Spectrum is requesting I order a Xumo Stream Box
Hello everyone, I subscribe to Spectrum Wi-Fi and stream my local channels on my Roku. I have Samsung TV models and Spectrum is requesting that I purchase their Xumo Stream Box in order to stream on my Samsung TV. They claim that their App will not work with 2012-2016 Samsung models. Is this true or are they pulling my leg. They also say that they will give me the Xumo Box free for one year and then charge me $5 a month. I turned in their $10 boxes because the were getting too expensive. Can I continue to stream on my Roku and NOT use their box. I believe that just want to continue charging me for thing that I don't need or to monitor what I watch. Does anyone have advice?8KViews0likes5CommentsCan’t connect remote to stick after factory reset
I purchased a Roku express online and it didn’t come with a remote so I bought a Roku voice remote since it said it can connect to most Roku streaming devices. It won’t pair the remote without the device being connected to WiFi so I have no way of getting past the select language screen. The remote is brand new and the batteries work since it lights up into pairing mode when I put them in.Any help would be great15Views0likes1CommentTurn off Roku Express 4K Status light
Our Roku express has a sensor light, a blue LED. I’ve looked up how to get rid of it, but all instructions don’t apply to the express (one instruction is to go through settings and turn off LED standby, but that’s for Roku bars and TVs, not express. Another was to turn it off with the remote - there is no power button on remote. Finally, press home before turning off tv and it will go to sleep and turn off on its own - it didn’t). Does anyone know if it’s even possible to turn off the light without unplugging it on the Roku express 4K?670Views0likes4CommentsMaximum number of streaming devices per account
It appears that the maximum number of streaming devices per account is 20 as I have hit the error stating such, and this was given as an answer to this question 14 years ago in this thread: How many roku player can i link to one account | Roku Community Do you think maybe it's time to up this number? I mean 20, it's not even an exponent? Seems like a very arbitrary and pretty pathetically low number. I have more than 30 Roku devices and have to separate some out to a different account due to this limitation. I mean I have a 3x3 video wall made up of 9 Roku TVs, which is then fed by another Roku streaming device across all 9 TVs. That alone is half of that limit in just one room. In a world where a 43-55" 4K Roku TV is just about the cheapest thing of it's size that you can hang on a wall, even cheaper than a framed poster of a similar size, you'd think that this limitation would be run into pretty consistently. I have a Roku TV or streamer in every room in my house and multiples in some, that I remotely turn on and off dependent on whether a sensor identifies that there is someone in that room. It's pretty easy to hit that limit. Usually smart devices have a limit of some impractically high number, 20 isn't even reasonably high. Maybe this seemed like a high number 15 years ago when Roku was just a separate streaming device and TVs cost considerably more than they do now, but in today's marketplace, it's just not a reasonable limit. Fairly large Roku TVs today cost less than an 8x10" video picture frame did 15 years ago.38Views1like1CommentUnable to pair Roku Voice Remote
Hello I recently bought a roku replacement remote for my 4660x2 on amazon - Unless its the wrong remote, it does not work and does not have a physical pairing button. I'm told the newer smaller remotes are supposed to automatically work? Is it necessary to hold the BACK button and Play button simultaneously to program it? Or do I have the wrong replacement? Thank You95Views0likes5Commentssony bravia 4K VH2 TV and ROKU equipment
