Re: Video Ads Autoplaying on Homescreen

Hey all, wanted to share how to disable the Roku on your TCL tv until they realize we don’t want their auto-playing bull**bleep** ads on our tvs. 

Here are the steps:

- Factory reset your tv

- set up as a home device

- on the choose your network screen, select “set up later”

- next set up your devices.  Turn them all on and let the tv pick them up and assign them to the inputs  

- now you will have your tv acting as a standard non “smart tv” if you want Roku features you can connect to the internet at a later time but then must redo these steps  

 

I personally plan on just using a fire stick or my Xbox to use my streaming services  

Good Luck!

    Or you could try this in Settings/Accessibility/Auto-play video and turn it off.
