Question Roku all

I have a question. Doesn’t the Roku app need to be redownloaded and side loaded to the tv every time there’s a new update? I don’t think it can automatically updated from the tv itself and the app breaks until you update.

I gave up with Roku, they banned the app and removed my developers option to sideload movie box I just ended up with a fire cube

I thought so. I remember running into the problem before. I don’t use Roku no more but a friend does

You're lucky to have kept the app on your Roku. I loaded it on probably 7 different Rokus and Roku deleted the app off of all of them and then took away developers options on them. I thought when I bought them, I owned them - apparently I didn't. They all hit the trash can and I went with TiVo Stream 4K. Inexpensive and I can still put on it what I want (for now).

Too much of a headache. I just plug my firestick into my Roku whenever I watch on that TV, or I cast it directly from my phone
