Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

Hey "Danny", There are multiple complaint pages for this problem at THIS website, and ACROSS THE WEB. At this point, asking each person for details and a screenshot seems like WAY TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. Roku MUST be aware of this problem, which is affecting a LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE CUSTOMER BASE. Just PROVIDE AN ANSWER, EACH AND EVERY TIME. I have scanned dozens of pages with no solution in site. 

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNACCEPTABLE. FIX IT!

SERIOUSLY. Dozens of complaint pages on this site and no answers. Just obfiscation. Insanity.

Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

And this has been ongoing for quite some time. It's a very simple issue, the info menu just pops up whenever it pleases, whether on antenna, or streaming, period. And it blocks the picture, and it's especially infuriating when you watching a foreign language show, and it blocks me from reading the dialog!! To constantly ask for each person's technical minutiae, is pointless, and appears to be nothing more than a stalling procedure, as nothing has yet been done to correct this very obvious bug...

I would never say that there is nothing there but a bobblehead with a script.  No intellect required or used.

Again, I would never SAY that

Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

This is VERY ANNOYING.. for those of us that use OTA. Love my tcl tv and roku interface but this is enough of an issue to switch it out.  Dont confuse this issue with the roku store mode screen. While watching OTA it will pop up the info screen that tells you info about the current ota station and prgram you are watching. . Just change the software so if i want to see it...push the ok button. Done thanks...please fixso i can keep this tv

Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

Its not the remote. Ive removed batteries, hide it under stuff..infrared...its most definitely associated with ota signal detection programming. Its very annoying.

Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

Well said. Just imagine all the people who hate this issue and instead of reporting it here they tell everyone dont buy this tv or roku. I love this tv and roku except this is a deal breaker

Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

Nice....that actually worked. Too bad roku dummies that have the code cant figure it out. They cane put the bug in but cant seem to remove it. 

Im a retired developer...i get this takes time to detect, test and deploy but this is a big deal. 

 

Good job and kudos for finding this workaround!!!!

Re: TV randomly pops up the channel info menu

I had the same problem with 3 tcl tv's. Last week one of the tvs updated to software version 11 and the channel info does not popup anymore. The other 2 tvs have not updated yet and the problem persists with them.

Good! Perhaps when Hisense pushes out the update that will finally fix mine!
