Streaming stick View attachment 69419 plus. So if I have already purchased Fandango Now movies they show up in the Roku app?

Yes, you’ll access them through the Roku movie store

 

[Sam Posten]

Will check that as soon as we take a break from Midway.

There should be a list of categories on the left side.
Including FandangoNow Movies and FandangoNow TV

That is one of the models that requires installing the FandangoNow app. You should be able to install by going to Streaming Channels/Search and type fa. It should be at the top of the list.

Roku Premiere comes with FN pre-installed as the native movie store.

The Premiere is a nice cheap unit and works well with universal remotes (it's IR based). The downside is its a single band Wifi.

The Streaming Stick+ is a better unit because it is dual band. The downside is that the remote is RF based and does not work with most universal remotes. It is also an older model than Premiere, and thus does not have FN natively.

Where did you purchase the Roku? Models from Wal-Mart have FN capability removed.

That's weird. I got my Roku from Walmart, and the Fandango Now channel shows up just fine:

Try going to Settings from the left side menu, then Home screen, and see if there's an option to show/hide Movie Store and TV Store

When I was living in Florida last year, I bought a 32 inch Roku TV and was able to Download the apple TV App , Before I moved back to South Carolina in 2020, I Gave the TV to my roommate's kids because I have 3 TVs in storage. The Roku TV I Now have has all of my apps on it but I am unable to locate or re download the apple TV App

Not all Roku devices are compatible with the Apple TV app. I can't find a list of the ones that are but if it's a TV you had in storage I'm betting it's not...

Was not aware of the AppleTV app before.

How's its performance now (both UI responsiveness and PQ/AQ)? Still buggy? All features working fine?

I have a 1st(?) gen Roku Premiere Plus model 4630x (w/ RF remote).

Thanks!

The app works much better than when first introduced. There were bugs where it would not show all the titles in your library, but you could still play the titles if you searched for them. Those bugs seem to be fixed. The app is a little slow to load on the Roku Premiere 4K in our master bedroom (the unit we use the app on the most), but once the app loads everything works fine.

 

[Todd Erwin]

It works fine, but audio is still limited to Dolby Digital 5.1 (no plus or Atmos) and no way to access special features.

 

[ScottJH]

Not sure if all devices support it but the app on a Streaming + stick now supports Dolby Atmos.

 

[Todd Erwin]

After updating the app, I can confirm that Atmos has been enabled on both my Roku Streaming Stick+ and Premiere devices. Still waiting for access to special features, though, and both of my Fire Stick 4K devices are still limited to 5.1 audio.
