Why is ROKU silent on this issue? Lot's of unhappy customers. Go check the Amazon Skills reviews.

Roku is regularly silent on these kinds of things, and it's annoying. 

So no one has posted the answer to the question?? How do  we stop the unwanted pop up channels that start installing themselves into Roku?? It's very offensive and it's bad enough we have to put up with the channels themselves and their advertising bs but now we have to put up with Roku crap as wel...

So I just bought a new Roku tv, my first one and I was super excited for the nextflix and Hulu channels and dropping chrome cast but when I went in free streaming and recently added I saw some fun stuff but then my wife pointed out that there is porn in there as well. After a night of digging I rea...

The biggest issue for me is my lack of control over broadcasting the Roku and not being able to change the SSID to something more obscure.  I tried to access it via my wifi portal but was unable to change the SSID even though I could see the device on the network.   In  a way, it's like an advertis...

I don't think either of you are drifting off topic when it comes to questions about the devices possibly ease dropping on you.  I have had those concerns ever since I invited my first laptop into my home.  I do believe that it's the choice of individuals about how much personal information is share...

If you can turn something on with a remote control, it was never really "off". Something is running to allow it to respond to the remote. 

Did old Rokus have a power button? I don't remember that. Which one?

There is a difference between spyware monitoring my internet online activity which there are all sorts of things being sold to at least minimize those efforts verses now actually buying and installing spyware into the outlets of your home under false pretenses that will invade your privacy, family ...

Those alerts are mandated by law: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/emergency-alert-system-eas You shouldn't stop them. It isn't advisable to stop them. Yes it is annoying when you are DVR and part of your recording has these but it is part of the zeitgeist. Immortalized into the broadcast like ...

Just an FYI, there is legislation to start bringing these alerts to streaming services.  Don't know what happened to it, just remember one of my state morons helped publish it. Not saying it's a bad idea, just that I'm not a fan of the people that were pushing for it. I'm for it.. storms kill, and ...

But why did OP go to this site instead of Roku's own site?

When the 4 letter code didn't work, I got a note on my IPad (which I was using to try to activate the ROKU) from "roku.activates-online.com". I'm wondering how the popup appeared. It's not like a spam site would hijack your internet connection just in case they see that you're trying to a...

https://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?t=26363&start=2550 Ask and they close the thread. He might have quit and the NDA keeps him from disparage them. It basically mutes him and the only thing he can do to say anything is take down anything he has ever done for Roku. Possibly? Maybe... That othe...

How can I disable the wifi card on the motherboard to get the wifi to be off permanently?  I already removed two antennaes and it still works... it's insecure to have wifi on such an insecure device and I don't want wifi at all. is it insecure, though? Has anyone ever successfully hacked a Roku via...

I had to cancel Netflix Streaming some time ago due to their unique ability to make the UI and the displaying of their content so annoying I could get no enjoyment out of it. I maintain the DVD/BluRay deliveries and to date they've not found a way to infect physical media with their nonsense. If Ne...

I find it amazing how much people like to complain about entertainment - especially about things that take just a couple clicks to get through. You press a button a few times, and you're into the app/channel you want to watch. None of you programming is interrupted. No additional time is wasted - al...
