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?

        If it’s a Google TV you can always install a custom launcher and even disable the stock launcher via ADB and never be bothered by any of the curated bullshit again

        My recommendation is FLauncher
