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.

    This posted prompted my to set up pihole. My blank space has a big “not connected to the internet,” although all the services work.

    Unfortunately, they also disabled accessibility settings, so I can’t remap buttons or add another launcher.

    This is my last Google TV. Are there any other options?

      From what I gather, making your own little “media PC” connected to a “dumb TV” or never-connected “smart PC” can give you a similar if not better experience!

      KDE has a big TV style desktop environment they’ve made for TVs now, and you can use KDE connect to use any phone as a remote control.

      Completely open source! Wee!
