BIG button, simple remote for Roku Streaming stick (not TV) for an Elderly person with dementia
I moved Mom's TV subscription to Sling so everything is on Roku—for me, the remote is so simple I can use it in the dark. My poor mom is confused by it and has trouble with small buttons. I found EZclicker in Amazon. Looks like a good solution, but it is only for Roku TVs. 😕 PLEASE, Roku, make something for (cognitively-impacted) seniors OR fix your licensing so that 3rd party companies can make remotes for your devices.
Block/remove content on Live TV
My daughter keeps watching live tv on Roku tv I’ve used all the parental controls block every rating it still pops up with all these YouTube streamers/ lives removed it from the Home Screen but she knows how to bring it back 🙄 there has to be a way blocking the ratings doesn’t work neither does removing it off the Home Screen. Or another brand of smart TVs that can
Ethernet Ports on Future Products
I have 6 Roku devices and 5 are Ultras because they have an ethernet port. Please continue to have a product in your lineup that includes an ethernet option. I only want to use a hard-wired connection whenever possible for streaming television. I only use wi-fi for mobile devices and 1 TV and I want to keep it that way.Parental Controls screen time on Roku?
Many parents on this community keep asking for better parental controls, but Roku just says they don’t have that capability versus making it available. There is still no function to control screen time on our kids. I should be able to have my kids tv turn off after a period of time (5 hours if I choose), where they cannot access any apps without a pin after that time period. If I only want the tv accessible between the hours of 5pm-9pm…and not accessible before then (because it’s homework time or whatever the case) then I feel we should be able to control their screen time. As many class action lawsuits that are out there about kids and screen time….I’m surprised Roku isn’t actually looking further into these options and concerns from parents….just saying. Nearly every device you buy now and days have advanced parental controls…I guess ROKU needs some catching up to do, versus other electronics and devices.Suggestion: Roku Remote lock feature
I believe a lock function on remote controls could significantly enhance the user experience for many households. I’d love to see a remote lock feature as a physical button on Roku remotes. The goal is to prevent accidental button presses when someone is lying in bed or on the couch and unintentionally rolls over the remote. It’s a common scenario that leads to channels changing, apps closing, or playback being disrupted, all by mistake. A lock function would be especially helpful in families with young children, pets, or in shared living situations. It would provide peace of mind and make the viewing experience smoother and more enjoyable.
