What app are you using to watch these "channels"?

I'm sorry I don't understand apps? We load freevee or tubi or pluto channels like that. It happens while watching the free channels. It doesn't happen on hulu paramount + or max.

Roku has intentionally confused what "channel" means. Basically, if it's an icon on your Home Screen, it's an app in spite of anything Roku might call it. Roku themselves have referred to them as channels, apps, and plugins, so even they can't get it straight. Within some apps (like Hulu and Tubi) there may be channels. I asked which app because you mentioned changing channels. Some apps have their own way of enabling or disabling captions that override, ignore, or change the Roku global setting. Whatever app you're using, see if it has its own setting for captions.
