    Thanks for checking out this video. I hope it helped you save money! Here's the Roku Playlist - bit.ly/3TS04Ey

    That is any smart device you use. Your phone is the biggest issue that is in your business at all times.
  • @user-rt7vl9ky3r
    Never in my life have I used a remote control for a TV that the battery only lasts a few (weeks).... until I bought dumb TV. Even if you set all that stuff to off... they still collect and sell your data. The only option to prevent that is to not connect your TV to the internet. Best thing is to use a prior MS OS that isn't just a massive piece of malware like 8-11, install it on an old PC, and connect that PC to your TV. Now your TV is truly smart and not a tyrant to the user. Plus the best thing about that is you don't have to toggle through a list... you can just point and click.

    Loved your step-by-step guide to resetting some features. I have a spare Roku TV I'm giving to my daughter. Your video helped tremendously! THANK YOU!
  • @sarahs.9340
    I can no longer use my Roku TV, because the legal team has downloaded a no option to comply arbitration agreement. Basically, if you do not hit accept that you will not ever sue Roku, your Roku TV will never be able to used again. It does not give you an option to opt out. For it thos morning on my tv. The legal teal hijacked my tv. What is our country coming to? How can they even legally do this, I bought this tv.
  • @dipperdanpeach
    Great video. I followed the instructions and turned off a lot of crap on my Roku. Thanks. Liked & subscribed.
  • @walkinlight3380
    I absolutely love my Roku stick! Stopped direct tv and happy as hell. Thank you for the important information!
  • @DadsPeePoo
    Why didn’t you show us where we can cover Rokus cameras so they can’t watch us???
  • @MinuteBurn
    One Roku 'feature that we don't like is how the TV dies almost exactly at the 2 year mark. They need to fix that problem.
  • Years ago, I did this and unplugged my tv, camera can't work, voice record won't work. Spying on me stopped. I stopped answering phone calls . the caller will leave a message or leave a text message. If I don't want that number to call back, I block the number. My phone is for my convenience only , not unsolicited sales calls. The same as trespassing on your physical property, harassment. I even cover the device to interrupt turning my device on remotely trying to use these features while I'm asleep and placing in another room from their toxicity. If they can't see or hear that saves you from being spied on visually without your knowledge .
  • @tiagarcia9218
    Thank for explaining the roku payment method. I know people that when setting up their up their roku and not being familiar on how it worked the people they talked too told them they had to set up the payment method through them. I was confused when l heard that because l never had that happen to me although l had my method payment setup with Netflix since l was using that service at that time. Now l Can better explain to people that they don’t have to set up the payments through Roku and to do it through the streaming companies the are going to use.

    First time here, and I'm pretty happy I already don't use those features! There is no way that my phone, or my television, or my truck for heaven's sake, should be listening to me. I bought a little tv for my she-shed, and it is a smart tv, the only one the store had that was small, and it is the most annoying thing EVER. It tries to tell me what to do instead of the other way around. In the winter, I basically use it as a speaker, plugging it in to my laptop so I can hear an audio book or something while I'm washing dishes, etc. It's always trying to sell me a channel or something. My other tv's, with the Roku, wait for me to tell them what to do like well mannered appliances.

    I stopped buying potatoes because they were watching me with their eyes.

    One of the things I love about the Roku is how straight-forward the home screen layout is. It's just a list of apps and a menu. I hate my Fire TV and Onn Android TV devices, they're both so cluttered that not only is it hard to navigate and find what the hell I'm looking for but the device is lagging due to all that crap on the screen. They're also full of bloatware you can't uninstall. I have the same complaints about the last couple generations of game consoles.
