Software updates arrive automatically and cannot be turned off
Updates to the software on your device, or to a content provider's channel app, happen automatically over the internet, often in the background, and Roku says they are necessary to keep the product working and compatible with content providers and cannot be disabled by you. Updates cover bug fixes, interface and access improvements, security, and other changes that may add, change or remove features. Because they are automatic and mandatory, Roku decides when the software on a device changes.
