Keeping your Roku device up to date isn\u2019t difficult, as your Roku player will automatically check for the latest software when you first set it up, whenever it\u2019s turned on, and at regular intervals every few days. These updates will be downloaded and installed in the background, so they won\u2019t disturb whatever you\u2019re watching. So if your Roku device is always running the latest software version, you might think there\u2019s no need to check manually. \n<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Should You Check For Updates Manually?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might decide you need to check for manual updates if your device has been disconnected for a while, for example, during a power outage or moving house \u2014 or if you\u2019ve recently added a new channel<\/a> that\u2019s non-certified. In this case, you should update Roku devices manually.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
