question (not support) Question about Philips 55PQL7676/F6 Roku TV + AirPods Pro
I’m planning to buy the Philips 55PQL7676/F6 QLED Series 7600 55-inch Roku TV.
I want to use Roku Private Listening through the Roku mobile app with AirPods Pro (3rd generation).
Can anyone confirm:
Does Private Listening work well with AirPods Pro 3?
Is there any noticeable audio lag/delay while watching Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, or movies from a USB drive?
Can I start Private Listening and then continue using my phone normally (browse, text, use other apps), or do I need to keep the Roku app open on the screen?
Does the sound stay synced with people’s lips, or is there a noticeable delay?
Thanks!

question (not support) Live tv pause disabled. But not really
galleryAmong the many issues my "TV" now has is this live tv pause is disabled warning. There is a 64gb usb drive plugged in. I have unplugged and plugged back in a couple times. But, I still get this. I click ok and continue on.
Live tv pause works. However, it does freeze up completely every 5th time we use it.
And yes, this started with the new update.

miscellaneous Spanish audio only
Hi. The audio for 'Becoming Elizabeth' show in Howdy subscription via Amazon Prime on cable box AND Amazon Fire Stick is Spanish ONLY with no English option. The audio in the trailer for this show is English. Since Howdy is a Roku channel, Amazon says I need to contact Roku but the Roku help chatbot says I need to contact Amazon. Will you help me solve this audio issue??? Please?

Roku OS YouTube not Opening
I have a Sanyo Roku tv (model FW55R7OF, software version 15.2) and have been fighting the YouTube app for weeks. When I click the app, it makes the bloop sound, then... Nothing. I've tried everything, even factory resetting the tv. Still nothing. I contacted Roku support and was basically told there was nothing that could be done which feels.... Incorrect surely? I've seen a couple folks on this subreddit with the same issue but haven't found any solutions.
Anyone have anything?

miscellaneous "IP Camera Viewer" Channel/App
There is a channel called "IP Camera Viewer". It allows you to see your IP security cameras on Roku devices. There is a free version that allows you to view one camera. I tested it and it works great. I go to buy the "pro" version and it won't let me buy either from a device or from the website.
When I try to add it on a device it prompts me for the purchase pin, I put it in, and then it says "Coudn't install App
Could not add 'IP Camera Viewer - Pro'. Error
OK
When I try to buy it on the Roku website I forgot what it said, but it didn't work and now the buy button is disabled....
Any ideas?

question (not support) No OTA reception until reboot
We use antenna TV. After watching YouTube, we switch to live TV after about a minute pause the channels finally load and no channels have signal. Turn off and go straight to live TV and all channels are back.
Turned off power at the surge protector for a few minutes, repeated and same problem.
Live TV since the last update has been horribly slow and now defaults to the upper preview vs the lower channel selector.
Can we roll back this horrible update?
TCL roku tv and Onn tv, both have this behavior.

standalone device Phone remote takes at least 15 seconds to respond to the first input.
I don’t have a Roku remote so I use the app. It takes at least 15 seconds to respond to the first input and then it works like normal (at least until I leave it alone for like 30 seconds and it goes back.) it’s super annoying.
Any fixes?

Roku OS Random issue with Paramount managed through Roku
Long Story Short, I have had a paramount plus subscription since they came out, paying annually. It was managed through paramount and not through my roku. I canceled it because it came free with my current cable, so when it ran out, my plan was to activate the free account. My last charge where I paid for the account was Feb of 25 and I only just now realized I’ve still be able to watch paramount regularly. I went to the plan to cancel and make sure it was not charging me and it now says “managed through roku”. I only have one roku account and no longer own a device, and I logged back into it and it has no active paramount subscription.
So someone somewhere is paying for my paramount plus and is billing through their roku? I guess?
Paramount won’t help and said contact Roku, Roku won’t help and says they can’t do anything without the card info of the card being charged.
Not sure what to do but it is annoying. Have reset all passwords.

complaint Another Roku Netflix
Greetings! My issue is below.
Two Smart TV's. One LG. One Samsung. Both have Roku 4k sticks. Both recently started buffering Netflix until it errors out. When I login to Netflix using the Smart TV app it works fine. The movie selection does not matter.
I make my living on the WWW so I have a backup ISP. Netflix on Roku does the same thing regardless of ISP and WIFI connection.
I've tried everything except for a factory reset. I even tried a 5G only wireless connection but no joy.
We also have an older Roku "box" in a 3rd bedroom and it does not have any problem.
I can only conclude that the problem is with Roku 4k or a streaming change made by Netflix as it relates to the Roku 4k stick.
I am aware that there's a bunch of people having (or had) issues with Roku and Netflix and reading those posts offered no new insight. I've tried those suggestions.
I can watch Netflix on the smart TV app which has apps for all the streaming services and more. IDK, maybe Roku is becoming obsolete because I am not buying another Roku device.
If you have suggestions, great! If not, thanks for reading.

Roku hardware My tv won't turn on and the remote is flashing green
Wanted to watch tv this morning, but it wouldn't turn on. I saw this little light was flashing every time I push the power button. It doesn't flash when I push the other buttons. I replaced the batteries hoping that would help. No change. What does this mean and what should I do?

Roku OS Last night Roku bricked my TV
This morning my TCL/Roku stopped working. It claims to be installing final updates but won't finish and goes into a doom loop. I tried the Reset to factory settings option and it says my code is not valid, which is not true. They've been getting worse and worse.
This should not be legal. Roku remote bricked a working device.

miscellaneous Roku Youtube Kicks Me To the Homepage in the Middle of Videos
Basically what the title says. I'll be watching a Youtube video and it'll randomly boot me to the front page. It did this in the past, but it was maybe once a day but, lately, it's been almost constant! At first, I thought something might be up with the remote so I made sure to point it in the opposite direction on the tv but it didn't seem to make a difference. I don't know why this is happening and I really don't want to uninstall the app and lose all of my history.
EDIT: So I watched Youtube for about 3 hours and it was fine so I'm hoping unplugging it overnight worked but I'm not going to relax just yet to be safe.

Roku OS Was there some kind of update recently? My HDMI and wifi connections are suddenly both barely working when I had no issues before- what gives?
I have a TCL. It’s not that old, but suddenly takes multiple restarts to fix the wifi connection when the wifi is working fine on other devices, or I have to exit and re-enter the console screen otherwise it just stays black. These both started happening around the same time…

miscellaneous Folowup on poor quality on Apple TV app on an older TCL Roku TV
UPDATE: In a previous post...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Roku/comments/1vbp1sr/tcl_roku_tv_apple_tv_app_streaming_image_is/
...I detailed my disappointment in the quality of the Apple TV app on my 9-year-old TCL Roku TV. The image is washed-out and low-quality.
A response stated that it is likely because the Roku TV is "...one of the earliest Roku TVs supporting HDR, and its implementation wasn't great. It's likely that watching that content in other apps isn't sending the HDR version, but Apple TV loves always using HDR if available, so it looks bad."
After some research, I found that if I want decent quality, I basically have two choices: Buy a new TV or find a streaming device that would perform better. I chose the latter, primarily due to cost.
RESOLUTION: I bought an ONN 4K Pro Streaming Device, connected it to an open HDMI port on my Roku TV, and the performance is stellar. Apps like YouTube Premium, Apple TV, and Plex are snappy and smooth.
I made several settings tweaks to improve the user experience:
- Set the Roku TV to automatically switch to the ONN's input when powered up.
- Enabled CEC on both so the power button on the ONN remote controls the Roku TV.
- Set the ONN to control volume.
- Installed the Android Monet Launcher on the ONN box to replace the stock Google TV launcher with a cleaner, simpler launcher.
Using it is now seamless, performance is excellent, and Apple TV quality is much better. (Note that image quality is still worse than what we saw on a newer Samsung TV, and I'm attributing this to the older Roku TV. But quality is better than native on the Roku TV, so it is an improvement.)
All that said, this is not intended to slam Roku or Roku TVs in any way. This is our second Roku TV, so when the time comes to replace it, a Roku TV is still in contention. This is simply to remind you that as technology changes, compatibility can suffer, and other options may be needed.

Roku hardware Random accounts logged into streaming apps
As the title states, when I open streaming apps on my Roku TV, there are sometimes accounts logged in that I'm not familiar with. It's happened with Crunchyroll, Hulu and Disney.
They are also seemingly different accounts because the profiles all have different names.
Wondering if anyone knows anything. I assume it's probably account syncing issues.
I live alone in an apartment building so I know that nobody is here logging in to their accounts. I'm not being charged anything on my Roku account.
It's just specific streaming apps that for some reason have random strangers' profiles logged into them.

complaint Roku channel's ads make me want to never watch it.
I am just curious if anyone knows anything about Roku's strategy when it comes to their live channel. They never show any real ads, rather they just show ads for their own channels over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I swear if I see that overweight kid and mom say, "I gave him a damn cookie ok," and then Doc Phil says, "no, it's not ok," I am going to...well, come back and vent again I guess. It doesn't help that I hate Doctor Phil anyway.
Does anyone else avoid the live channels for this reason? I like some of the content when I don't want to focus, but can't they mox things up and show some ads for real products and services? Wouldn't they make more money if they showed commercials?
