Shit. I got a Roku TV. That's one big fucking stick to toss.

    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.

    Instructions unclear. TV now controlled by Nicole the fediverse chick.

    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.
