It's pretty easy to block the ads if you are network savvy. Just use a packet sniffer and grab all ip address and just start blocking those at your router. It's usually obvious what most of the ads are based on the domain names. It takes a while and I had a few mistakes, but after awhile it works re...

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs even if it includes choosing death over a blood transfusion. Yes and I'm sure there were many very nice folks in 1940 Germany also. Anyway we don't need any more "well I have friend ...." stories. When my 6 year old son is concerned about being punishe...

They weren't exactly giving them away, but they were supposedly giving 20% discounts: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/424730001/get-your-roku-on?page=1&size=10 Ah OK now that makes sense. Funny how the poster at the website states don't post the discount code on internet .. but his text i...

As I said, it's got lots of ratings (44944 and climbing rapidly) and 4.5 stars. Looks like it qualifies. All the channels on that list have 10k or higher ratings and 3.5 or higher stars. I guess there's more JWs using Roku than we thought. I really find that hard to believe unless they are giving o...

Be careful, as you, myself and others might not agree with religions, not our right to interfere with their beliefs. Could be it had a high install rate. Regardless, if you disagree with the religion, then don't install the channel promoting the religion. No different than someone coming on here an...

I find it very hard to believe the Jehovah Witness channel belongs in the Top Free channels alongside PBS, Smithsonian, YouTube, Pandora, Crackle and others! The Jehovah Witnesses are a dangerous cult that encourages their sheep to die instead of accept life saving blood transfusions. These folks ar...

Make sure you switch your TV to the DVD input as the Roku is on an HDMI input.

I can't even tell that the TV show is 4K as a first step. Any advice?

If you can't tell by looking at the quality of TV then what good is even having 4K?

Any modern cell phone will work though with varying degrees of picture quality.

You need an HDMI switch if want yet another remote to switch between devices. Not sure why you just can't use your TV remote to switch HDMI ports?

Also note the new 7.1 Roku OS adds CEC support so your Roku remote can be used to switch to the HDMI port with the Roku.

The age of non-vendor-specific apps is upon us; TVs are starting to ship with Google Cast. I'll believe it when I actually see it on the majority of TVs. Long ago Google Tv was going to be implemented on all TVs. It never happened. The perceived need for the TV manufacturers to differentiate themse...

It depends on the TV model/manufacturer. What you displayed is one of many possible PSDs.

That is actually your TV's purple screen of death. The problem is an HDMI handshake error which just means your TV and Roku are having a problem communicating video over the HDMI connection. Reboot your Roku AND TV. Also while both are powered down reseat the HDMI cable. If you still have problem ge...

1. Is there a way I can disable this functionality on my Roku 3? I will likely never use it and hitting the button causes the Roku to jump to the search screen. I would prefer the button did nothing. Are you near the metro NY area? I would gladly swap remotes with you as I would like to add this fe...

This with a brand new modem, and a brand new gigabit router. The YouTube channel works and has worked fine on my Roku 3 with wireless. If you don't have a Roku 3 then get it. ALL other Rokus are complete crap for using the official YouTube. It's very clear the official YouTube channel is tested and...
