Roku is a popular streaming device that is designed to update automatically when it is turned on. For every 24-32 hours, Roku will check for firmware updates automatically. If your Roku device has been disconnected for a long time or if you have installed a non-certificate Roku channel, then you need to manually update the Roku.
