That last one doesn't work
Urgent: Hello, I wanted to warn you that you displayed your network settings in the video. I'm no hacker, but I world think a hacker could use that info if they wanted..??
The video is for online ROKU Network settings, I have a ROKU TV and the settings are different.
@@menotyou1234 they are only my settings on my internal network, no worries
Forced arbitration has to be made illegal ! WHERE is the I DO NOT agree button !
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.
Ruth I did how he showed to turn off the are you still watching prompt but still get them.
i tried all 3 demos and the ad is still there, you do have a nice informative channel here and i subscribed
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! 🎉
I am so glad I came across you channel here on YT. Now I can go thought my apps and menus with out having to mute my sound, Thanks alot.
Yes...me too!!
I did step by step. There's still an ad on the right hand side. Thank you for this channel.
Same here
Same here, even after reboot
Same here ROKU Hisense TV, no workee
Same Here as well
I have Samsung 2011 tv.. I don’t have ads now🎉
Fantastic. I had no idea how to do this but my privacy and security are important so thanks for the help!
Hmm the last secret setting thing didn’t seem to work for me, ads are still on that screen.
Same here
It worked with one tv but not the other
I wish there was a way to get rid of those annoying political ads during political season.
Me too, what I really wish is that they couldn’t start campaigning til 6 months before the election, like in Australia - THAT would be GREAT, instead of 2 years of that mess
Yes!! And the drug ads also!
ummm. turn off the ads box... or weren't you paying attention.😂
When you first initialize it do not enter a location or home City then you will never ever ever ever ever get political ads dumbass
@@joelp3562 doesn't work
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.
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Cheers
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.
Also Very good for falling to sleep on radio apps like Tune In Radio.
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.

Shoutout to all the real connoisseurs still rocking the plasma panels in 2023! :D
@@Grasshopper-MediaPlasma….🤔Must have low watch time on it. Enjoy it while It’s still working especially if you were the person that probably shelled out 3 to 5 grand they costed when they were brand new. Remember don’t store them laying down.👍
Hey Doc. The ad banner on my homepage is still there, even though I double checked the settings and restarted the Roku twice. I even powered the Roku stick, and TV, off and powered them back on, and the ad banner is still there. I’m using a recent Roku 4K streaming stick connected to an LG OLED 65 inch TV.
Is there a certain amount of time that has to go by for this change to take effect? Please advise.
I have the same setup and my ad banner is still there, too.
New to the channel!! Ty for all your great knowledge! We appreciate all your help!
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.
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!
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.
Thank you I really enjoyed that
And it was so easy to follow along and I appreciate that
Thank you so much for the info! 😊 I had to go back into "secret menu" and change the ad banner settings to Demo1 in order to remove the ad, so my roku may be a bit different. But again, thank you.
And btw... I'm digging your channel name. 😄👍
I will definitely give you a thumbs up on this one thank you for this I've used Roku for years and didn't think about any of this. Any idea how to clear the cache on the Disney Plus app so it will stop starting the next episode at the end where it left off?
Im just SOOOO happy about the "bandwidth saver" I like the TV on low while I sleep and it shuts off and i have spent hours trying to figure out why?!
Thank you!!!!
I'm leaning towards the streaming soundbar I'm trying to cut the cord with cable it's too expensive . What are your thoughts on that one ?
Thank you! for the wonderful tips brother
Fantastic video...this info is so important! I am hoping to use an Ethernet connection with my older 1080i plasma TV. I have 2 HDMI ports. Do you know if the ultra will work? As I understand it only the ultra has Ethernet hookup
Thanks so much! All made sense it’s unusual for my poor little pea brain and what I usually can understand. Thanks! Now how can I get a list of the live tv guide channel list. One that’s easy to understand so I can make a favorites list for my user unfriendly hubby? I need it too until I get used to it! Again thanks to you!
Outstanding video!!!! Keep up the great work, Sir Doc Squiffy❤🎉💯
Great Help ! Thank You !
I got lost from fast explanations! I suppose I will register and try again! Thank you for your information!
I couldn't get the last step to work. I not only have the ad on the right, but also one on left. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Thanks for the Roku tips! I’ve wanted to get rid of the ad on the right side of Home! 👍👍 I have Firestick & Roku & use both.
I’m in Houston in US but use my VPN for UK & Australia.
Thanks for all you do!!
Cheers!
Care to say more? I live on the border with Canada so get Canadian TV OTA but would love to get all of their programs (other stations). Is there a setting via Roku to do that? Sounds like you do for UK and Australia. Thanks for any guidance.
I tried your method to get rid of the ads on the home screen, and the ads are still there.
Same for me.
Same for me
Thanks for that Doc! Another great video.
Impressive improvement in response time changing channels
Excellent video ty Cheers! Already subscribed and liked Thanks for your effort.
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 couldn't get the last one. Home button 5 X. Etc etc. It didn't bring me to any secret menu. But I'm using a roku TV so it might be different.
I have the 4K Roku box, maybe 3 yrs old, they stopped offering updates for my device, accidentally found that in an old email or I wouldn’t have known! But it’s not letting me uncheck the voice recognition??
Thank you! Subscribed.
Thank you so much for the tips!
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! 😩
Nice video, thank you! I would like to connect my Roku sound bar to my wired network, can I do this with the USB ports and an adapter?
Also followed, step-by-step, screen add, it’s still there. You advised to reboot if it is, not sure how to reboot. Unless that simply means, repeat steps. Appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Very helpful video. Thank You! I have a Samsung QLED 4K smart TV and a 4K Roku Streambar. But the streambar picture quality is no where close to the 4K quality of the TV itself. I am hoping I have the Display Type set wrong. Wish Me Luck!!
The very last one you did with removing the ad on the home page, worked but didn't work. It removed the ad but left a blank box. I thought it would remove that space all together.
Oh I see you had the blank space also....
HI Doc - Thanks for the video. I use older ROKU device (4210X). My WiFi connection/strength servicing it is strong. I find myself frequently restarting the device to mitigate various problems. 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.
Good walkthrough and steady approach to settings
Are there any cameras built into the Roku hardware?
awesome... thank you! subscribed!
You rock🙌🏻 THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video. It was VERY HELPFUL.
Loved the video help, it worked excellent ! Now for the question, when I power up the TV samsung 9000 the red light will flicker and need to press home before the TV turns off, on, off, on repeatedly, is there a place to correct this when power up and then have it go automatically to home? thank you!
How do you get headphones to work with ROKU? I have a TCL set and they don't work. Tried the settings with volume and headphone but still nothing.
Thank you. Very informative video 💯👍
Thank you so much! Hopefully my Roku will stop buffering!
I think it's funny that he thinks they'll stop recording if you don't want personal ads. We all know they'll just keep recording, just not send personal ads.
I appreciate that video you posted about the settings highly appreciated💯💪
Didn’t work to remove the big ad on the Home Screen and actually an additional add has shown up on the bottom left of my screen 🙈
I have been considering getting ROKU, but with just me and my older brother. We have stuck with DirecTV. I love my DVR...Thanks for the video.. I will save it.. hugs
thanks!!! subscribed!
I am brand new to Roku and this video helped me.
Thanks for doing this video!
I have a 32" onn. Roku bought this year. I also have a "honey well" air purifier. When I run the air purifier on low, regardless if the t.v is on or even plugged in the t.v plays music at such a low level, I thought I was going nuts for weeks. Until figured out where the constant mix of neverending music was coming from. Help me!
Awesome - that 3 hour continue watching pop up has been a pain in the you know what. Thanks for that tip.
Thank you so very much for providing me with this helpful information!
Thanks for the help! That banner thing gets on my nerves! When there is new movie or show and they put it in the box, it's like your remote moves faster and always lands on it.
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.
Hopefully starlink will offer unlimited to Islanders
I did what you said for the secret menu but it didn't work on getting rid of that ad on the right side of the screen.
Hey. Thanks so much for this information. Keep it coming.
Thank you for teaching me to be more aware of these 'traps'!
I did ALL the steps on mine and my daughter's!
I think I got part of that. Nearly 80 and all this new technology. My sister and I used to argue about who would have to get up to turn the dial to turn on and off the television. We also always had a dime in our loafers in case we had to make a phone call from a phone booth.
Still good advice about the dime. :)
Thank you so much for this I have done this all!
I’ll watch this again & again . I’m learning w/my Roku Express & wondering if it’s worth it to have ? Just need more understanding .
I tried to get rid of the advertising on all three of my Roku units and no success. I did everything you said. They are still there even resetting.
Thank you so much for the info!!
I have 1 issue the ad on the home screen will not turn off/disappear.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing!!
I still get the ad banner after following the secret screen instructions even after rebooting.
I appreciate this information, thank you. I did have to stop is several times, guess I'm slower than you speak.
Great video! Unfortunately for me, the Demo3 setting didn't remove the ad on the home screen.
Same here. Restarted the system after doing the setting to Demo3 and even after the reboot, the ad is still there....
Same here
Same.
There is no way for it's removal, he is full of b.s.
@@Afterburner2ya I guess kinda sucks
The main setting I was hoping to be able to fix was whatever one keeps making my roku disconnect from whatever ap I am streaming in ( netflix,hbo, prime, etc) it's incredibly agitating for it to disconnect if I am sitting and watching a show, pit it on pause to run to the kitchen or answer the phone, and have it disconnect from the ap and go back to my home screen. Any help?
Yes, that is the setting at 7:15 (in the video) concerning the power menu. Uncheck the box which powers down after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Hi Doc, I came across your video going to go and turn off the things you mentioned (as soon as I can figure out why my Roku device isn’t coming on). I was wondering if you would possibly know why the Live videos on my Samsung smart tv stopped working? It works on every other device (including another smart tv). I can’t figure it out. Thanks in advance.
I'm still getting that ad on the home page after following instructions and rebooting.
Great video all in all, thanks. I did the secret menu thing to get rid of the home screen ad but it just does not work.
yep, same for me. Roku must have made changes in their system.
I just did the sequence to get rid of the advert above your head and restarted my Roku but it’s still showing, what did I do wrong?
Same. I have my settings exactly as shown, resarted the system and it's still there.
@@nickimontie frustrating isn’t it?!
@@mystikskye Yes. I wonder if it matters which Roku device it is?
@@nickimontie ,
It probably does matter which. I have a tv with roku already on there, and also have the plug in roku, and they have slightly different menus.
You still get adds, but they won't be personalized. If you want personalized adds, they will "spy" on things you watch/like/ect and then you will see more of those adds. Kinda like when Google will tailor adds to things you search.
I just bought my husband a Roku, I’m not interested in it . But, I better learn everything I can about it. I had a bad feeling about this. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you !
I don't have the power option in the settings you went thru.. I had everything else and did all you suggested. Where might I find that power setting ??? Thanks.. liked and subscribed.. your awesome !!!
I didn't have the Power option either... 🤷♀️
1st time here, appreciate the info! Subscribed, commented and liked
Do you have a Roku channel
Is there any videos on how to add the addons such as a movie channel i got kodi on android tv thanks
Just like to say thank you for your knowledge and sharing it to help others and me hope all, have a good day ✌️
The "secret menu" can only be accessed using a true Roku remote. I also have a 3rd party Roku remote that it didn't work with so I had to dig out an actual Roku remote to access the menu.
I used the remote on the app and it worked, fyi
@@skoofer Yes, I got it to work with my Roku brand remote fine. But first I tried it with a non-Roku brand remote that I had bought when I lost my Roku remote (I later found it). With the off-brand one, I couldn't get to the "secret menu."
When I hit home, focus changes to first block, home again, it opens it, etc... so do I cursor back to home after each home press?... didnt load it.
Hide ad on homescreen not working. Still shows ad despite following this tutorial and restarting Tv. Great tips though. Newly subscribed. ❤
Does turning the mic off really turn it off ? We all know phones can listen to you even when you uncheck it. .
The mic on my Roku remote requires the button to pressed, so likely not listening until then. For that reason, I have no issue with using voice search, which I think is great!
Is there any setting to disable the ad when you pause a video. I like to stop it and look at the cast in a movie or look at a detail I'd like to see. The ad usually is in the way.
Thanks for the video. I have just bought a toku tv but i do not have the option to select Display Type. Why is that? Tv is Philips 65” UHD.
Model number is 65PUL6553/F7.
Thanks
Very helpful thank you. Have a good evening
I just bought a second Roku. They are on tv's in separate rooms about 25 or 30 ft away from each other. I find I'll have to pull the batteries from the Roku remote I'm not using power down the Roku I'm not using and reboot the roku I want to use. Then i'm able to select the roku channels I want to watch on the TV I want to watch. maybe I'm over complicating my solution. Does anyone have any advice on this issue?
Hi - great video! I have a QUESTION: I don’t seem to have the “Power” setting in the lineup you have been “Software Update” and “Guest Mode”. My system is all up to date. Thanks for your help.
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.
Anyway, that's how mine is...
easy follow walk thru ….thanks
THANK YOU! Wow the ads have been driving us nutty
I didn't watch the entire video so I apologize if you addressed the question I'm posing here. I'd just like to know if this ROKU device needs to necessarily be connected to a TV. I ask bc I don't watch TV much really. However I do watch a little RUclips on my PC and was wondering if that would suffice. I'd really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
