There are a number of ways to optimize your TV’s operating system for faster performance. Here are my go-tos.
Nothing kills the vibe of a good show faster than the dreaded spinning icon or random freezes. If your Roku TV is stuttering or buffering, don’t give up — here’s how to fix it.
Like phones and computers, Rokus have caches that accumulate temporary data, which inevitably slows them down over time. There are simple ways to clear up this hidden clutter and get your Roku TV behaving like its normal, healthy self.
Here are a few methods to clear your Roku’s cache, improve its speed, and make shows play smoothly again.1. Start by unplugging it
This one almost sounds too easy to bother with, but it’s commonly the first step tech troubleshooters take when fixing fussy devices. Sometimes it even does the trick. Unplug the unit, walk away for a few minutes to let all those electronic pulses fizzle out, and plug it back in.2. Restart via settings
This isn’t a factory reset, but you won’t want to do it in the middle of watching «Yellow Jackets» because your regularly scheduled program will definitely be interrupted. Follow these steps, and your TV should restart in about 30 seconds.
From the Home screen, go to Settings (at the end of the list).
Select System, then Power.
Choose System Restart and confirm by clicking Restart.
