At present, the best you can usually do is turn off as much of the processing as you can and hope it's enough. I remember when playing Rocksmith, that I had to do some funky wiring in order to get the delay close enough for the game to be playable.

The best thing on the Roku app for me is getting to use wireless headphones with an older tv that doesn’t have Bluetooth capability built-in or a Roku remote with a built-in headphone Jack. But it doesn’t work on hotel networks for me which I hope Roku can fix one day.

I got a Roku (That I guess I really over paid for), while visiting the US recently. Given it was the Cheap 40$ dongle thing, that costs less than 20€s here for. It never had a Headphone Jack. My nVidia Shield Pro (2015), Remote however does. Though TBF the Roku Express is very pocketable, unlike the Shield. Hopefully I'll be able to get my VPN Service off my Phone, and into the wider LAN soon to take advantage of having a US based Roku. Again not nowing that that side was less Hardware, and more of an Internet Setup side, of it.

@AlbertaStrength There is plenty of free Channels on Roku as well as the major Streaming Services. Besides the Roku Channel, and the movies to be found there-in it also has Pluto TV, which is more or less the same thing. As someone who has used an nVida Shield (Android TV), these last five years. I have to say, that I find the UI, of the Roku to be more simplistic, and less cluttered than that of Googles Android TV Platform.

Wow I already knew this stuff. You forgot to mention for blind people, I am blind, but specifically blind people who are totally new to the roku and just got it, there is a screen reader. If you showed that in another video, great! But if you haven't, well, then, other blind viewers might be confused because they didn't know it had a screen reader. Since you're not blind, you might not be used to a device reading something to you, it will drive you crazy, but the screen reader is there for a reason, it's because there are blind people who use it. It needs to be accessible with screen readers, and luckily, it is. I've played around with these things. Hopefully you understand the accessibility needs for us blind people, and can possibly make a video to other blind people about how to use the roku with a screen reader. Unfortunately, for those who are blind and speak more than one language, the roku only supports english for the screen reader, but that really doesn't matter to me, because I only speak english. But yes. It is accessible. You press the star button for times to turn it on, and the same to turn it off. I do get frustrated when I have to use a virtual keyboard with it, because I hate virtual keyboards! LOL

You may want to add an extra disclaimer to the private channels section or just remove it entirely. Roku shutdown/removed all the private channels back in February and replaced it with a beta system that limits the amount of users. There may be a few that seem like they can be added but they will just bring you to a 404 page when you try to add them.

I bought my first Roku 3 years ago, mainly because of the USB input so I could attach an external hard drive to watch videos... home videos that I transferred from my old Hi8 video tapes (boy that was a lot of work... HAH !)... and DVD's that I ripped to MP4's. Bought another one for my other TV that my wife mainly watches... we have taken a Roku 3 on vacation for years to watch stuff with family member instead of screwing around with rental homes & hotels TVs and cable providers. Just bought a Roku Ultra, and gave one of my Roku 3's to my brother to enjoy. I do prefer a Roku box instead of a Roku TV or a "smart TV"... I like the portability of the Roku Box ! I wish I could screen mirror from the Roku to my PC (to record stuff), but I would probably need an HDMI input on my computer ?

That is one of the things I like most about the Roku is that I can just unplug and disconnect it from my TV, and throw it, it's small power supply and a HDMI cable in my suitcase when I'm travelling, then connect it to the internet (and a TV) wherever I am and continue watching without any interruptions or drama. The USB input for an external hard drive was one of the reasons I initially bought a Roku, so I could watch TV shows, movies, etc that I had already downloaded to my computer. I started to love it's interface and ease of use later on because of it. I've used a Firestick, multiple android boxes and Apple TV boxes since then, and none can compare in my opinion.

Also I you have AirPods, put your AirPods in, open the app and hit the audio button!! Your tv in your AirPods!! Use it all the time!! Another thing I use wireless display. On a windows 10 computer right click on the desktop and go to display settings/ down at the bottom click connect to a wireless display. It search’s and the Roku will show up as long as you are on the same network and your computer is now on your Roku. Works perfect for throwing something on your tv from your computer.

The main factor for choosing my first Roku device was the private listening option. I was trying to choose between the Amazon 4k stick and the Roku 4k stick, both on sale for around $25 on black Friday sales, but couldn't decide on one. I then found the Roku Ultra Lt with the headphone jack built into the remote for $30. As someone who is on a different sleep schedule than everyone else in my house this was the best choice for me, well worth the extra $5. I haven't gotten around to using it much yet though. (The main reason for even getting a streaming device in the first place was so I could turn my gaming consoles off when I just want to watch something, but so far I've noticed some negatives using the Roku. I'm not sure if it's the device being used or the company behind the app, but one of the main ones I watch (free with ads) has many more ads on the Roku compared to my xb1, which kind of partially defeats the purpose of getting the Roku in the first place as I'll probably stick with console to watch it.)

Is there anyway to hear sound in my Oticon hearing aids? I tried the private listening feature but it doesn't feed through the hearing aids.

I have my first and last Roku TV. I have a Roku and Google TV’s side by side. The Google TV uses the cable remote while the Roku requires the Roku remote. The only App I use on the Roku is ESPN to watch reruns now n now. About the only thing I watch on the Google TV is Amazon Prime or Tubi.

My father has Parkinsons and it makes it very difficult for him to hold an iPad on his lap; he can just about handle the iPhone thankfully. I can position the iPad close to him, but not close enough to reach and touch the iPad. My question is, can you get the Roku app to run on the iPad, so you have access to all the Roku app like a TV, and then remote control the iPad from the iPhone using the Roku app? Thanks for any tips!

Hello DT - I have an older Sharp, not smart TV, Roku appears, however, when I use the Roku controller or app control on my android, the TV picks up the signal and changes the Input Source! So impossible to use it...any thoughts? Thanks

Same here BUT is seems using the phone for this requires the phone and Roku to be on the same network since I use my phone as the network I can’t get it to work for me. So I got a Roku that’s uses the remote for private listening.

I just bought a Roku Express the other day and tried the private listening - using the app on the phone with bluetooth earbuds. I gotta say that's pretty impressive. That this little thing can negotiate all the various connections and protocols and still deliver decent audio that had zero latency. Amazing. I have a question about using this in a hotel room. If you connect the Roku to the hotel wi-fi, and try to use the phone app, is it going to be able to mate the roku with the app remote if there are other Roku devices connected to the same network ?

I'm not completely positive but I'm pretty sure you can choose the name of the TV or roku box that you wan't to connect to and it should work.

I have one TV with a ROKU stick but I can't find a KZbin TV app on the app screen. My other TV's have it and work fine? I can get to KZbin TV via the KZbin original but it's not as easy. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

A similar thing happened to me when I added a new Roku to the line. The app was already installed on the other Rokus, but it wouldn't show up on my Home screen on the newer one, although if I searched for the app, it was "checked" as being installed, but I could only access it by searching for it. I had to remove it from the other devices, restarted, then reinstalled it, and it showed up properly on all of them. Had to re-enter my credentials again to use it.

I have a Roku smart TV and a Roku streaming stick on a 10 year old TV. Both work great. There's never nothing to watch for free. You don't have to pay for a service if you don't want.

I didn't watch the entire video so I apologize if you addressed the question I'm posing here. I'd just like to know if this ROKU device needs to necessarily be connected to a TV. I ask bc I don't watch TV much really. However I do watch a little KZbin on my PC and was wondering if that would suffice. I'd really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
