RenoF250 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I just got a new 4k Roku TV to use as a monitor. I am sitting here using it and it goes to a YouTube screen (native to the TV NOT on my computer) and says something about logging in and then says "Kate's device has successfully connected" and then starts playing a video!?!?!?!?!?!? Seems to me if it is set for HDMI input the rassmfrasser should stay on HDMI until told otherwise and I have no idea who Kate is. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Sounds like Kate is casting to your TV. Devilish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 What is Kate's device, and to what is she connecting it? Is Kate hawt? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Somewhere, Kate is making angry posts on a forum, complaining about how her new TV won't connect and play youtube. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was registered to your new invisible tenant. There should be the ability for a full system reset. If not, I have no idea what I'm talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoF250 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Kate turned out to be one of the daughters friends sleeping over. I need to find out if she has the Roku app. Still that is piss poor, you should have to register devices to control the TV. No, TV was bought new and had no signs of being opened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Huaco, you sure about that added "A"? Does that always apply or do rules of grammar apply? Like, if I see something I don't recognize, it's WTF. Or if I see something and recognize it halfway through my exclamation, it would be"I..............WT,...AF!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me if it is set for HDMI input the rassmfrasser should stay on HDMI until told otherwise and I have no idea who Kate is. I once bought a fancy computer in the sealed box at a store downtown. I got it home and it wouldn't access until I entered the password. It was not supposed to have a password entered previously and yet sold as "new". I took it back and the store simply shrugged. I was pissed that I was sold something that had been fiddled with before it was sold to me yet they still claimed "right from the factory".

It still had all of the syran wrap on the edges and the bags were sealed. I also just went through all of the settings and there are no paired devices. I told it to always block screen mirroring - it was set to prompt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I'd sit and watch Kate's youtubes. You might just learn some interesting stuff. Then, at least, drop obscure hints whenever she's around, just to wig her out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, let us know how this turns out, as this coming month HULU is only gong to cast on that device. I spend more time on HULU than Netflix these days, because after the take over of Netflix most of it is foreign films. If I wanted to read the TV, I would read a book instead.

You can watch Hulu on Roku for a long time, why would you cast instead? It will just ruin the resolution can add problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am attempting to solve a problem. I like HULU better as an old investigator, if has the best stuff to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, a Roku should work find on its own. They play just about every channel and have a good interface. If you get one I would not put credit card info in, you have to setup an account but you can skip the CC step. If I want to buy any shows I will do it through Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We contacted Hulu and they suggested Roku. So, we'll see. When you said you had problems with yours it made me concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
