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

    Why is your Roku TV even on the Wi-Fi if you just block its internet?

      They have models that blink the large white LED light until it’s connected to WiFi. Annoying as hell.

        Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that - mine does do this, and the LED is right in the bottom middle, and it’s super bright.

          Sounds like a job for some black tape.
