Roku TVs are interference machines (rant) (lemmy.zip)

Let me tell you about the hell that is Roku. They create so much wireless interference and I can't just get rid of them.

The problem stems from WiFi direct. They automatically scan for the busiest channel and then broadcast full strength on that channel. I don't know why they do this but it creates a crazy amount of interference.

And before you ask, no you can't turn WiFi direct off. Also the remote uses WiFi direct for some reason.

WHY, ROKU WHY!

That’s because they are tracking what you watch to place relevant ads. You need more than pihole to stop them

Rokus are relentless
