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!

Yeah, that's the big issue with Kodi. Good luck getting any legitimate streaming services to work at more than 720p at best. And you can forget about library integration with those legit streaming service addons too.

The best user experience is trying to find the most trustworthy pre-packaged/configured pirate "version", and optionally paying for realdebrid.
