  • Roku devices have always been a popular choice when it comes to streaming and one of the main reasons being it has a very simplistic layout. Well all of that could be about to change in the future.

    ROKU😝 "WE" have not been friends since my first purchase. Before I could login to see what it had to offer, it wanted my Credit Card 💳. That was a NO 🤨, and we broke up 2017😂! That was the same day I received it. At that time I purchased the Ultra😬

    The problem nowadays, unlike say the pre 2000 and 1990s, you had no choice but to watch adverts. Nowadays audiences have more choice and with ad's become more intrusive and annoying. Audiences are becoming fed up of them to the point. That any company or device that becomes too intrusive with ad's is going to lose more revenue from customers in the long run. Broadcast TV will be gone in less than 20 years I think for the reason as my dad would say, the next commercial will be interrupted by a programme.

  • @Bdavie69

    I have a Roku tv but run my shields on it. I’ve never used the POS Roku on it. I don’t even know where my tv remote is. I have my streaming remotes programmed to turn the tv on and off. Never understood why anyone would use Roku with their closed platform.

  • @garyburke301

    Used Roku devices for many years on multiple tvs in the house because they are so easy to use. Simple home screen, never buffered, just works. Never had any issues or questions from the wife or kids. After setup no admin required. Switched to firetv cube on main tv so I could side load apps. The firetv cube regularly buffers & constantly needs rebooting. Every update on the amazon device either removes good features or adds ones I dont want. From an administration point of view the amazon is a time waster. If you could side load apps on Roku it would be the perfect streaming device and id ditch amazon devices in a heart beat.

      This is true...the simplistic nature of Roku devices as also mentioned by the content creator was the reason the Roku 3 was placed in my daughter's room....as it was just so simple to use but like you say.... you would just click an app and it would work, it had strong WiFi connection and it just worked..

    I own a Roku tv and they’ve started changing other stuff I don’t like. They’ve started putting 1-2 rows of what’s trending now before I can even get to my regular live tv app. I end up having to navigate a page that used to be simple to operate. I hope they don’t start playing ads! 😟

    You can get rid of it by going to setting and click on home screen and click on hide and you will stop seeing it on the home screen.

    Did briefly look as these as I was considering getting away from the fire sticks now they’re pushing harder with the ads which sucks being as I pay for prime. I’ll not bother with Roku either. I just need a way to watch all the first division games next season since we’ve just been relegated 🤦‍♂️😂

    I stop using my Roku years ago. As far as I am concerned Roku could fold. they don't offer enough for me to give a dam. Roku was out long before the firestick, their downfall was not allowing 3rd parties on their platform.

    This is old news, to be honest. All they do is when they want to promote something, like the weird al yankovic movie on the roku channel, they just put a banner across the bottom of the screen and it doesn't really do anything, you can't click on it or anything.

    On a more serious note I think taking that Roku device back from your daughter may save your bank balance come next Christmas.

Don't have to p**s about with a s**t load of settings either. Hey, but that's just me. Thanks for info anyway.
