Re: YouTube TV takes 8 seconds to change channels
I am not being condescending but unless you get full details people cannot fully help you. When did you purchase it? When you do a check connection test what are your results? I asked you a bunch of questions and you have not answered me. Your Roku is basically over 2 year old and out of warranty. My Ultra is the 4800R. That’s the most recent version. It’s running Roku OS 10.5. YouTube TV version 2.21 build 94005571. I ran a check connection test and it is getting 189 Mbps. Keep in mind that The network cards are in a Roku are limited. And everything I do on it opens up instantaneously including scrolling through networks on YouTube TV. If I could upload a video I would2.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: YouTube TV takes 8 seconds to change channels
Anonymous did you even read anything I said? Exactly which real cool model do you have? It helps to elaborate and you can always edit your post. In a previous post you said it’s a 2020 altrube but that it doesn’t explain anything. You could’ve bought it in 2020 but it was designed and made before that. It’s an older generation. What is the model number and when did you purchase it and from where? Also do you have it hooked up with ethernet or Wi-Fi? Did you try both? I have my Ultra on ethernet. 500 Mbps. You say you have a strong connection but you’re not providing enough details. Run a check connection test on your Roku. What does it say for signal strength and speed2.6KViews0likes3CommentsRe: YouTube TV takes 8 seconds to change channels
So this thread popped up cause someone posted on. It’s a year old. I go through all the comments including those of Mods. I currently subscribe to YouTube TV. It’s one of my main sources of entertainment. But absolutely no one can answer what’s going on properly so let me take the reins. First of all YouTube TV is developed my Google not Roku. so the issue primarily lies within Google itself. But the main factor that nobody has yet to look at is the dissimilar hardware that each Roku device comes with. doesn’t matter if it’s a Roku TV or a Roku streaming device itself. A Roku Express does not have have the same hardware and features as a Roku Ultra. A Roku Stick 4K does not have The same hardware as a Roku Ultra. There’s a price difference for a reason. By hardware I mean what’s inside the device such as CPU, GPU and RAM. When it comes to Roku TV’s it’s the same. They come in different sizes and different series. I have 2 TCL Roku TV’s. One 32” and one 65”. They are both made by TCL and they are both running the same Roku operating system. But both have different hardware inside. The 65 inch has a faster processor. Therefore it can do more things faster than my 32”. I have six Roku devices all together. 3 Stick 4K, 1 Roku Ultra and 2 Roku TV’s. Opening up the YouTube TV channel takes more time on my 32” then my 65”. As a matter of fact opening up any channel takes longer on the 32”. Why? Because my 65 inch has superior hardware than a 32 inch. Scrolling through the networks on YouTube TV on my 32” is slower Then when I do the same on my 65 5 inchthen when I do the same on my 65 inch. Same goes when I compare my Sticks to my Ultra. I’ve never experienced an eight second delay while scrolling networks or changing them on any of my devices using YouTube TV. But the 32” is definitely slower then the 65”. Unless you have two different Roku devices you cannot duplicate what I mentioned. And by different I mean one top-of-the-line and one budget one. There. All explained first hand. Hope this helps. In a nutshell if you think that YouTube TV is Performing slow on your Roku Express or budget TV then that is normal2.6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: roku voice activated remotes do not change channels once on a site like direct tv stream
A Roku voice remote does commands such as "launch Disney" or find "The Fast and the Furious". A Roku voice remote does not have the ability to take commands once you are within a channel such as watch DirecTV Stream and saying "Go to HGTV". That is not how it works. https://support.roku.com/article/360009552694 "Note: Not all channels support all commands. We continue to evolve and expand Roku Voice, with a focus on helping you get to your favorite content quickly. We are continually working internally and alongside channel partners to expand functionality and expect it to improve over time."8.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Accessing Channels without having to scroll through 300 channels...
AvsGunnar Thank you. I think threads should be locked after a short time. So many threads are reopened by comments that’s are even 2 years old. And according to the community guidelines if a thread is old than 6 months you should make a new one. Mods should close threads2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Accessing Channels without having to scroll through 300 channels...
948493 Not really. If you read he never did his research. He just bought it. I never ever buy a tv, car, smartphone, computer, camera and more without doing some research and comparisons. We don’t know what size the TV is either. But even if it’s a 50” those only weigh like 40 lbs or less. If a store delivered it they will at times pick it up. If not I’m sure family or friends can help return it. But like everything in life “buyer beware”. Before I cut the cord I spent about 2 months doing my research. Before I bought my Audi S4 I did my research for months. Before I spent $700 on a TCL Roku TV I did my research. Before I bought my iPhone 13 Pro I did my research. Plain and simple. Roku devices are appealing to a lot cause of the lower costs. Just like there are tons of people complaining about the Roku Express not connecting to there WiFi. But the base model Express isn’t dual band. They bought the cheapest model based on the price and not the features. Millions of people do this every day. They see something they like. They buy and when it doesn’t perform like it should they get upset.7.3KViews0likes1CommentRe: Premier + remote uses battery very rapidly
Eddie607 from your previous post. That tells me you are using the private listening headphone jack. I find it very hard to believe your batteries only last 5 days. Exactly which batteries are you using? Are they expired? "I have the Roku Ulta and I use the plug on the side of the remote, and always unplug it when I'm not using it. The software has been updated. What am I doing wrong? Will I have the same issues with a new remote?"2KViews0likes5Comments
