**Note**: You cannot delete recordings in bulk (for example, an entire series) on your Roku device. However, this can be done directly on your TV Box or by using the Xfinity Stream app. You may also recover recordings that were deleted in the past 24 hours by navigating to through the following menus - Saved > Recordings > Deleted Recordings - and selecting Undelete.

Settings

Access app settings such as Language, Parental Controls, Accessibility, Format and Helpoptions.

Language settings allow you to set the default language for Secondary Language soundtracks (SAP option in Playback Controls when available). Language settings do not change the language for menus or TV listings. SAP may experience intermittent availability in the Xfinity TV Beta app.

Parental Controls are device-specific. Even if you previously set Parental Controls for another device, you have to set them again for the Roku device, as Parental Controls default to the Offmode.

In order to modify Movie Ratings or TV Ratings settings, Parental Controls must be set to On. Locking a rating will automatically lock all higher ratings. For example, locking the R rating will automatically lock the Adult and NC-17 rating.


The Accessibility option provides Audio Guide (voice over) functionality on certain Roku devices. This feature can be accessed by navigating to Settings > Accessibility > Audio Guide, and is available on the following Roku devices:

  • Roku Streaming Stick (Model 3600)
  • Roku Express (Model 3700)
  • Roku Express+ (Model 3710)
  • Roku Premiere (Model 4620)
  • Roku Premiere+ (Model 4630)
  • Roku Ultra (Model 4640)

You can also turn Video Description, which allows you to listen to an audio description of a program's key visual elements, On or Off in the Accessibility menu.

A Format option located in the Settings menu allows you to automatically tune to the High Definition (HD) version of a live TV channel if you select the Standard Definition (SD) version.

The HD Preferred option is selected by default.


The option to Sign Out of the app on your Roku device is also available in the Settings menu. You can sign out by tapping the OK button your Roku remote. You will then be returned to the Getting Started screen.
