I just bought this tv then saw this.. I didn't even see the ad due to my frustration of trying to close it. 

Roku will be dead in my household if this continues.

Yeah. If this bug isn't fixed very very soon, my Roku device is going to become target practice, and my steam deck is going to become my video playback device. It's a Linux computer and it doesn't serve ads.

[apostate9]

There are tons of alternatives, all these channels are... are websites.

I'm right there. I'm going to unplug mine, take it to a quarry, and shoot it. And film it. And post video.

...and Mail the corpse to Roku.

Sometimes the apps are easier to maneuver than their website version. Sometimes the websites are better. Regardless, we made a purchase to consolidate the apps in one device/tv for ease of access/use and they're screwing with it in a very obnoxious way. They can balance their ads without doing this.

Is there a way to disable the new pop up ads I see when turning on my roku? For example, a preview plays for Wicked every time I turn on my Roku. I would like to stop this.

@Delnegs 

Try going to Settings/Accessibility/Auto-play video and turn it off.

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

I have about 10 rokus for the house, apt. etc.  Instead of throwing them away, I would sooner sell or give them away to people that wanted them.  This way the company does not profit from their F_ck ups.
