I implore Roku, please, remove this ad.
Even my kids are complaining that they are just shouting for nothing. It is so horrible to watch - it is making me hate Roku.
Please destroy this ad, please. Otherwise, I have to start replacing my Roku devices. It is that horrible.
Could you please share how to remove this ad? Or maybe somehow block this specific one?
Roku TV ad screaming is the absolute worst add I have ever seen. I can't mute it fast enough. I tried covering my ears and humming to drown it out but it is so loud I could still hear it so I started hitting the mute button. It creates so much stress. Who on earth thought this was a good idea?
While watching anything from the Roku Channel app on my Roku tv, the ads volume compared to the content is excessively loud.
There is no “volume leveling” option available on any of the audio settings of my tv. Pressing the * key also does not show the other suggested fixes from Roku support or YouTube and other help channels for this issue. Likewise, I’m not using external audio like a soundbar either.
I’d like to be able to resolve this issue without having to continue to mute or manually battle with the volume of the ads on the Roku Channel.
I should not have to mute commercials while watching the roku channel. There isn't an option in the settings under audio for volume leveling and when I hit star while watching a show on the roku channel it says that volume mode is not available. So, how is roku going to fix this exact problem all of the roku community is complaining about your channel? The worst, loudest are the political commercials right now. Fix this roku.
Thanks for supporting comments.
The one who thought up this series of obnoxious ads is a so called expert marketer.
These worthless waste of resources (time, money, trust, respect, etc) are to convince you to sign up and pay for some form of less ads. Don't trust them. There will be other catches even with paying the extra to eliminate the sick ads.
This is where Roku is.
They don't care. It's only about making the big buck.
Fire them all!
Excellent! You found a solution.
Please post the phone number. I can't find another way to reach them.
The crazy thing is that there are articles praising this commercials as funny and Roku said that they made the commercials to illustrate the issue with loud commercials. So Roku made the ads to create an issue that can be solved by buying a Roku TV. It’s like the mob breaking your windows and then asking for protection money. A quote from the Director of Device Marketing Colleen McGee. Come on Colleen you failed this one.
“The TV experience can feel frustrating and, yes, even annoying,” Roku director of device marketing Colleen McGee tells Muse. “Whether it’s searching for a lost remote, navigating a confusing ‘smart’ TV interface or decoding tech jargon just to find the right TV, it can leave people wanting to scream. So, we had people scream. A lot.”
I completely agree! It is SO INAPROPRIATE! I don't watch TV to be screamed at! They need to remove that like RIGHT now!
I'm actually hating turning on Roku because that's all I ever see is screaming ads! This kind of **bleep** doesn't do ANYTHING for Roku...it's NOT humorous! There is NOTHING good about them! I too mute the TV when they come in and seems like that's EVERY commercial I get! I'm about to rip the stick out of my TV and do something different! They're gonna lose viewers and customers real quick with this **bleep**!🤬
