This new screen will show TV, movies and more that are based on what you’ve already watched. A lot like Google TV. Of course, these recommendations will only really work if you watch a lot of content on Roku vs other TV systems in your home. The What To Watch screen can also show content from live TV apps like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and Sling TV. We’ll likely see more coming to the Roku homescreen in the near future. As this feature rolls out and more providers want to be included.
Roku OS 11 also adds a new photo screensaver
Another feature that is similar to Android TV, Google TV and Chromecast that Roku is adding this time around, is a new photo screensaver. So now you can use your own photos as a screensaver when you aren’t using your TV. Additionally, Roku is also adding a new voice-enabled keyboard that works on passwords too. There’s a new “Automatic Speech Clarity” mode, and new Standard, Dialogue, Movie, Music and Night sound modes for Roku Streambar and its other sound products. So when will this update start rolling out? Roku says that the update will roll out to its devices in the “coming weeks”. So that could be next week, or next month. It doesn’t seem to be a really large update, but Roku also has a pretty robust platform already that works really well. So there’s not a lot of changes that need to be made here.
