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.

As long as they don't remove the option to startup on input #1, I'm good 👍

4 0 ReplyYou have to have the remote with the 1 and 2 buttons. Then just press and hold them and it should give you the option to assign an action like launching an app.
3 0 ReplyOh I think mine is too old. Mine just had like a plus quadrant, power button and then there pre-programmed buttons that I've literally never used.
