Common questions
Why do I need to create a Roku account?
Before you can start streaming, channels must be downloaded and installed on
your streaming player. You’ll need a Roku account to access the Roku Channel
Store, manage your subscriptions, view your purchase history, and add a
payment method. For more info, visit
go.roku.com/whyaccount
Why do I need to enter a credit card?
Saving a payment method makes it easy to rent or buy movies on demand,
subscribe to popular services, and enroll in free trials. Charges will not be
made without your authorization. For more information, visit
go.roku.com/paymenthelp
What should I do if my streaming player is not connecting to my wireless
network?
Your streaming player connects to your wireless network the same as your
laptop or smartphone. If these other devices can access the internet, then
your streaming player should be able to do the same. Make sure to select the
same network name, and enter the same password you use with the other devices.
Remember that passwords are case-sensitive and easy to enter incorrectly. For
more help, visit

Can I take my Roku streaming player with me when I travel?
Yes. You can bring your streaming player and watch your favorite entertainment
when you travel. Remember to also bring the power adaptor, remote, and any
cables you use to connect your streaming player at home. Make sure your
destination has a good internet connection. You may need a computer or
smartphone to help connect your streaming player to a new wireless network.

Can you turn the wireless off so that it is not transmitting at all? (as I prefer to use the ethernet (wired) method with less emfs.)
okay so here is the deal, if you wish to do this it can be done. however the moment you do it the only remotes you will be able to use will be ir capable. this means the remote that came with it will nolonger be point anywhere. if this is okay with you then you need to go Open Settings screen of the Roku device >Select System >Select Advance system settings >Select Device connect
Choose Disable Device Connect > once you do that the wifi on the Roku Ultra will be wired only. unfortunately you cannot turn off the wifi direct of the remote so if you wish for a remote that doesn’t do that you can get Roku ir remotes pretty cheap right here on Amazon
How do i know if i am watching something in dolby vision as compared to hdr from the previous roku ultra?
Forrest: Netflix offering a program in Dolby Vision does not mean the device is outputting it as such. You would need confirmation from your display. There have been a number of reports of this Roku actually not outputting DolbyVision … or even HDR on programs which have it available.
