▲ 699 ▼ Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screen (www.techradar.com) submitted 2 years ago by AnActOfCreation@programming.dev to c/technology@lemmy.world 270 comments fedilink hide all child comments Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads. Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future. The ads will be interactive and 'shoppable' and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars. Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.

Or if you want something that works with a remote directly on the TV you can install Kodi. There's really no point nowadays in getting tied up into proprietary stuff. permalink fedilink source parent
