Make Your Non-Roku TV Voice-Controllable with a Roku Remote

You can use a Roku remote to control a non‑Roku TV via HDMI-CEC. In Settings > Remotes & devices > Remotes, choose the Roku remote and select Set up remote for TV control. The setup will identify your TV and prompt basic controls like volume; you may need to point the remote at the TV. If you have a Roku Voice Remote Pro and it won’t control the TV, ensure HDMI-CEC is enabled on the TV and retrain, and if connected to a receiver, connect the remote directly to the TV for easier identification. Once set up, you can say “Hey Roku” to power the TV on/off and adjust volume, while the Roku interface itself offers voice navigation for apps and content.

Stim Machine bets bigger power at the same price to topple Steam Machine

LDLC’s Stim Machine, a knock‑off of Valve’s Steam Machine, launches at €1,039 with a larger case and stronger parts (Ryzen 5 8400F CPU and RX 9060 XT GPU) that Gamers Nexus says can deliver up to ~70% more performance than the Steam Machine; but it remains a traditional PC rather than a true console, lacking the Steam Machine’s built‑in TV integration via HDMI‑CEC. Valve’s SteamOS 3.8 allows building your own Steam Machine from off‑the‑shelf parts, but carries similar HDMI/CEC limitations, and the Stim Machine’s bigger chassis trades compactness for higher power headroom and potentially better cooling.
