Just turned on my TV to see a video open on the home screen and play some trailer? I hope this was a fluke. I trashed all of my Amazon boxes years ago because of this garbage. If it keeps up, my Rokus will be next.
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.
