I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

          What company would pay Roku to scan for all shows over HDMI, and then offer a listing of any and all of streaming channels offering it?

            Those channels precisely. They get ad revenue when you watch it on their channels. If they can get Roku to bring them traffic, Roku would charge for that. No engineering effort goes unpaid.

        The amount of Roku stuff my PiHole blocks is asinine. I just recently added a blocklist for smart TVs and it ballooned the query counts like mad.

        +1 for PiHole. Worth the ~$40 for the Pi Zero W and accessories alone.
