Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.

      Step 1. Factory reset.

      Step 2. Do not allow it to connect to the Internet.

      Step 3. Connect a Linux based computer to it and run everything through the computer.

            Seems like everyone’s been getting that noise lately. I’m on my third.

        This method will not work on all Roku tvs, some Roku TV brands require you to phone home to activate the TV before you can use it for the first time. Which requires you to not only connect to the internet but also log into a Roku account on it. It’s stupid.

          That would instantly result in the TV being returned to the store I purchased it from.

          I bought a Samsung TV that wouldn’t let me change the input until I connected it to the internet, I returned that crap within the hour.

      Eh, I just started connecting cheap ($30 or so) used Apple TVs to mine. I saw the writing on the wall.
