What is a .ROKU file?
The file extension .ROKU is associated with a Roku TV Firmware Update. This means that the file, often named update.roku, is specifically designed to update the software on a Roku TV. Firmware is a special kind of software that helps the TV's hardware work properly and introduces new features or fixes existing issues. The update.roku file contains all the necessary information and instructions for the TV to upgrade its software to the latest version.
This type of update is particularly useful for people who might not have their Roku TV connected to the Internet all the time. Instead of updating the TV software over the internet, you can download the update.roku file from the Roku website on a different device, like a computer.
To use this file, you need to transfer it to a USB flash drive. This is a small, portable storage device that you can plug into your computer to copy the update.roku file onto it. Once the file is on the USB flash drive, you then plug the drive into your Roku TV. The TV will recognize the file and start the update process automatically, using the data in the update.roku file to upgrade its software.
There isn't a specific program needed to open a .ROKU file because the process is handled by the Roku TV itself once the USB flash drive is connected. This method allows for a straightforward way to ensure your Roku TV is running the latest software version, enhancing your viewing experience with new features and improvements.
