+<lead>Your Roku needs to have a reliable internet connection, either via wired ethernet or a strong wireless connection (preferably using WiFi 5 or later, using the 5GHz band). The app does not work outside of your home network, and the Roku needs to be connected to the same local network as HDHomeRun tuner.</lead>

+==== No audio ====
+<WRAP indent>
 To hear audio, you need a TV, AV receiver, or soundbar that can decode Dolby Digital or AC3 audio over HDMI. Most modern TVs can do this, though we’ve noticed a few Samsung TVs cannot. All Roku televisions should be able to play audio without any trouble.

 <wrap tip>If you are still having issues: While watching live TV in the HDHomeRun app, press the ** * ** button and see if your **"Volume mode"** is set to **"off"** (this might not always be required, depending on the Roku model)</wrap>

+==== ATSC 3.0 ====
+<WRAP indent>
+  * To receive most ATSC 3.0 broadcasts you will need a Roku device that supports the AC-4 audio codec, such as a recent Roku TV set, or the 2020 Roku Ultra or later (but not the "LT" version). If you do not have a Roku TV set or Roku Ultra that supports AC-4, we would recommend using an inexpensive "Google TV" device with your TV set, instead of buying a new Roku Ultra, as Google TV devices tend to be less expensive and have less issues with live TV. Please open a support ticket for the latest information and advice regarding AC-4 support: **[[:Support ticket]]**
