Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screen

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.

Anyway to roll back firmware on some of these TVs?
Mine was never connected, except once a friend came over and connected it and it updated and now it requires a connection to rename inputs...
It's never been connected since that day either.
Hate this kind of crap.
Why did they ever connect it? just wanted to watch the world burn?
They didn't understand how the TV and Shield worked and had wanted to watch some sports thing on their ESPN account.
I guess they thought i was mistaken when I told them they only needed the shield remote for everything and the shield could do it all.
I don't think so, I searched around but didn't see anything noteworthy. Maybe a hacker will get bored one day and jailbreak them, but seems like there's no hope as of right now.
It's honestly kind of surprising this hasn't happened yet.
I guess TVs don't have much processing power or room for it. Or maybe all the drm in them is a nightmare.
