Wait, what? A Roku has more ads than a fire TV. 1/3 of the screen is always an ad. For new releases they'll sell the entire screen as an ad. ( Disney's Seeing Red was a full screen splash ad on my Roku.)
OK open to any other options and I mean any....there has got to be someone who can wite hacks to fix issues like this...they are doing it for chrome?
Roku is more closed than Amazon fire. I've read about rooted Fires.
Apple TV seems the least intrusive right now but I've never used one personally.
I've had an AppleTV for about five years+ now and have yet to see an ad placed on the main screen.
the ads on roku do not impact my experience, they go away as soon as i open anything.
*do not yet
Only a matter of time
i will give you that one. 😮💨
