43" Roku Select Series 4K TV will not pair with the remote
I have a new 43" Roku (my 4th Roku TV). The remote is fully charged but it won't pair with the TV. The white light flashes but nothing else happens. The screen will not go past the "Let's Get Started" page (the one with the different language options). Roku support chat was useless, she just said press the back and home button and wait 5 seconds but I did that many times and nothing changed. Then she said take the batteries out and put them back in, Again, no change. Is there a solution?121Views1like4CommentsVoice remote open app command not working
When I give the voice command to open an app, it gives me a selection menu. For example "Open HBO MAX". It doesn't open the HBO MAX app. It opens a selection menu for selecting the HBO MAX app or Amazon prime HBO MAX or HBO MAX through some other service. How do I get it to open just the regular app not give me a selection menu?Solved33Views2likes2CommentsSeemingly endless loop of update and restart
I have just bought a Roku Express 4K. I have spent the last hour in a loop in which I selecta language, connect to Wi-Fi, it checks for updates, says an update is available, downloads the update, restarts and then does the same thing at least a dozen times now. Is this normal and how many updates could there be?Solved15KViews0likes12CommentsRoku TV no longer discovered by Alexa
About a year ago I purchased a 42” Philips Roku tv from Sams Club. I set it up and paired it with Alexa and it worked but was a novelty as I was on a Direct TV dish. I am now turning Direct TV off in favor of a streaming service but discovered that the TV has lost the ability to pair with Alexa. About 3 months ago ATT came out and upgraded the router. Everything was the same and all appeared to work as it did but I did not check to see if the TV was still paired with Alexa. To date I have removed the TV from the Roku account. Removed the skill from the Alexa app. Reset the TV to out of box. Set the TV back up. Checked that the TV was back in the Roku account. Installed the Roku skill in the Alexa app. Then scanned for new devices but found none. I also went in and forced the router to have a different SSID for the 2.4G and the 5G bands. The TV is using the 2.4G band same as the Echo show. What am I missing?184Views3likes10CommentsTurning on the LG TV and switching input via the Roku remote
Hello -- I just set up a new Roku on a new LG TV (my first smart TV, so please forgive what may be a dumb question). Everything was fine. I shut the TV off with the Roku remote, but when I turned it back on it reverted to the LG OS and I had to use the LG remote to switch the input to HDMI, which brought up the Roku screen and then could use the Roku remote. Is there any way to use only the Roku remote or do I need to use the LG remote to turn the TV on and off and switch input every time? Thank you.Solved82Views1like5CommentsHDMI connection issues with tivo box.
When i connect my eastlink cable box to any hdmi port in back of 55 inch philips roku tv the picture goes dark and distorted the box and cable work fine on other TV (LG tv). Philips claim it is a roku issue so won't do anything but make me do factory resets which does nothing. Is there a way to revert back from an update as it seems to have started then. Roku itself works fine but can't connect my cable box.132Views1like5Comments- 5KViews0likes5Comments

I use a 2020ish Stick+ with my patio TV. It's under cover, shaded, and the Stick+ is far from the TV's vents/heat but I often get an overheating warning in the Texas afternoon summers. Ambient afternoon temps are in the mid to upper 90's on the patio when it happens with a ceiling fan circulating air. Does the newer Stick 4K run any cooler? TIASolved49Views1like1Comment
