Tips

Use the instant play button to rewind.

The Instant Replay button allows users to go back a few moments within the program quickly. Depending on the streaming channel, the Instant Replay Button rewinds a little bit longer or shorter, which varies from 10-15 seconds.

Arrange channel apps with the More options button.

By default, Roku channel apps are displayed in the order of installation on the Home page. But users are actually allowed to arrange them in the order they want. First, select a channel and press "More Options," then choose "Move Channel" and use the arrow keys to arrange it.

Use voice commands to launch.

To give a command, just press and hold the "Microphone" button and finish the command before releasing the button. The common commands include: "Launch XX", "Play XX", and "Search XX", etc. It's convenient anyways, as you probably won't ask for help with these brief sentences for protocol issues.
