I own a one year old Roku 50 inch Smart TV model number 50 s 451.

I am older and sometimes have problems with hearing the audio, therefore, I utilize closed captioning to be able to not have the TV too loud. Also I speak Spanish, and sometimes I will put the Spanish programming with subtitles because they speak too fast for my understanding.

But ever since I bought this particular television I've had real struggles getting the closed captioning to work.

Is there any insight from any other users?

I have unplugged and rebooted the TV.

I have deleted channels and reinstalled them on the streaming platform. But, I still cannot see the subtitles.

I would appreciate any kind of input that you would able to offer.

Thank you in advance.

What is “on its way”?

I currently have a Samsung QN85B a really great TV and I love Roku so I currently have a Roku stick the 4K streamer plus… I've noticed some buffering and kind of a little bit laggy at times I don't know if it's just the processor. Would I notice a significant difference of upgraded to the LT or the top-of-the-line ultra? One is about $65 the top of the line is about $81… Would I notice a significant difference from my current 4K stick? I do have a Samsung sound bar that has Atmos capability I know the top-of-the-line Roku ultra has that also but not sure if I would notice the difference… Any advice?

I recently was gifted a non-smart TV. I want to hook it up to my wifi and also to my apple laptop. I a Roku the way to go? If so, what do I need to get? Looks like you can get some earlier generation devices for cheap? What's the difference between the old and the new? I want to use Apple Screen mirroring with it, does Roku let that happen?

I have a 128 GB thumb drive with some movies on it. Movies will play on my streaming box but not on my USB port directly on the TV even though the thumb drive is formatted exfat32. New ONN TV with Roku OS. Asking because I want to know if I am missing something. TV has Roku media player built-in and I went into system settings to enable the USB to recognize it. But it doesn't even recognize the drive.

Hello! My dad and I got a new TV for my mom, and I have been reading up on many of the 2+ year old posts with similar titles and questions, and unfortunately the older things that worked no longer work for this purpose.

My mom is hard of hearing and my dad and I bought her a pair of headphones (Avantree) which work, but my dad wants to be able to watch the same thing with her with the TV speakers (or any speakers that would work at the same time) and control the volume separately as what works for her is very loud, but for him it's blasting his ears out lol

The smartphone / app option does not really work as they're not very tech savvy. I'm trying to figure out how I can split the audio with separate volume controls. I've tried many things and nothing worked thus far, so please explain to me like I'm 5 if you have a solution please!

I will say, cords/cables are not an issue if they're needed, if there's a solution for TV speakers and the headset to both work and a long cable will be a solution, I can do that!

For reference, the TV is the "Roku 55" Class Select Series 4K QLED Smart RokuTV (2026) and the Avantree headphones are the "Avantree Opera Plus - Wireless TV Headphones with HDMI ARC Input"

Thank you!!

I have a Roku Ultra connected to a TCL Roku TV and since the last update when the Ultra is in 4K I either get a black screen or a very distorted screen. I have tried 4K Dolby Vision HDR TV, 4K HDR TV and 4K TV with same results while 1080p TV works fine.

Another TCL Roku TV was randomly playing audio from the Live TV Guide app (selection preview) that was placed as the first app on the Home screen while the TV was powered off. Simply moving the app over a spot stopped it from playing audio.

My sister has some Beats by Dre and wants to bluetooth them to her Philips Roku TV. I've looked through settings, Remotes and Devices, and other options but never found an option for it.

We tried to bluetooth them through the 'bluetooth speakers' option but they never showed up; they did show up on my phone so I know the bluetooth was active.

The tv has options for speakers, subwoofers, etc but there's no option for 'headphones'.

If it helps the Philips model is 65PUL6553/F7.
