Question 1

Can I buy and use the battery powered remote with this one? Don’t really wanna charge a remote.

Accepted Answer

Even better...
Install The Roku App (Official) on your cellphone, pair it to your Roku device, and never charge or replace a battery again. It doesn't even eat up the battery load on my iPhone 14.
There are several third party Roku apps that are rated as well, but I stick to the vendor's version to avoid security and other issues.
The other upside is being able to control the "listen" feature by simply disallowing mic access to the app, since others have pointed out that there is no way to this feature.

Question 2

Can i watch msnbc channel live  in this

Accepted Answer

Hello! Yes, MSNBC Live is available inside of the NBC News Channel. You only have to download the NBC News Channel to your Roku device.

You can also pay for subscription apps to access your favorite live TV channels, such as CBS all access, Direct TV now, Hulu + Live TV, Playstation Vue, Sling TV, and Youtube TV.

Happy Streaming!

Question 3

If i have a smart wifi connected tv with apps built in, how why would i need this roku?  does it improve the tv somehow (signal, dolby atmos, etc)?

Accepted Answer

You have to decide if buying the Roku experience is worth the money. I bought a top-of-the-line LG OLED smart TV and still haven't figured out how to navigate the "apps". I have Roku on three other non-smart TVs and love the way it works. I'm buying the Roku Ultra today for the LG. I think some of the problem is that the TV manufacturers take money from media providers to showcase their products. So, Disney+ pays LG but Paramount+ doesn't. Guess which one is easy to find?

Question 4

Can you voice activate subtitles (closed captioning)?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Simply say, "Hey Roku, turn on subtitles" and the closed captioning will be turned on.
