I had to unplug the ROKU, wait a moment, then plug it back in. Apparently something changed during a recent update and changed my power settings. Your suggestions were applied and the problem is cleared up.

    Thank you for the fast start tip, I always wondered why it was disconnected when I get up in the morning. Now let me offer you a tip about your TV speakers, I left mine on. The reason is, I have a very good audio system connected to my Roku TV. At night the low frequencies travel throughout the house and disturb other people. By using the TV speakers only this doesn’t happen in everybody’s happy.

    Great overview. You covered a few settings I hadn't looked at before.
    I use my Roku TV as an external monitor for my laptop, and if anyone else does or wants to, make sure to set TV brightness to Normal (or lower setting), or else it will tend to burn your eyes.

    Great job….When I moved back to Ottawa 3 years ago, I got myself the ROKU….I love it…but was a challenge to figure it out coming from a standard digital TV from my previous location. Menus have changed so it was a bit of a challenge to navigate the settings as they have moved in ROKU’s menu system, but managed. Learned a lot. Thank you.

    This was a big help - I turned OFF my privacy settings for advertising, so I stopped getting generic vacation and casino ads and started getting ads for things I actually LIKE. Also, I turned OFF Roku's ability to change my home screen theme to seasonal/holiday images. For the life of me, I don't understand why people are so against getting personalized advertising. Stop showing me shitty fast food I hate and start showing me services and products I want!

      It's scary that you folks are so easily influenced by advertising that you are actually AFRAID of it. I have the willpower to resist offers and the critical thinking to research before I buy anything. I can't think of a single thing I've ever bought based on a UA-cam ad. But I do know there is a Lego Theme Park near me. And I will likely never go. But its good to know. If you are so weak you can be influenced by targeted ads, you should probably stop watching altogether. Sad, really.

    Did you know that you can also turn on sound leveling. I found it by going to antenna and was watching the news and accidental pressing the asterisk. This opened a options menu. I scrolled “Sound Settings” and then to “Volume Mode” and selected “Leveling”. This keeps the volume from jumping during the commercials.

Also check out Relax Tube, something new or I just discovered and both free. Relax Tube is great if you just want some background beach sounds and video. There are also others with that app depending on your preference.

Plus I have a two TV sticks in the back of my TV being Amazon Fire stick and my Roku. So I don't think your settings will help me as the Roku stick I have doesn't have a volume button on it as I have to turn the TV on from my Fire stick.

    Your information you share and how you teach is amazing! I do personally find the music distracting and some of your videos it’s a little too loud somewhat & there for competes with your voice.
    I subscribe to your channel because the content you share is so informative and the way you speak is not too fast and not too slow but just perfect enough to process what you say after you say it.
    This truly makes you a gem because there’s many like you who teach on tax stuff and they simply speak too fast too fast to grasp what they’re doing too fast to follow and too fast to even process.
    Are you willing to help a subscriber by lowering your music perhaps even changing up your background noise?

    As of 09 November 2022 my TCL Roku update is different as far as the advertising and privacy settings. Roku may have caught on to what we're all trying to do to keep our privacy policy "private". Anything for money I guess. And I don't have any of that extra stuff as far as Roku sticks or extended type Roku boxes or whatever the Hell those things are called. Just my Roku TV...that's all I need. Old guy here so I prefer my classic TV anyday than what's out today! METV is the only channel I'll watch, bad enough I have to pay for it through my cable. And I don't need a Roku stick or whatever the Hell just to watch Andy Griffith and Hogan's Heroes!

Then open up the video app you want to cast on your cell phone (let's say UA-cam), choose the video you want to cast, then select the 'cast' icon at the top. As long as you're on the same network, you TV should appear on the list. Just select your TV and wait until it connects. Hope this helps.

    This is an answer to prayer I just bought a Roku well the person that carried it in my home for me. With their phone showed me how to get hot spot tv right now. For I have no box or anything yet. But now I can't get anything not streaming or anything cause it has their name with a lock on it my question is if I do factory reset. Will that take off their licked name off my tv also since I have A Roku tv does this mean I don't need ATT I still can have free tv ?

    Poosible ideas for your next video. There are two things specific to the TCL Roku TV that I had to figure out. One was the ARC setup in the HDMI CEC settings. I didn't want to have to fish another HDMI cable through my wall for return audio, so that helped a lot. The second thing was my HDR settings. I know there are more than one 'series' of the TCL TV's so I can't speak to the higher models, but on mine, when the HDR is active on 4k movies and shows, it reduces the brightness so much that it somewhat defeats the fact that it's 4k. Maybe my eyes are just old. But there's a 'secret' roku menu that you can access to disable or enable certain features of your TV. I'm sure you already know this, so I won't go into detail. But I thought those might be some good points to cover.

      Great suggestion, MongoLloyd, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. HDR can be very tricky as I'm now finding out as I'm recording all my new videos in 4K HDR. Not all players support the format yet although they are starting to catch up. I am now working on a video about those 'secret' Roku menus that you mentioned. Thanks again for the great idea!

    "Best possible viewing experience" for me : the connection stating "excellent" but getting disconnected every several minutes and a cute orange spinning buffering circle and a black screen.
