7 hidden Roku tricks every user should know
Your Roku does way more than just stream Netflix and Hulu. Beneath its familiar interface lies clever features and shortcuts that can improve your streaming experience in surprising ways. Most people never discover these lesser-known tricks, missing out on convenient tools that save time and frustration every day. Some features help you navigate more efficiently, while others solve common problems you didn't even realize had solutions. There are also hidden settings that protect your privacy and secret screens that aren't mentioned anywhere in the official documentation. Whether you're a longtime Roku user or just got started, these hidden features will improve your experience with one of the best streaming devices. Instead of managing separate watchlists across Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and every other streaming service, Roku lets you create one master list that works across all services. Use the Roku OS to search for shows and movies you want to watch, then select Add to Save List on each title's details page. This saves everything to a universal watchlist that you can access by going to the Roku home screen and selecting What to Watch. Your universal list shows everything in one place, making it much easier to decide what to watch next. The physical Roku remote is functional, but your phone can do so much more. Download the Roku Official Remote Control app for iOS or Android and you'll get a full keyboard for easy searching, the ability to stream content directly from your phone, as well as voice search. The app also lets you browse and launch channels without looking at your TV screen. You can type search terms quickly and if you lose the physical remote, your phone becomes an instant backup. The app even shows what's currently playing and gives you playback controls. If your remote has vanished into the couch cushions again, you don't need to tear apart your living room. If you have a remote with a speaker grille, open the Roku app, tap the microphone, and say "Hey, Roku, find my remote." The remote will start beeping so you can track it down. For Roku Ultra devices, just long-press the button on the right side of the device and the remote will beep. If you have a Voice Remote Pro, you can say "Hey, Roku, find my remote" directly to the TV and it will start beeping. Once you find it, press any button to stop the noise. You can even customize the beeping sound in Settings if the default tone isn't loud enough. When friends or family visit, they can use your Roku without messing up your recommendations, watchlists, or personal settings. Go to to set up a PIN, then press the Home button on your Roku remote and navigate to Settings, System, Guest Mode, and Enter Guest Mode. Then enter your PIN and select OK to activate it. Now guests can sign into their own streaming accounts and use the device normally, but their viewing history won't affect your algorithms and they can't see your personal content. Late-night binge-watching doesn't have to wake up your household. If you have a first-generation Voice Remote Pro, you can plug headphones directly into the remote's headphone jack and audio will automatically redirect from the TV to your headphones. For newer remotes without headphone jacks, use the Roku mobile app's Headphone Mode to listen through your phone's headphones or earbuds. The TV audio gets muted while you get full sound through your personal audio device. This works great for apartments, shared living spaces, or when your partner goes to bed early but you want to keep watching. Roku has hidden diagnostic screens can help you troubleshoot problems. These secret screens let you run network speed tests, view detailed system information, check channel installation logs, and perform various resets when your device isn't working properly. You can access these by pressing specific button combinations on your remote or entering special codes. To run a network speed test, press Home 5 times, then Up, Down, Up, Down, Up and you'll get access to speed testing, reset, and logging options. For a soft reset when your Roku is acting up, press Home 5 times, Up once, Rewind twice, and Fast Forward twice and your device will restart without erasing settings. The speed test screen is particularly useful for diagnosing streaming quality issues, showing you exactly how fast your internet connection is performing on the Roku device itself. Tired of being blasted awake by loud commercials or having to constantly adjust volume between quiet dialogue and loud action scenes? To avoid this, press the star button on your remote during playback, then navigate to Sound Settings and Volume Mode. Turn on Leveling to prevent sudden volume spikes from commercials and channel changes. You can also enable Night mode to boost quiet sounds and reduce loud ones, which is perfect for late-night viewing when you don't want to disturb others. For Roku Streambars and Soundbars, you'll find these options under Settings, Audio and Volume Modes instead.

BBC local broadcasting 'legend' dies
Former BBC Radio Sheffield presenter Gerry Kersey, who became a listeners' favourite during his 50 years in broadcasting, has died. The 86-year-old, who worked for both the BBC and independent radio, had been ill for some time and died on Friday morning with his wife, Christine, at his side. Paying tribute, Katrina Bunker, Head of BBC Yorkshire, said: "Gerry was a true legend of local broadcasting, starting his career in 1968 as one of the first voices on BBC Radio Sheffield." Away from the microphone, he had a talent for performing in theatre and for art. His paintings featured in exhibitions and he raised money for charity by making and selling Christmas cards featuring his work. In a 2018 interview in the Sheffield Star marking his 50 years in broadcasting, he recalled that in the 1970s he was doing two jobs, handling advertising for local company Stanley Tools and doing radio work. "It became an alarmingly unbalanced life," he told the newspaper. But broadcasting eventually won his heart. "I decided, with my wife's full approval, that although it was only earning £12 a week I would take it on and see what I could do," he said. It turned out well and Gerry became a listeners' favourite, both for the BBC and on independent station Radio Hallam. Ms Bunker said: "In later years he was known for request-based and nostalgia shows and he got loads of letters, emails and calls right up to his last show in 2020. "Wherever you went around the area you would always meet someone who loved Gerry's show. "Off-mic, Gerry was just as much of a gentleman as he was on it, always encouraging , always warm and proud to still be on the radio after 50 years. "He will be sadly missed by all who knew him."

3 Prime Video action movies you (probably) haven't seen
Want to get your adrenaline fix without watching the same old shootouts and car chases? Prime Video's action movies section runs deep, but digging past the obvious picks can take time. There's a whole world of high-stakes thrillers, gritty brawlers, and stylish genre-benders just waiting to be discovered. And plenty of them are hiding right in plain sight. Some have big names attached, and others are cult favorites you might have missed. But all of them bring the heat. If you're in the mood for something fast, fierce, and just a little off the beaten path, here are three of the best action movies on Prime Video you probably haven't seen yet. Based on Irvine Welsh's novel and starring a gloriously unhinged James McAvoy, "Filth" follows a corrupt, coke-snorting Edinburgh cop named Bruce Robertson who's less interested in solving a murder case than in manipulating his coworkers, terrorizing suspects, and indulging every vile impulse he has. So yes, there's plenty of filth to be had here. But beneath the sleaze and chaos, this action flick is something much darker, sadder, and smarter. As Bruce's mental state deteriorates, the film shifts from grotesque black comedy to a shocking look at self-destruction, guilt, and mental illness wrapped up in the dressings of an action trip. It's wildly unpredictable and sometimes unpalatable, and if you can stomach the ride, it's one hell of a performance from McAvoy. Watch "FIlth" on Prime Video now Dev Patel directs and stars in this brutal, blood-soaked revenge thriller that blends the rage of "John Wick" with the raw desperation of "Oldboy," all set against the neon-lit underbelly of a corrupt Mumbai. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Patel plays an unnamed street fighter scraping by in underground cage matches while nursing some barely contained rage at a stolen childhood and a society that crushed him. But when he finally snaps, his violence comes fast and furious, messy and deeply personal. This decadent action thriller pits one broken man against a system that feeds on the powerless, and fortunately, we're the ones who win since we get a front row seat. Watch "Monkey Man" on Prime Video now Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman play a wealthy couple whose lavish home and strained relationship are both put to the test when a group of armed intruders storms in, demanding money and secrets they're not ready to give up. Yep, it's almost like your typical '90s thriller. What starts as a standard home invasion story quickly spirals into something more volatile, thanks to Cage's fast-talking energy and Kidman's typical magneticism. And if you're thinking about it being unhinged, as is the usual when it comes to Cage, you won't be disappointed. Watch "Trespass" on Prime Video now
