The story

It was a Saturday football game. Our favorite team winning. The whole family on the couch.

A timeout took us to a commercial break.

Then came an ad none of us would ever choose to watch, let alone with our kids in the room.

It was a mad rush to find the remote. Block the littles' eyes. (Block our own eyes.)

For the rest of the game we'd watch, then TV off. Wait. Back on. Check? Timeout. Off again.

It was absolutely ridiculous. So we made a button for it.

The picture goes black in an instant. Audio keeps playing, so you'll hear when the ad ends. Press again and you're back.

For when the picture's fine but the words aren't. One press to silence, one press to bring it back.

Questions

What is the NOPE remote?

A two-button remote that lets you control what comes into your home. Black out the screen or mute the audio whenever you want, and only see what you want to see. No sitting through raunchy ads, awkward scenes, or inappropriate parts of your favorite shows and movies that you know are coming. (Or if your team is tied in double overtime, with .04 seconds left, and you literally can't bring yourself to watch the kicker attempt a 49 yarder, just black out the screen. No judgment. Use it however you see fit.)

Which TVs does NOPE work with?

Roku TVs, including brands like onn and Westinghouse. Support for more TV brands is on the way.

Does it block ads automatically?

No, and that's on purpose. You decide what's worth blocking. NOPE just makes it one press instead of a scramble.

Does it turn my TV off?

No. Only the picture goes dark. Your show, game, or app keeps running and the sound keeps playing, so there's nothing to restart.

Does it work in YouTube, Netflix, and other apps?

Yes. It works with anything playing on your Roku TV, including streaming apps and antenna TV.

Do I need Wi-Fi or an app?

No. NOPE talks to your TV the same way your regular remote does. Take it out of the box and press.

What if it doesn't work on my TV the first time?

Hold both buttons for 5 seconds. NOPE will try each TV setting until your screen goes dark, then remember it.
