[@ruthsnyder3462]

My menus were different than yours, so it was hard to follow some of your directions. Once before, I had tried turning off the thing that shuts you down for not saying "yes I'm still watching". That only worked on the roku channel. But your directions actually worked! Thank you, thank you! Once I realized your hints worked I came back to give you the thumbs up you deserve.

[@FolkloreLover]

Thank you for helping everyone protect their privacy. The ad banner removal at the end seems to be a problem for a number of people including me. I don’t know if it’s possible to help or if ROKU got wise and made it harder to remove. If you are collecting info on an attempt to find another way of helping people remove it here is what I tried. I am using an old Emerson tv with a ROKU Ultra LT. After getting to the secret menu I changed the Cycyle Home Screen banner ad server to Demo 3 and restarted the Roku by going to system->power-> system restart. It rebooted and the ad was still there. I repeated the same steps alternating from Production, QA-QA3, Staging-Staging4, Demo1-Demo3. Thank you for your advice.

[@wolfwhohuntssmiling5274]

Everything went great, except the ad on the right side is still there. Also, an ad in the bottom left-hand corner for peacock 99 cents for two months. I checked and rebooted twice. It shows scrollable ads as always disabled, but the blasted things won't go away. Thanks for the tips! 🎉

[@MissPernickety]

On the subtitles menu, a tip for you is to have it turned on for replay. If you haven't heard or understood what someone says, rather than have to keep rewatching the same bit of film over and over to get what is being said, subtitles on on replay will show you what they are saying.

[@rrbb36]

I use that one too….stumbled upon that setting quite by accident. But I still can’t remove the large square on the Right where Roku promotes movies. Home button 5 times, then the directional arrows was a “no go”. Even when I slowed down the video & wrote down each command (settings, network, remotes & devices, settings, secret screen 2)… just didn’t work for me. But more importantly, I’m much happier with my updated privacy settings!

[@EverydayJohn931]

Screensaver is actually a good thing as some TVs can get burn in from sitting on a single screen too long. Turning it off is a bad idea. It doesn't take that much for system resources to use.

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

Also Very good for falling to sleep on radio apps like Tune In Radio.

[@wildbill4496]

It depends on type of TV you have. Not all types of TVs are at risk of burn in. That said a lot of people these days have OLEDs and those you absolutely have to worry about burn in.

Got rid of the ad! Thank you! Hooked up my antenna for locals, scanned them in but can’t figure out how to get to them! 😩

[@merlingstoss6332]

Nice, cheers. Personally I turn Auto-adjust display refresh rate on, on mine. I find it provides much smoother playback with less stuttering, at least on my ancient TV in the lounge. The downside is the glitches you mentioned, it often takes a moment while the TV adjusts to the new input and outputs a black screen for up to a couple of seconds, which can be quite irritating when watching content with ads, as it will happen each time a new one loads. I find the improved playback quality worth it the minor irritation, in my use case.

[@kthwkr]

Roku used to have a setting that was somewhat hidden that would force the Roku to use a lower bit rate. Frankly 1Mbps gives a picture that is quite suitable for me. Unfortunately Roku discarded that feature. My internet has a monthly download limit and once that is hit the speed is reduced to something similar to dial up modem. I have to use satellite internet because there is no wired internet available to my house. I live on an island which is paradise. But the monthly limit can be used up in one evening of watching Roku which is always running at the fastest rate it can get.

[@mokokawi]

Hopefully starlink will offer unlimited to Islanders

[@jeremyhenderson163]

Great video, though I wasn't able to remove the ads on my home screen (Hisense Roku tv). Not sure why, but "Demo3" didn't remove the ads for me. After cycling through each option (demo1-3, stagging1-3,qa1-3, etc.) and restarting afterwards, the ads still remained. Maybe the option to change it is in another secret option page (As the secret options you mentioned were "secrete option page 2", on mine.), but I was unable to change "Ad banner channel: production" on this option page.

i just purchased 2 roku cameras to monitor my elderly mom at her house. I live in a different town and i put her cameras at her house and a few that i bought for my house on the roku smart home app on my iPhone. In one screen i can see moms and my cameras all at once. My mom has a lady that takes care of my her during the day. She knows the wifi and password at my moms house. My question is......if she downloads the Roku smart home app on her phone, can she put my moms cameras on her phone when she's at her own house and start logging in to see on her phone with the app, who's at my moms house and eavesdropping and such when not at moms house?

There are slightly different displays for different rokus, like roku tv vs the roku device, so you might have to look around.

I did not have the Power option either. I have the Roku Ultra something... Every now and then I would get the pop up question of "Are you still watching" or something like that and it gave me the option of clicking on "Yes" or "Don't ask again"...after a few times, I figured out to just click on Don't ask again and it has been a long time since I've seen it so I do not remember the exact wording.

Unchecking personalized ads doesn't keep them from collecting data from you. It just means they won't use that data to show you ask that you're more likely to be interested. I pretty much don't see the ads, but if I am going to see them, I would rather see ads that I might be interested in.

SCREEN READER is actually for the blind and visually impaired. It is a mechanical voice that tells you what is happening on the screen.

E.g., Sling channel grid content partially disappears or channel rows become confused; Freevee programs do not fully load -- and other such problems - all of which are "fixed" by my restarting the ROKU device. I find myself restarting many times a day, which is a PITA. Is this an example of ROKU planned obsolesce? Could my problem be cache or memory related? If it's time to buy new ROKU devices, can you suggest which of today's model(s) offer memory bang-for-buck and superior cache management? Thanks for your reply.

I have a Roku Smart TV, and I had a button you did not show under settings. Smart TV Experience. If "Use info from TV inputs" is enabled, it will also personalize ads, by seeing what you are accessing by any devices connected to your TV. I took that to mean from my gaming console, so I turned that off.
