  • @AFmedic
    I have had Roku since 2008 when they first came out. Upgraded several times and this video has taught me about features i never knew about. Thank You!
  • @abysses
    i really love their app. the way you can bookmark shows and channels is awesome. i also use the remote on the app a lot.
  • @Reyescult
    I never think to use the Roku app. There are some great tips here. Thank you.
  • I'm glad this video popped up in my YouTube feed, I just ordered my Roku box system and this will help me set it up properly right away. Thank you so much, I can't wait for it to get here.
  • @fridayjoefriday
    Have had a Roku Ultra for years, just three of the tips I've used are removing apps, moving apps and to a lesser degree vote on channel. Seems I had a upgraded ff, from start of paid advertising to end of advertising is a snap.
  • @OWK000
    Thanks for these, especially avoiding the oji board typing nightmare. I already use the "private listening" to transfer sound to my JBL Charge 4 as my 32" Sony tv does not have great speakers and the JBL is very crisp and clear and I can put the speaker closer to me than the tv.
  • I am about to upgrade my roku skills this is great didn't know I could do so much!
  • Thanks. Just got a Roku Express and learning how everything works.
  • simple, straight forward and informative. Thanks I am now a subscriber.
  • Great video man! Very practical and excellent, concise delivery.
  • @BBMc107
    Private listening tip was worth this video. When hubby is cooking, I want to watch TV and want my earbuds. Great tip!
  • @RJM316
    Thank you, this video will come in handy!
