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?

      They put one too many ads on the home screen… then they made them larger…

      fuck em. they get nothing now.

      blocked their ad servers at the DNS level.

      You can turn it off in the settings, and it’s not an ad it shows the same show for all channels that say they have it, no one paid for the banner.

          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?

      I have an old Roku Express or something similar and love it. It has an RF remote and a very responsive UI. But it is slowly becoming crappier with the infrequent updates.
