First of all, I don't speak nor do I understand Spanish. So my question is does anyone get advertisements in Spanish? The reason for my question is that I have set up my device in English and maybe once in a blue moon, I will get an advertisement in Spanish.. Why would I get it in Spanish?
I'm getting commercials in Spanish on Real America's Voice, The First, and ABC Network. Current are ads for Verizon, Target and Toyota. All through my Roku. DRIVES ME CRAZY! Everything is set for English Language in setup.
I am making it a point to NOT patronize any spanish language advertisers
Most any company you buy from advertises in multiple languages. You've just probably never seen those ads. Why would you boycott a company that advertises in another language?
Also, the ads may be inserted by a third party service, depending on how the channel is set up.
I believe that Language settings are just for programming. Ads can be in any language the advertiser wants. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Just because someone is watching English language programs doesn't mean that English is their first language. If the advertiser thinks Spanish speaking people can be better served with ads in Spanish, that's what they will do.
I appreciate your response but I have a very hard time believing the ultra-right, ultra-conservative news channel I'm watching is purposely inserting spanish language commercials and pro-vaccine commercials in their programs. "There are no conspiracies; but there are no coincidences".
Same problem. Fixed mine by going to Settings->Privacy->Advertising ->Reset advertising identifier.
That's probably not a Roku issue, but a channel issue. I'm guessing that the channel will take money from any advertiser that wants to pay them to display their ad.
I believe it to be a Roku issue. I have a Roku TV, stick and premium. All set on English. Get Spanish ads on Real America's voice on Roku TV, but different English ads on stick and premium at the same time. Sometimes get Spanish ads on local ABC channel over the antenna only on Roku TV.
My adds on the home screen are Spanish. I have set all languages to English. I do not get Spanish ads during programming on any streaming platform just the home screen.
No this should be a Roku issue as it is happening on all of their Channels. I have removed a few channels due to this issue because it does bother me. If I wanted Spanish ads, I would tune in to a Spanish channel but I do not want it. If I am paying for a service, why should I pay for something that has nothing to do with me? My hard earned money (and in today's age this is truly hard earned) should go to what I pay for, not what "others" want.
Im tired on hearing this god dam bull **bleep**. Please do only american ads. I want hear plain old english. If i wanted to hear this. I turn on spanish channel. Frankly i have nothing against these people. Just i hate hearing their language. Pisses me off enough hearing it in stores. Now i got hear it on my streaming to. And im watching ice road truckers in english. So kindly keep the beaners off my roku
