How about asking "What did that guy just say?" and having Apple TV back up 15 seconds, turn on closed captioning temporarily and do an instant replay the scene in question so you can not only listen, but SEE what that guy said! Not on Roku.

Actually, yes you can do this on Roku. You may not like how it works, but it does it.

I think you misunderstood my question. I am talking about asking the Set-top Box that question, not yourself, so that YOU have to take the action to back up the video, turn on the closed caption, etc. . . but that Siri will hear your question and take care of it for you, automatically. No, Roku cannot do that. As you said, I don't believe a $49 gadget will not have that functionality. If it cannot handle answering a question during playing a film, it obviously cannot handle this.
