I was just reading some of the comments on this video and noticed quite a few complaints about the roku remote. May I suggest doing a video on installing and using Roku’s phone apps. Looks like quite a few people don’t know about them. Quite frankly, I prefer them over the physical remote.

[@tonitomei6323]

Been a Roku user since first marketed, have not had problems

I sure miss the days of one remote, off/on, change channels sign off chief Indian.

[@jimp.7286]

Remember when you didn't have to answer which family member profile was using the system or app? Or app within an app? For a time recently,..I was answering three of them just to watch the 5 o'clock news. Three or four minutes to get to the station and by then the lead story is over. All you can do is arrive early. I feel like the world's biggest dope! All of the profiles are for your convenience of course. 🙄

​@jimp.7286 I hear ya but the news is bs and lies anyways.

[@hmmmIMHO]

Why would turning off “personalize ads” automatically mean they still don’t collect the same data? Is not “do not collect personal data”. It just means they won’t use it to select which ads you get. It doesn’t mean data isn’t collected any differently. But ty for a heads up in the opt out of sections.

[@hmmmIMHO]

Also - you can't personalize (block certain ads like politics, sexual content,...) with personalize switched off. If you go back in and turn personalize off then filter ad types it won't let you.

[@ScottGrammer]

I disconnected my Roku TV from the Internet months ago, after they pulled the "accept the terms or buy a new TV" bit. It works fine as a computer monitor, and I stream off the computer.

[@leighklingler2195]

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

Roku's insidious "non-opt out" policy is basically holding consumers who bought their products to ransom, and I will have nothing to do with companies who do that. So I basically told Roku to sod off. I will be replacing my television in my Belize house because of this.

[@kayalford6746]

The only problem I have had with Roku is how the remote works. But I only have problems with the TVL tvs that are already set up For Roku. The tvs where I used the plug in thing the remotes work fine. I’m going to have to read the transcript for this video. Being from Alabama I couldn’t keep up with your fast to me talking. I think you have some great information. I’m not a tech person so I need slow demonstrations.

[@BrotherBlue93]

He is a bit of a fast talker but it's actually really easy to follow if you have your Roku remote in one hand while watching your TV and your cell phone in the other. That way you can pause the Doc Squiffy stuff from your phone as often as you need to and catch up with your remote & TV. It makes for a far less stressful session that way, when you can move along at whatever speed you want. 😉🤪😵‍💫😎👌👍

[@riley6740]

I will use the little gear box in the upper right corner of the screen and go to the playback speed and select either.75 or .50. It will slow down the voice to a speed you are comfortable with.

I wouldn't even use IP vanish though or Nord VPN what I would recommend is express VPN because they have their own router no other VPN does which means express VPN is actually special and that's what I love about them 💙

[@marybeth17]

Thank you for making this video. Now I have a question to ask. I just set the Roku Express up yesterday & now it won’t let me go back to using my regular TV remote. Which will access my DVR. Do you know how I can do this? I even tried unplugging it & I still can’t access my on TV remote. It’s ridiculous.

[@Ccubs23]

You can't use Roku Express with your tv remote. It stays on like a computer. You have to switch the HDMI to go back to your tv or cable/dish service. You can't use a DVD player with it either unless you have a TV with built in Roku.

[@waktosha7378]

I took care of this problem by throwing away my Roku tv and eoku stick! My Roku tv decided to brick itself until I hit the agree button! So I did the only reasonable thing by smahing the screen and discarding it right into the trash! Therefore this problem for me is done!

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

[@lordfdisk7005]

Removing the application. is the right step. However you will need to block KZbin from your router. You might even have a area to block just your T.V.s IP address so only your t.v. is unable to get KZbin. Hope this helps.

​@@animatsuri Right. Those new terms they tried to slip in on everyone that had no way to opt out was a direct response to them being hacked and exposing user data.
