Comment on Got Banned for Fixing Roku — The Paul Blart Mod Chronicles

⸻

Didn’t mean to spark a sociology thesis — I just got banned for fixing Roku. 😂

Apologies if this isn’t the right forum — it’s my first post and first Lemmy experience.

Here’s the Roku fix for those asking: 1️⃣ Add at least one of your antenna channels to Favorites first. 2️⃣ Then hover over the Live TV tile on your Roku home screen for a few seconds. 3️⃣ It should auto-open straight into your antenna feed (not the ad-stuffed “Live TV” hub). 4️⃣ Do this a few times — it seems to “train” the TV to default back to your real over-the-air channels.

Doesn’t matter whether “Hide Streaming Channels” is on or off — this trick forces it back to antenna mode. ✅ Still works as of 11-1-25.

Side note on the “AI wrote this” comments: I didn’t use ChatGPT to pretend to be smart — I used it the same way we all use spellcheck, Grammarly, or code formatters: to make my thoughts read cleaner instead of rambling.

It’s funny that on a tech platform, of all places, using a tool that helps structure text offends some folks. 😅

The ideas are mine — I just used something to help me say them clearly. Seems like that’s kind of the point of technology, no?

Be careful what you say where on lemmy then. This type of outcome is pretty much par for the course for a shitpost.
Stick to the politics thread if you want a lighthearted shitty experience.

ps- whats a roku? and if you're so into technology and all why are you not just using nixos? It can do anything else that any other thing can do with just one awesome config file???

pps - If you can rile up tankies, linux users and get a sociology thesis out of someone all in one shitpost, then you'll win a lemming-turd-cake - one of the highest honours in all shitpostdom.

  Not bad for a first post I guess 🤣

When a post is formatted as if an AI wrote it, it becomes hard to tell if the thoughts are those of the person or the AI. At least with shitty granmar or spelling, one can be reasonably sure that the thoughts of the person are being expressed, which is (IMO) more important than making things look pretty.

  My brother in Ra, AI is trained on human writing.

  That’s fair. But for someone like me who has a hard time being clear and concise GPT or any tool that can render my babbling into a clear coherent statement is helpful. I still have to review , edit , and finalize.
