    Hi EdT,

    Thanks for the inquiry!

    All Roku TV models and Roku streaming players are designed to ensure they are always running the latest version of the software. Your Roku device will check to see whether new software is available for download during initial setup and whenever the Roku device is powered on, and then randomly every 24-36 hours. The download and installation are done automatically without ever interrupting your use of the Roku device. Any Roku peripherals, such as Roku wireless speakers or a Roku subwoofer, will automatically be updated alongside your TV or streaming player.

    For more information, please see this support article on how to update the software on your Roku streaming device.

    Hope you'll find this info useful. Let us know if there's anything else that we can do to assist you.

    Best regards,
    John

Nobody knows what criteria Roku uses to decide when to update their devices, but it's not at all unusual to have identical devices receive updates weeks or even months apart.
