    my roku TV can’t talk to the internet anymore because it was foolish enough to show me a banner ad while I was gaming

    its a dumb TV now 🥰💕

      good luck. recent update blocks all apps from loading unless you have their most recent ads. I let one sit for four hours before I gave up.

      now looking at replacing all my rokus(6) with Linux.

          I’m surprised you could even use it. I did that and after a year or so the apps could no longer use the APIs for my self-hosted stuff, which was routinely updated/maintained.

            all inputs are just run through hdmi. and I don’t use any internet based services on the device at all.

            its basically the same as a computer monitor. as all my media is on computers now.
