Are TCL-Rokus TVs getting the 12.5 Upgrade?

None of my TCL Tvs has received the 12.5 upgrade. They are still on 12.0.x and when I manually check for updates it says there is no update available.

Thanks,

Cara.

Roku essentially "rolls out" their OS updates over time. (so as not to break everyone's devices at the same time).  

I only have one device (RokuTV) on 12.5 at this time.  My other devices (streaming players) are still on OS 12.0.  

Rest assured, your TCL RokuTV will eventually update to 12.5.  Manually updating (Settings/System/Software Update) is a good method to use in case the automatic update was missed, but is generally unnecessary. (I usually perform one about every week just to make sure all my channels are updated/patched).

Thanks Gunnar.

My 2 Roku players have been upgraded to 12.5.x.

But none of my TCL-Roku TVs, they are still on 12.0.x.

As you said, it may take some time..... we'll keep waiting.

I'd suggest disconnecting your TV from the internet to keep it from updating.  The 12.5 has screwed up remote controls.

@AvsGunnar thanks for this information. I was curious about this myself. I have a TCL though I am looking to upgrade to a Roku TV in the near future. I keep seeing and reading about this update to the operating system so now I’m not as curious anymore.
