Using your TV

This section provides information on using the day-to-day features of your TV.

Status indicator

Your TV has a single status indicator. It goes on and off and blinks in different ways depending on the status of the TV, as shown in the following table:

Standby mode energy savings

When you turn off your TV, it remains in a higher power mode for a few minutes, after which it goes into a very low power standby mode. If you turn on the TV again before it has entered the very low power mode, it turns on immediately. After the TV goes into the lower power standby mode, it takes a few seconds longer to start up.

Only in connected mode on TVs that do not have an Energy Star® rating, you can optionally enable Fast TV start. When this option is enabled, your TV starts up almost immediately regardless of how long it has been turned off, but uses somewhat more power in standby mode. For more information, see Fast TV start.

Getting help

The Roku Tips & Tricks channel has helpful videos about many aspects of using your TV. You can access the channel in two ways:

Select the Roku Tips & Tricks channel on the Home screen.
Navigate from the Home screen to Settings > Help and select Launch Roku Tips & Tricks.

Opting in to Smart TV experience (U.S. only)

Only in connected mode in the United States, the first time you select Antenna TV, an HDMI input, or AV input, your TV offers to enable the Smart TV experience. If you decide to enable it at this time, you’re all set to enjoy its recommendations and features.

The Smart TV experience uses automatic content recognition (ACR) and other technology to collect information about what you watch through your Antenna TV, and on devices like media players and cable boxes connected to the HDMI or AV inputs. Opting in means that you give permission to analyze the programs you watch for the purpose of making recommendations, as well showing ads that are more relevant to you.

If you decide not to enable the Smart TV experience at this first opportunity, you can enable it later. Or, if you decide you’d rather not use the feature, you can disable it, but be aware that previously collected information is retained and not deleted.

Disable Smart TV experience

If you decide you want to disable Smart TV experience, follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience.

2. Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs.

3. Press OK on the remote to clear the check box.

Disable Auto Notifications

If you want to keep the Smart TV experience enabled, but you do not want to see notifications while you are watching shows, you can disable notifications. To do so, follow these steps:

From the Home screen, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience.
Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs.
Press DOWN on the remote to highlight Enable auto notifications.
Press OK on the remote to clear the check box.

Note: These settings do not affect recommendations for More Ways to Watch that you see in the Smart Guide when watching Antenna TV channels. Those recommendations come from the Smart Guide and do not rely on ACR technology.

Only in connected mode in the United States, use the Smart Guide to find over-the-air TV shows through the Antenna TV input. The Smart Guide lets you scroll through all TV channels (except those you have hidden, if any). You can see all the shows from today, the previous 7 days, and the upcoming 14 days.

The ability to see shows that have already aired during the previous week enables you to use More Ways to Watch to catch up on missed movies or episodes by selecting them from one of the streaming channels. Your clue that there are More Ways to

Watch a show is a purple asterisk () next to the program name in the guide. For example, you might turn on your TV at 10 minutes past the hour and discover you are missing the current episode of Empire. But there is a purple asterisk next to the show title, so you can press and find that there are several streaming channels where you can watch the current episode from the beginning. You also can find more episodes of Empire, and other shows that have a similar theme.

Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.

To view the Smart Guide, press the LEFT arrow. The Smart Guide opens showing the name of the current program highlighted, and a lot more information.

Pausing Live TV

Live TV Pause gives your Roku TV the ability to pause, play, fast forward, and rewind digital Antenna TV. You can pause Antenna TV for up to 90 minutes.

Requirements

To use this feature, you need to:

1. Connect your TV to the Internet. If you didn’t connect during Guided Setup, see What if I didn’t connect my TV?.

2. Provide your own dedicated USB flash drive (thumb drive} with the following minimum specifications.

• 16 GB

• 15 Mbps read/write speed

• USB 2.0 compliant

A USB flash drive (thumb drive) meeting the minimum requirements is highly recommended over an externally-powered hard disk drive. Note that you can use any larger size drive—there is no limit to the maximum size—but using a larger drive does not extend the 90-minute pause time.

Important: After warning you and giving you a chance to cancel Live TV Pause setup, all existing content on your USB drive is erased when you enable this feature.

3. Connect your USB drive to the TV’s USB port.

Important: Some TV models have more than one USB port. You can connect your Live TV Pause USB drive to any port, but make sure that nothing is connected to other USB ports while enabling Live TV Pause. Reconnect other USB devices after you have finished enabling Live TV Pause.

4. Enable Live TV Pause, as explained in the following topic.

Enabling Live TV

Pause You can start setting up Live TV Pause in any of the following ways:

• After completing a channel scan, select Set up Live TV Pause from the available options.

• Press Play/Pause on the Roku remote while watching a digital Antenna TV channel.

• Highlight the Antenna TV tile on the Home screen, press on the remote, and then select Enable Live TV Pause

After starting setup of Live TV Pause in any of these ways, the TV prompts you through the steps needed to enable this feature. Setup takes only a few moments.

Note: Use of a USB hub is not supported. Using Live TV Pause If you have used the Roku remote to watch streaming channels, using Live TV Pause should be very familiar to you.

• While watching a digital Antenna TV channel, press PLAY/PAUSE to pause or play the content. After the TV program has been paused for 90 minutes, the TV resumes playing.
• After watching a channel for a while, press REWIND to jump back up to the point where you first started watching the channel, up to 90 minutes.

• When the program is paused, press the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to move forward and backward through the program approximately 10 seconds per press. Small frames appear across the screen to identify your location in the program.

Note: If the button is not available on your remote, you can use the Roku mobile app. For more information, see Roku mobile app.

Whenever you use any of the Live TV Pause features, the TV momentarily displays a progress bar:

1. Time at current playback position.

2. Current playback position

3. Extent of pause time, representing the amount of time this channel has been buffered, up to 90 minutes.

4. 90-minute mark, representing the maximum extent of pause time.

5. Current time.

The progress bar also displays tick marks at each half hour point, to help you locate the boundaries where one show ends and a new one begins.

Notes about Live TV Pause

• You can use Live TV Pause only with digital broadcast and cable channels received through the TV’s ANT input (ATSC and Clear QAM channels).

• Changing channels erases and restarts the Live TV Pause buffer.

• Returning to the Home screen, selecting another input, or turning off the TV erases and resets the Live TV Pause buffer.

• Disconnecting the USB drive erases the Live TV Pause buffer.

More Ways to Watch (U.S. only)

Only in connected mode in the United States, More Ways to Watch gives you recommendations about the shows you’re watching on the Antenna TV, HDMI, or AV input. You will automatically get these recommendations in the Smart Guide and in the program information banner for Antenna TV programs. However, before you can get recommendations for shows you’re watching through the HDMI or AV inputs, you must opt into the Smart TV experience to acknowledge that you want to allow the TV to use automatic content recognition (ACR). See Opting in to Smart TV experience for details.

Not every show provides recommendations. For details about what you’ll see when a recommendation appears, see Using More Ways to Watch.

Using More Ways to Watch

As you use More Ways to Watch, be aware that you’ll only see suggestions on your TV when all of the following conditions are met:

Your TV is operating in connected mode in the United States.
If you are watching shows through and HDMI or AV input, you’ve enabled Smart TV experience. (If you are watching Antenna TV channels, this setting does not matter.)
The program you’re watching contains the information needed to identify it. Note that some programs, such as the daily news, typically do not activate More Ways to Watch.
At least one participating streaming channel offers the movie or TV show you are watching, or other episodes, or more shows like the one you are watching.

If all of these conditions are met, you can view the suggestions. More Ways to Watch recommendations appear in several places:

When watching the HDMI and AV inputs, you’ll see a More Ways to Watch notification in the lower right corner of the screen for a few seconds unless you have disabled Enable auto notifications.

Note: After this banner disappears, you can restore the More Ways to Watch prompt by pressing OK

For shows on Antenna TV channels, check the program information banner that appears for a few moments when you change channels or when you press OK while watching a show. If your TV has suggestions, you’ll see a More Ways to Watch notification in the banner:

In the Smart Guide, you can view More Ways to Watch recommendations on any program that shows a purple asterisk next to its title:

Regardless of which More

Ways to Watch prompt appears, press to see the recommendations. The options you’ll see depend on the type of show you’re watching and the available ways there are to watch, so you might see any or all of the following:

Watch from beginning – Streaming channels on which the same TV show or movie is available. Generally, this option does not appear on first run programs, because streaming content is not available until a later date.
More episodes – Streaming channels where you can find other episodes of the TV show you are watching. Does not apply to movies.
More like this –TV shows or movies with a similar theme.
View full description – Full description of the selected show.

Press the DOWN arrow to select an option, and then press the RIGHT arrow to select the channel you want to use to watch from the beginning or watch more episodes, or the other TV show or movie with a similar theme.

Assuming you’ve already added the channel and completed any required sign-in, More Ways to Watch takes you directly to the program in the streaming channel where you can select and watch the program. Otherwise, it prompts you to add the channel and, if you do, then takes you to the show

Getting the most from More Ways to Watch

• Streaming channels you’ve already installed appear first in the list of suggestions.

• When you select a streaming channel, you leave the program you are currently watching.

• If you’ve used the Live TV Pause feature to pause the program, your paused program buffer is deleted. In other words, you cannot return to an Antenna TV channel and resume watching where you left off.

Even though the other settings are hidden, you can move the highlight up or down to adjust the other settings. As soon as you press the UP or DOWN arrow, the other settings become visible again.

Note: Some streaming channels assign the button to a different function, meaning it will not open the Options menu. In these cases, use a different channel, such as The Roku Channel, to configure options. The selected settings remain active for all streaming channels.

Options menu settings

Sleep timer – Sets a timer that turns off the TV after the specific amount of time. This setting remains in effect even if you stop watching the current input.

To use the Picture settings menu, first press to display the Options menu. Then select Picture settings.

Typical Picture settings menu

Note: Some streaming channels assign the  button to a different function, meaning it will not open the Options menu. In these cases, use a different channel, such as The Roku Channel, to configure Picture settings. The selected settings remain active for all streaming channels.

Picture settings menu options

Note: Picture settings vary by brand and model. Not all settings are available on all TVs. Names of certain settings also vary by brand and might differ from the names listed here.

Picture mode – Provides picture presets for various viewing preferences. This setting duplicates the one on the Options menu. When you change the Picture mode, other picture settings adjust accordingly. For example, setting the Picture mode to Vivid sets Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and other values to produce a very vibrant picture. Setting Picture mode to Movie changes the settings to produce a picture suitable for enjoying movies in a darkened room. If you make changes to the individual picture settings—for example, Contrast, or Sharpness—these settings are saved for the current input and the current picture mode. In this way, you can set HDMI 1 input’s Movie picture mode to use different settings than the HDMI 2 input’s Movie picture mode and Antenna TV’s Movie picture mode. Use Reset picture settings, described below, to return the input’s selected picture mode to its original values.
Local dimming – Only on select models: Sets the amount of dimming applied to multiple areas of the screen’s backlight intensity. This setting can make dark areas darker without affecting the brightness of light areas.
Dynamic contrast – Only on select models: Automatically adjusts the backlight level to achieve the optimum contrast and prevent excessive differences between light and dark areas of the screen.
Micro contrast – Only on select models: Improves image contrast.
Backlight - Adjusts the overall light intensity of the screen.
Brightness – Adjusts the dark level of the picture.
Contrast – Adjusts the white level of the picture.
Sharpness – Adjusts the sharpness of edges in the picture.
Color – Adjusts the saturation of colors in the picture. A setting of 0 removes all color and displays a black and white picture.
Tint – Adjusts the color balance from green to red to obtain accurate colors in the picture.
Color temperature – Adjusts the overall color tones in the picture from Normal to slightly more bluish (Cool) to slightly more reddish (Warm).
Frame rate conversion – Only on select models. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. Adjusts the amount of motion processing applied to the video signal. A higher setting results in more smoothing, but can cause undesirable picture artifacts in certain types of content. Each Picture mode has a different default setting.
Film mode – Only on select models. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. When enabled, this feature reduces “judder” that is often present when 24 frame-per-second movies are upscaled to 60Hz TV standards. Film mode is On by default in Movie and HDR Dark picture modes, and Off by default in other picture modes.
Blur reduction – Only on select 120Hz models. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. Reduces blur, especially for fast-moving images such as sports.
Black frame insertion – Only on select models that also have the local dimming feature. Each TV brand uses a different name for this option. Reduces motion blur caused by the refresh rate of the screen. Enabling this feature inserts black frames between picture frames in a way that improves the clarity of fast moving objects. It provides an improved viewing experience for video games and sporting events, but reduces the brightness of the picture. You can choose settings of Low, Medium, High, or Off to achieve the desired picture quality.
Game mode – Only on HDMI® and AV inputs: Controls whether Game mode is enabled. When On, the TV performs less image processing and has less input lag. When Off, the TV performs more image processing and has more input lag, which is less desirable for action games.

Only on select models: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) detects when certain game consoles are connected to an HDMI input, and automatically configures the best settings for action games. When ALLM is active, the manual Game mode setting is not available.

Note: If you have paired Roku Wireless Speakers with your TV, enabling Game mode switches sound back to the internal TV speakers to avoid latency or lag in game play. Disabling Game mode switches sound back to the Roku Wireless Speakers.

Reset picture settings – Returns all picture settings for the input’s currentlyselected Picture mode to their original values.

Tip: To dismiss the Picture settings menu, just wait a few seconds without pressing any buttons. Or press again to dismiss the menu immediately.
