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.

    I’ve been doing this for a decade.

    Highly recommend it. The only thing some people don’t like is using a keyboard and mouse on the couch, but there are endless solutions for that.

      I have a little mini keyboard/trackpad controller. Primarily just use the directional pad and media controls to navigate Plex, but if I need to pop into a web browser or whatever, it works great.

      Actually…that’s the sticking point at my house. I’m ok with mouse keyboard, but my wife and kids are not.

      Still trying to find a remote that will suit that use case.

      I have like four or five Logitech K400 keyboards, they’ve got a touchpad and they’re super inexpensive!
