Wifi usage by some channels

Jump to solution

Why do some channels use more wifi than others? I've set the devices to use as little as possible,  but certain channels still use way more than others.

Hi @Kgrbabe62,

Congrats on your first post in the Roku Community!

We can certainly understand your concern that you want to know why some channels consume more wireless internet usage.

Please be advised that some shows or channels streamed in higher picture quality formats like 4K or HDR require higher internet speeds. (For specific requirements, check with your channel providers.) 

We hope we have addressed your question appropriately, but please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or additional feedback.


Best regards,
