I did step by step. There's still an ad on the right hand side. Thank you for this channel.

Thank you for helping everyone protect their privacy. The ad banner removal at the end seems to be a problem for a number of people including me. I don’t know if it’s possible to help or if ROKU got wise and made it harder to remove. If you are collecting info on an attempt to find another way of helping people remove it here is what I tried.

I am using an old Emerson tv with a ROKU Ultra LT. After getting to the secret menu
I changed the Cycyle Home Screen banner ad server to Demo 3 and restarted the Roku by going to system->power-> system restart. It rebooted and the ad was still there. I repeated the same steps alternating from Production, QA-QA3, Staging-Staging4, Demo1-Demo3.

Thank you for your advice.

Everything went great, except the ad on the right side is still there. Also, an ad in the bottom left-hand corner for peacock 99 cents for two months. I checked and rebooted twice. It shows scrollable ads as always disabled, but the blasted things won't go away. Thanks for the tips! 🎉

My menus were different than yours, so it was hard to follow some of your directions. Once before, I had tried turning off the thing that shuts you down for not saying "yes I'm still watching". That only worked on the roku channel. But your directions actually worked! Thank you, thank you! Once I realized your hints worked I came back to give you the thumbs up you deserve.

Nice, cheers. Personally I turn Auto-adjust display refresh rate on, on mine. I find it provides much smoother playback with less stuttering, at least on my ancient TV in the lounge.
The downside is the glitches you mentioned, it often takes a moment while the TV adjusts to the new input and outputs a black screen for up to a couple of seconds, which can be quite irritating when watching content with ads, as it will happen each time a new one loads.
I find the improved playback quality worth it the minor irritation, in my use case.

i tried all 3 demos and the ad is still there, you do have a nice informative channel here and i subscribed

I am so glad I came across you channel here on YT. Now I can go thought my apps and menus with out having to mute my sound, Thanks alot.

Screensaver is actually a good thing as some TVs can get burn in from sitting on a single screen too long. Turning it off is a bad idea. It doesn't take that much for system resources to use.

[cristinaj]

Thank you so much for the info! 😊 I had to go back into "secret menu" and change the ad banner settings to Demo1 in order to remove the ad, so my roku may be a bit different. But again, thank you.

And btw... I'm digging your channel name. 😄👍

[CurtisSimpson]

Fantastic. I had no idea how to do this but my privacy and security are important so thanks for the help!

[timwindsor]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Cheers

[candice]

Thank you I really enjoyed that
And it was so easy to follow along and I appreciate that

On the subtitles menu, a tip for you is to have it turned on for replay. If you haven't heard or understood what someone says, rather than have to keep rewatching the same bit of film over and over to get what is being said, subtitles on on replay will show you what they are saying.

I will definitely give you a thumbs up on this one thank you for this I've used Roku for years and didn't think about any of this. Any idea how to clear the cache on the Disney Plus app so it will stop starting the next episode at the end where it left off?

[haydenblack]

Thanks for the Roku tips! I’ve wanted to get rid of the ad on the right side of Home! 👍👍 I have Firestick & Roku & use both.
I’m in Houston in US but use my VPN for UK & Australia.
Thanks for all you do!!
Cheers!

[Rebecca-GLaines]

Im just SOOOO happy about the "bandwidth saver" I like the TV on low while I sleep and it shuts off and i have spent hours trying to figure out why?!
Thank you!!!!

[Bigsteelguy]

Thank you! for the wonderful tips brother

[robertwhiller]

I wish there was a way to get rid of those annoying political ads during political season.
