[@landpet]

Thanks! Great to hear!

[@carljohnson4484]

@@landpet you make money on these videos do you sir

[@carljohnson4484]

@@landpet do you make money on KZbin

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I like the fact that you can choose the resolution you want with the stick 720p up to Dolby Vision 4K. Very nice.

[@BobbieTheTechGuy]

Are you able to use Siri through HomeKit to turn on and off, play movies or music, open apps, etc. on the TV

[@ericpalmer3664]

I just got the Roku streaming stick 4k and it does support Dolby Atmos. I go into Netflix and Disney and it displays Atmos. I have a Sony sound bar that supports atmos and I confirmed that my sound bar is outputting Dolby Atmos.

[@landpet]

That’s strange, according to the Roku site it does not support Dolby Atmos: www.roku.com/products/compare

[@robert4027]

Will this new 4k stick work well with my portable projector. ? It is an HD 1080p native. I just bought this machine black Friday deal

[@landpet]

It should work fine as long as the projector has an HDMI port

[@anonnine]

Thanks for the review

[@landpet]

No problem 👍

[@traveltheworld886]

Great review

[@landpet]

Thanks!

[@yea1955]

so a normal 4k 60fps tv cant stream these apps in 4k? i’m confused on the purpose of 4k streaming if the tv already has it

[@landpet]

Just a repeat to my other answer on your other comment. No point if your TV has it, these things allow for more apps typically and generally load quicker. The Roku also has some free shows and movies with ads.

[@CatheliyaHealingCenter]

I just tried to plug my new stick in and it popped up. Pair your remote. I have tried many different ways now. It's still not pairing? What do I do?

[@landpet]

Make sure the batteries work in the remote, try restarting the Roku if it was unsuccessful

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I have one and I love it.

[@landpet]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@amerabdo2532]

Hi, does it support Atmos in Netflix?

[@landpet]

Not this version

[@captshadab]

Please make video on amplifi alien and it's comparision to top notch routers

[@landpet]

Maybe in the future, I have lots of videos on my queue and lots of new stuff coming out. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ayeshajones9718]

Where do I plug the roku to my TV? U never said that part

[@landpet]

Directly to the HDMI port

[@jesusmartinezparra8581]

would I be able to watch showtime ppv?

[@landpet]

Yes, it does off the showtime app and when you open that, it offered one of the upcoming fights that was PPV

[@omarsalazar5782]

Can u connect the USB to the TV?

[@landpet]

You can try it but it may not have enough power for the Roku. If it works then you're good but if you're Roku is clearly not working or has troubles or freezes then it's better to use the dedicated power

[@ushafrierson6920]

Can you watch live tennis matches on roku

[@landpet]

Idk, I imagine you can if you get the right app but I'm not sure and I don't have this anymore to test.

[@xobena_]

Will this work on a tv that isn’t 4K?

[@landpet]

Yes, it will however be limited to that TV's resolution. So if you connect it to a 1080p TV, it can only go up to 1080p resolution.

[@xobena_]

@@landpet thank you 😊

[@marybetheby5184]

Just got 3 and they are incredible!

[@landpet]

Glad to hear!

[@beatonlawrence47]

How do you know if the remote is on.

[@landpet]

Not sure I understand, the remote should always be on assuming the batteries work.

[@hugoregio1939]

Bought one today but does not have the Hulu green button any longer!!

[@landpet]

Interesting

[@tdadp]

I pick it on Black Friday for $30.00 . I think it a good

[@landpet]

Great price

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I bought one too on black Friday and it was a good deal.

[@ARS6558]

Why KZbin is not available?

[@landpet]

KZbin TV is not available. KZbin so far is available but that may disappear unless Roku and Google come to a deal. One of the reasons is that the new Roku doesn't support the AV1 codec which KZbin wants to use or is already using. The new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K max does have that AV1 codec. There might be other reasons as well.

[@bionicwoman9884]

KZbin tv and KZbin is now available on Roku. This is outdated.

[@deejones6431]

My Roku Stick keep overheating.

[@landpet]

One thing to check is to verify it's getting some airflow, if so, then probably best to contact Roku

[@rachellereynolds7136]

I just bought the roku streaming stick. You were going way too fast to follow

[@landpet]

I appreciate the feedback.

[@ccdogpark]

if you watch on a computer you can change the playback speed.

[@ARS6558]

Boa noite, amigo! Contigo baixar o KZbin?

[@m.e.b.6095]

my new voice activated remote doesnt work! got a number i can call or do i need to send it back? gimme a break! so frustrated!!!

[@landpet]

Up to you, I would probably send it back

[@bluecat7574]

Roku stick 4K is absolutely not worth the trouble. I constantly no matter what brand new batteries I put in the remote will cause the constant stop of selecting anything for it to evaluate the batteries. You cannot turn off the battery icon on screen and when it checks the batteries, it stops all selections so you have to wait till roku is done evaluating the batteries. I can tell you this I have beaten that remote and thrown it on ground after roku doing constant checks and the remote doesn't break, for that I give 10 stars for the toughness of the remore. 4k Roku stick is not worth buying when you can buy Amazon stick that doesn't freeze selecting/stopping/playing movies so that it can evaluate the stupid batteries. Horrible daily experience every hour so bought Amazon stick and no more bs.

[@landpet]

Thanks for posting your experience. That didn't happen to me when I had it granted I like the fire stick either way more than the roku

[@bluecat7574]

@@landpet I do.like the thickness of the roku remote compared to Firestick remote which cannot be abused. It will break as it seems fragile. Although Amazon platform is very exciting on home page with everything they show but Roku looks very simple.

[@vickie8955]

I've upgraded my roku, I also have an antenna, but the home screen doesn't have the antenna Live port available to select. How do I add that port through the updated roku HDMI port?

[@landpet]

Roku doesn't work with an antenna. Roku has apps that let you watch live tv without the need for an antenna. Connecting the antenna to the TV would just be another source (or input) on the TV remote you would select.
