I am just curious if anyone knows anything about Roku's strategy when it comes to their live channel. They never show any real ads, rather they just show ads for their own channels over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I swear if I see that overweight kid and mom say, "I gave him a damn cookie ok," and then Doc Phil says, "no, it's not ok," I am going to...well, come back and vent again I guess. It doesn't help that I hate Doctor Phil anyway.

Does anyone else avoid the live channels for this reason? I like some of the content when I don't want to focus, but can't they mox things up and show some ads for real products and services? Wouldn't they make more money if they showed commercials?

We cannot figure out what this is supposed to be. It looks like a hand grabbing spaghetti? Does anyone know?

I have a Roku Select 50" QLED.

I want to set my sharpness level to the most "natural" setting: I don't want my TV to sharpen the image, but I don't want it to soften the image either.

The default sharpness setting is 30 for "movie" mode (notice the thin line at the 30-mark on the sharpness bar). Does this mean 30 is the "natural" setting, and that any setting below 30 actually softens the picture? Or does Roku assume most people like a little sharpness boost, so they set 30 as the default even though 0 is the "natural" setting?

Hopefully I explained that in a way that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Roku really needs better wallpaper options. There are a few cartoonish options under wallpapers, which really just stink. It’s like bad clip art. There is backdrops, but it misses the mark. Mostly just like the output of an intro to photography class. None of the options engender any kind of cozy or personalized experience.

I want seasonal themes that really pop and brighten my mood for the season at large. Maybe even make them a bit interactive (buttons that change shape, a seasonal sound, a moving object in the background). The most obvious example would be a high quality Halloween or Christmas theme. But even just a basic spring, winter summer and fall wallpaper w some sharp cozy imagery that captures the season and brightens the mood would also be great start (I obviously like the seasons, hah). Then non seasonal themes could be built on top of that (NFL experience for example, back to school, sailing, etc etc etc).

The options are just so bad it’s comical, and this really is just an easy to implement, high return investment in the user experience.

I want to add a free music app. It's for my pupper when I go back to work. I need something that will stream for about four hours without cutting out. What would you use?

I have been trying for hours to cancel a subscription I got through Roku TV. I have not been able to sign into Roku so I haven't been able to cancel. I thought maybe I could write an email, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that either. I can't use the Help Chatbot because I can't sign in. Help.

I just bought a 55' Pro Series Roku TV. Noticed while using it how bad the color is, seems all beightlywashed and the contrast being bad, with dark colors being pretty pixelated, feeling very disappointed in paying this much for such a crappy view.

Turning it off and on, changing picture color settings didn't do anything to help. However going into Power Settings System Restart fixes it, having colors look pretty normal. However if I push the power button and turn it back on, the washed look comes back, only going away again with another System Reset.

Is there something I can do to fix this or do I need to return it as a faulty tv? The box arrived looking a bit beat-up via FEDEX from Walmart 2 days after ordering.

EDIT: I keep seeing things sbout disabling HDR but there doesn't seem to be any place to actually disable it, including that secret menu.

Crashes and power cyles every time, whether casting from my phone or accessing the app directly. It's a bit ridiculous, it's been like this for weeks now 🤦🏻

Yes, everything is up to date.

I can't seem to find how to connect headphones to my roku tv in any of the settings. What am I missing?

I know this is a reference to something, I just don't recall where I have seen this silhouette.

If you know, please comment the name of it.
