I dont see ads on my Roku TV since I have it disconnected from the internet immediately after setting up my new TV and fresh Roku Account, I know there are people who want to use streaming services and such but for me cant beat the good ol Antenna setup and DVDs..... I did turn off the ads settings just in case on Day 1 but gotta have that as much disconnect from the advertisement and data collection as possible

Thanks

In item 4 (Turn off ACR) you skipped over, and left the check mark, on the Disclosures item. This needs to be off. When it is on they will 'disclose' a lot more info about you to data gatherers. If you read the privacy policy, there is still a whole list of things that they can still disclose, so it may be pointless...

Thank you for making this video! It was extremely helpful.

On the 1-touch play setting, there's a problem with (at least some) Samsung TVs: It's a great feature if you use connected peripherals like a Blu-ray/DVD player, as it will automatically return the TV's input to Roku with a touch of any button on the Roku remote. BUT after using it like that for years I ran into an issue a few months ago with both of my two Samsung TVs (a 65" QLED and an 83" OLED). I allowed a Samsung firmware update to install, and after that update, every time I press the Power button on the Roku remote to turn everything off, the TV and connected AV receiver both power off like usual, but about 5 seconds later the TV turns back on by itself! EVERY TIME! This happens with both of my Samsung TVs after the recent firmware update. SUPER frustrating to have the TV turn back on every time you power off! With a little online research, Google/Gemini informed me it's a known bug with Samsung and the newest firmware. The "solution" offered is to uncheck that 1-touch option in the Roku menu. I've done that and it did fix the power cycling issue, but now I have to find the Samsung remote to return the TV to the Roku input after using the Blu ray player. I'm hopeful that Samsung will fix this "bug" in their firmware, as it was a really nice feature. Another tip with Samsung TV settings, there's an option for "Startup" that lets you choose "startup with Last Used App"... This makes the TV power on to the Roku (assuming you were using Roku when power off last). Combined with 1-touch play, I never needed to grab the TV remote. Was working perfectly for years until the last Samsung update.

The hidden volume leveling setting is life changing!!! I fixed both bedroom’s TVs! Thank you thank you thank you !!!

Thanks you definitely helped me get rid of several issues on my roku.

Great Hints!  Especially the Audio leveling & the control other devices / 1-touch play Thanks!👍👍👍👍👍😊

My Roku remote for the stick already has those set up automatically

What about connecting an external sound bar? I have to use a separate remote for my Bose sound bar

Thank you. I have a question about the Smart TV experience, content viewing disclosure. I didn't hear you say to on check that one but as I was reading it. it doesn't look like something you would want to keep on there. I would love your insight on it thank you so much.

My sound mode is locked on “standard” or “not available”

Mine wont stay on a setting long enough for me to decide what want to do

They added an extra step to turn subtitles on/off. Used to be if you pressed options there was an option right at the top to turn them on/off. Now you have to first go to "accessibility and language" and scroll to it. Why make things a little more difficult???? Stop fiddling with it and making it worse, Roku!!

thank you

The "leveling" for sound I found does not work on any of my ROKU boxes.. Sounds goes up and down constantly.. Thanks for the video !!

Why does Roku randomly add stations about once a month?

I tried Sound Leveling and the sound was being chopped off or interrupted during the movie.

I have a new Roku TV and it doesn't have the "leveling" feature under customize sound mode. Just on or off. Why is that?

Closed Captions is in the same spot as Volume leveling. I use both. I can hear, but I watch a lot of tv with the sound off and listening to something else. I use "Night" so I can wear headphones at night and listen to Spotify at a very low level.
