• Pause live TV
• Pause, resume, fast forward, and rewind TV shows. Simply connect your
own USB drive with 16GB or bigger capacity to the TV and pause live TV for
up to 90 minutes.
Note:
Live TV Pause is available on digital TV shows received on the
Antenna TV input, and only when the TV is linked to a valid Roku account.
• Watch the Roku Tips & Tricks channel
•
Only in the United States
, tune in to the Roku Tips & Tricks channel to
watch videos and learn more about your TV’s features, new products, and
popular support topics.
• Control your TV with voice commands
• Use your Roku Voice Remote (select models), Enhanced Voice Remote
(select models), or the free Roku mobile app to control your Roku TV. Use
conversational voice commands to search for programs by title, actor,
director, or genre. Also, use voice commands to launch streaming channels,
switch inputs, change Antenna TV channels, or open the Smart Guide.
Additionally, use voice commands to turn the display off (for enjoying
streaming music), turn closed captions on or off, and to replay the last few
seconds of a movie or TV show.
1
Only in the United States
, use these additional voice features:
• Set sleep timers with your voice. For example, say “Turn the TV off in 30
minutes”, or “Go to sleep at 11 p.m.”
• Use direct-to-playback voice commands to go directly to playing a
program whenever your search command can be uniquely identified and
the requested content is available at no additional cost to you.
2
• Search for movies based on popular quotes. For example, say “What
movie is this from – ‘Here’s looking at you, kid’.”
•
Only on 4K TVs
, say “Show me 4K movies” to see a list of 4K movies
available across participating streaming channels.
• Use voice commands to control the Roku Media Player. If you use the
Roku Media Player to play your personal music, movies, and photos, you
can use voice command to find and play your stored files. Say
commands like, “play classic rock on Roku Media Player,” “skip ahead 20
seconds,” or “play the next song.”
1
Voice features support English language only.
Voice search
in Canada is limited to title and actor. Voice
commands
are available only in the United States.
2
Direct-to-playback commands work with selected streaming channels. Direct playback occurs only
when there is a high confidence of match, the content is free or you are already subscribed, and the
channel is already added to your Home screen.
