#SHOWBOX ON ROKU WITH IPHONE TV#
From the “Devices” tab at the bottom of the screen, you can toggle between, say, your bedroom TV’s Roku and the Roku TV you’ve got in your living room. Quite conveniently, Roku has its own downloadable app that lets you control any of your home Roku devices from the comfort of your phone. First things first, though, and that was looking into whether I could find an iPhone replacement for my ever-slippery Roku remote. What I do use quite a bit, as I’m sure you all do too, are Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, and whatever other streaming platforms are currently draining my bank account as efficiently as a cable bill ever has. Of course, I don’t use Chromecast all that much unless I’m dealing with (obnoxious entertainment-writer privilege incoming) online screeners. Up until last fall, when Google released its new Chromecast with Google TV - which featured a dedicated remote, familiarly pill-shaped, of course - the only options for controlling your Chromecast were to either hack your TV remote or use the Google Home app on your phone. Let’s start with the good news: If you make frequent use of Google Chrome, you’ve likely already used your phone as a remote. Alas, like most things in 2021, this task, too, proved to be more challenging than I’d realized. Naturally, if given the choice between the lubed-up suppository supplied by these streaming devices or the familiar, angular device that sits in my hand all day anyway, I would much rather use my phone as a remote control.

Or whatever it is that has decreed that this generation of remote controls be shaped like engorged bean pods and factory-coated with the spray Clark Griswold coated the bottom of his sled with in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation so that the act of reaching for your remote control becomes an Olympic-level test of grip strength and - after it inevitably slips free from your hand - quick reflexes. As with everything dumb, this seems to stem from a misjudgment of form over function. Actually, I don’t, because I probably would end up wailing incoherently. Who designed the remote control for a Roku? Or an Amazon Fire Stick? Or an Apple TV? Where are they right now? I just want to talk. The point is these minor iterations that roku is doing are simply insufficient and will likely mean they can be easily killed by another company, if it wants to get into its space.Photo-Illustration: by Vulture Photo Getty Images To people who say "why would you want that".look at my example of what happened to compact cameras when they didnt bother to truly innovate and go along with the times. Allow for android/ios level gaming so it can double as a gaming console, video calling with an added camera. Allow you connect to LAN and display content off the lan network(built in).

it needs to allow users to be able to sync with your mobile phone and be able to display notifications mid show - (it can be turned off). The current iterations of rokus coming out are simply too boring to merit any true innovation, For roku to not be wiped out within 3 years to 5 years.

Samsung 8 comes with Samsung dex which can already double as a PC if you hook it to a montior. They can already play games,email,send text etc. While i do currently like roku, one day i ended up thinking, what is preventing apple or samsung from simply making the next version of their phones capable of doubling as a streaming device(allowing you to plug your phone into the tv physically or wirelessly and getting access to various channels via a nice UI). Now it seems silly that phones dont have cameras and even sillier for why people would want to buy a compact camera. The users in IRC simply said."why would you want that" and now since the introduction of cameras on phones compact camera sales have plummeted.

Firstly let me say i remember back in the 90s inquiring on a IRC woudlnt it be cool if a phone could take pictures. Since Roku released its ipo and it has for now done pretty well, however as a streaming platform with a hard ware and device solution, I have serious SERIOUS questions about its future.
