Please ROKU, you can do better

I really do enjoy using my ROKU on all my sets. But the new UI and auto downloading of apps is a real pain. I get it, ROKU needs to make money, but lets try a different approach? It would be nice if the advert installs were not so "in your face". Other than that ROKU is doing a good job.

help connecting 5.1 speakers to my roku ultra

TLDR want to hook up the logitech X540 speakers to my roku ultra for native true 5.1 surround sound audio rather and having to use the matrix mode button for simulated 5.1

so i have a logitech X540 5.1 speaker setup, alongside a roku ultra and a very old 2010 sanyo DP42841 tv. the issue is the tv only has, Analog Stereo Audio Out (L/R) Jacks the red and white jacks. and while i could simply use the matrix mode button for simulated 5.1 surround sound the issue here is i watch a lot of shows like the blacklist which have loads of conversations which can cause issues such as**(Hit-or-Miss Upmixing):** Because Matrix mode is an algorithmic guess rather than a true discrete 5.1 soundtrack, it can occasionally make background music or sound effects feel louder or more forward than the director intended, while leaving the center vocal track fighting against ambient noise

so what options do i have aside from simply plugging these speakers into my TV

im thinking i need some sort of audio extractor but im not sure

Can’t connect tv to WiFi

I just moved and I don’t have the remote to my Roku anymore since I’ve been using the remote app, but it won’t connect to the tv since the tv isn’t connected to the WiFi but I can’t connect the tv to the WiFi without using remote app. I tried a thing with my hotspot but that didn’t work, anyone have a fix?

These new AI created gambling ads are ridiculous. Loud as hell, stupid plot lines, and promoting gambling. Sick. Gfy sellouts

Roku OLED tv is too bright at the home screen.

So I bought a new roku oled tv, but the problem is that ghe TV is way too bright for me. I even went to the setting and turned it to darker. I went to a video and used the * button to lower the oled luminous. But the home screen is still so bright that it hurts my eyes.

My TV is in a dark room most of the time, but the brightness of just turning the TV on hurts, yet when I go to an app or watch something the brightness is better.

So please tell me what to do or there will be an update to help with this issue because I don't want to return a TV that has what I want.

Roku TV goes to black screen after YouTube QR code ad.

I have searched around, and found this issue posted multiple times. All of the posts are archived, and none have a solution.

When watching a video on YouTube, sometimes there is an advertisement with a QR code. After that advertisement, the video resumes with a black screen, but audio working.

Roku and YouTube need to have their QA team investigate this issue.

Cannot find setup remote for TV control

I am using the Roku Streambar SE, I hooked it up to a brand new TV and am lost trying to find the setup remote for TV control option so I can power on/off the TV and adjust the volume with the roku remote. I have watched a dozen videos now and where the option is for them, it is not there for me. When I go to remotes the only option is add new remote.
