Question

Pause, rewind, and FF local live tv with roku?

by Jun 22, 2018 6:15AM PDT

If you only have the Roku Box or Stick and not the Roku TV, is it possible to rewind, pause, or fast forward local live channels? Or will I have get a PS Vue, or Directv Now or something like that or some sort of device?

That's a feature of a DVR

Such is usually part of a cable TV package. A few TVs have limited DVR like features as well. As far as the Roku goes, the versions I see today made no mention of live TV and what you asked.

I have to answer yes, it is possible but Roku doesn't appear to have implemented it.
