Robert Novak commented on 30 Aug 2015

I am considering getting Roku. My wireless carrier is Comcast and I have been hearing from other Comcast customers who have purchased Roku but having problems connecting to Comcast wireless. Anyone else having issues with Roku trying to connect to Comcast wireless? Thank you.

Alicia Giralt commented on 04 Oct 2015

+Robert Novak. Yes, but the problem seems to be with my router, not with Comcast. I will have to return my Roku since I don't want to buy a new router.

Jocelyn Johnson commented on 24 Aug 2015

I followed the instructions and the Roku screen never showed up.

+Jocelyn Johnson Thank you Jocelyn. That was my problem.

Jocelyn Johnson commented on 25 Oct 2015

+Donna Fletcher Did you make sure you changed the input to reflect where the Roku is?

Latisha Alford commented on 01 Dec 2015

+Melissa Gerber Can you pull the TV away from the wall and look at the slot. USB is rectangular. The HDMI port reminds me of the shape of a capital letter D.

RobertaGail Rudolf commented on 29 Jun 2015

Hi Latisha, Thank you so much for allowing us to view your tutorial in your beautiful home, by the way!!! I just purchased my Roku Stick and it is on its way from Amazon and due here tomorrow. Your instructions were great and I look forward to setting my Roku up tomorrow as I have been streaming from my laptop for the past almost 2 weeks. And now I can clear away all the cables and boxes from my past cable service and my recent sattelite service. :) Much appreciation for you taking the time to do this tutorial for the public, especially me who is so reticent when it comes to electronics and making changes with it. Blessings!

Latisha Alford commented on 17 Oct 2015

Thanks for your kind words. You are very welcome!

Latisha Alford commented on 18 Apr 2015

+Pro Tech Guy We are scheduled to cut the cord on May 31. That is when our subscription expires. Thanks for sharing that you are a cord cutter and are thoroughly enjoying your Roku three. Gives us something to look forward to.

that was too simple. The video should go on to tell you how to connect to wifi and select netflix, hulu, etc.

Lani13310 commented on 15 Jul 2015

You literally use the buttons to scroll

You can also check out the WD Live Box on my video page that I did a review of in the last couple months. This is a competitive option to Roku. I haven't seen much for parental controls on the Roku or WD LIve box, however I feel like that is going to be controlled more on the individual "channels" you subscribe to. Netflix has a "Kids only" page that you might be interested in where they put kid-friendly movies. This comes up when you launch the app on WD-Live, not sure about the Roku, though.

kevintalkstech commented on 07 Sep 2013

If you go onto the Netflix website and login to your account, then go to the "Settings" area using the menu on the upper-right part of the page, you can change some options to make Netflix more kid friendly. Use the "Parental Controls" to adjust the type of movies that pop upon screen. You can also create different user profiles and make one profile kid-friendly. I believe these settings translate over to the Roku, but you may have to log into the computer Netflix account and change the

kevintalkstech commented on 07 Sep 2013

If you live in a major metro area, I would consider getting a strong antenna and just keeping that hooked up to receive local channels. If you don't have a DTV, you will need the converter box as you mentioned. You can also check with your cable company to see if there is a cheap option to just get local channels and the other basics.

sonicteam2k1 commented on 24 Feb 2013

roku does not require a monthly subscription "Roku does not charge a monthly fee. Simply access your existing subscriptions like Netflix, Hulu Plus or HBO GO. Enjoy all the free movies, shows, and music. Or browse the latest blockbusters on demand." taken from their website

Kelli Hillman commented on 02 Jan 2015

Your tutorial would be sooooo much better if you increase your volume! I can barely hear what your saying and since I have no sound problems with the other videos that means its your volume thats the problem. Other than the diminished sound your tutorial is good.

Richard Woodberry commented on 01 Jan 2013

Hey I have a few questions.How many channels are free?Also can u get this at Wal-Mart?And do u get channels like metv,antennatv,thistv,and such?Also do u get enough free channels to not have to bother with cable again as I only watch about 8-10 channels on cable?

kevintalkstech commented on 07 Sep 2013

Oh, my mistake if I did say that! It's a one-time price. However, if you do want to get paid "channels" on the Roku (such as Netflix, Hulu, etc) there will be monthly fees, starting at about $8 per month for one of those services.

kevintalkstech commented on 07 Sep 2013

Depends on the Roku you buy. The Roku LT (the cheapest) is a wireless only connection as is the Roku HD and Roku 2. I believe the Roku 3 does have an ethernet connection in addition to the WiFi.

kevintalkstech commented on 07 Sep 2013

Finally, if you have internet through the cable company try hooking your TV up to cable and doing a channel scan. Sometimes you get some free local channels if you have cable internet.

kevintalkstech commented on 07 Sep 2013

settings back and forth depending on who is watching Netflix. Netflix may make this easier to manage on streaming devices like TVs and tablets later if they haven't already.

justYouJesus1God commented on 16 Jan 2013

did you mention youtube, is there a charge. Which one is the best, you mentioned you have reviewed a few others. I want something that has parental controls on movies.

Quinetta James commented on 10 May 2015

every time I watched movies or favorites my cable company charges extra. I've tried to watch my Roku it freezes ,then it stops working. What do I do now?

kevintalkstech commented on 18 Feb 2013

Hi Wenceslao -- Unfortunately, the Roku does not come with an HDMI cable. You will need to supply one.

creolelady182 commented on 15 Jun 2013

Did you say this box runs you about 40 to 80 dollars a month. i thought it was a one time only price!

susan koukas commented on 11 Jan 2013
