My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.

They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

    Roku to me has always seemed like a bogged down, spammy platform. I’ve always been surprised at how often it gets recommended in cord cutting and self hosting sort of forums.

      I have a fire stick and a roku device. The Firestick is a slow, ad ridden POS, the Roku UI is much more straightforward forward to me.

        Every Roku thing I’ve used was slow and had a bad remote and UI and I recall seeing ads of some kind in at least some of them.
