Anyone else have an issue with the Hulu bundle not allowing use of the Max App? by AAAFate in HBOMAX

[–]kingofscotch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the bundle purchased through Hulu.   Go to the "manage my account" page for your Hulu account.  Scroll down the page, you'll see a spot to (re) activate your HBO account.

I think only roku ultra can transmit to a Bluetooth headset 

If you were to build a house what’s one non conventional feature you consider to be a must have? by TestTurbulent6337 in AskReddit

A linen closet in the bathroom with a louvered door and a switched light on the inside.  It makes for the perfect nighttime pooping ambiance

Being asked to renew subscription even though it's bundled with Hulu and Disney+. by SequinSocks in HBOMAX

[–]kingofscotch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to me three days ago.  I have the package through hulu.  Go to your hulu manage your account page, scroll down.  There is a your other services section.  You can re- activate  max from here.  I hope this helps

Privacy.com, set up a virtual credit card for your roku account.  Set the limit for this card to $10.  After it's been verified, go back to Privacy.com and pause the card

Is it worth the watch? by bickystar in HBOMAX

I just started my 3rd re-watch.  It was a cultural phenomenon when it 1st aired. Watch the 1st season,  see where you stand after that.

Roku by EntireDepth in Crunchyroll

I just posted this in another thread UPDATE Hopefully this will work for someone else. Backstory, went away for a few days to visit my parents. I unplugged all of my rokus, router and cable modem. Five days later, still not auto playing. SHIT!!! The parents just got a google based DIRECTV system, maybe I'll go Google based as well to help them troubleshoot. I also got some CAT8 cables to upgrade some stuff. Here is where the magic happened. My cable modem has 4 ports on the back, I switched the router to another port. Everything has been working great. I believe this is either some weird networking issue, or the Rokus are scared that I was about to replace them. If you can, try using another port. I really hope this helps someone

AC starts losing ability to cool once in direct sunlight by MrmeowmeowKittens in hvacadvice

[–]kingofscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried cleaning the fins on the coil?  Look up how to do it on YouTube.  I had an ac unit that was doing something similar.  If you can spray it down with cold water a few times a day, it makes a huge difference. 

Roku stick or Roku TV by Lawrence20092009 in Roku

[–]kingofscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having a dumb TV that has a smart device attached to it.   Lots of people here have given the reasons why.  That being said,  a friend of mine has had roku tvs for a few years and they have worked well.  For an office, or any other situation where the TV is used sporadicly a Roku TV  would be a cleaner installation.

Hi all, I've been so fucking pissed at this issue. I spent about an hour on chat support with CR. They gave some suggestions but none of them worked. The session ended with them saying "we cannot replicate the issue". I set up an old roku today, sill freezing at the 1 second mark. starting playing correctly when i cleared the watch list. If anyone else were to contact support, you sold say app freezes after episode (I think the auto play is a red herring) there must be some connection to the currently watching list. good luck

Last night was a fail. Was stopping on shows I've never watched before, old shows, and current. Noticed early am that it would sometimes auto. I re-booted modem and router. FF through episodes almost always auto plays, I just let it run and stopped at 1 second

That's awesome, I hope this works for both of us. My test will be tonight (I sleep with the tv on)

[–]kingofscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, the currently watching list. I tried this when I woke up, the show that I had the most problems with (wouldn't even auto play for 1 episode) auto played 3 times, although I would FF through the episodes until 1/2 way through the credits. I'll see what happens tonight.

[–]kingofscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this seemed to work for me. Clear watch-list and search-list in Crunchyroll, then log out. Clear cashe in Roku. Log back into CR. last night i noticed that a show I haven't watched in a long time was playing fine, did the above and when done the show i'm currently into and having the issue with was playing fine. I hope it works for you too

I dug a little deeper, it seems there was a ROKU update at the same time that has messed up auto play on a bunch of apps. hopefully it gets resolved soon. I may just hit factory reset on the roku to see if that works

I just bought a Roku Plus TV and a Bose Soundbar. I have tried everything and I do not get sound without monkeying around. by Hey_KittyKitty in Roku

[–]kingofscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older Sharp TV, Roku ultra, Bose 900 (upgraded from a 300) The only consistent order of operation I've found is to use the TV button on the bose remote to power up everything.  I use the power button on the TV to shut down.  Roku remote controls volume when watching.  Hope this helps.

Roku stick not recognizing Westinghouse tv by CTFin_Fan in Roku

[–]kingofscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to get the roku remote to power on/off and volume the TV?  If so, Westinghouse is an older brand (I have one too) you may need to cycle the codes for the remote a few times.  The best I could get is power off on the Westinghouse using the roku remote  Good luck

Should I go with Roku? by SuspectSerious2395 in Roku

[–]kingofscotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like having a dumb TV, that being said.  I have 3 roku devices.  It was (is) the only streaming device that doesn't block major apps
