I just block all ads at the router level. When looking through the most blocked domains I see a lot from Roku.

If you're not tech savy, how do you row row row your bot???
-
Gently down the byte stream

How do you do that?
-
Install ad block if you have a GL.iNet router or pihole

Get an Nvidia Shield Pro and disconnect your TV from the internet.

When was the last time they even refreshed the hardware? Kinda hard to justify a $200 streaming box that runs Google services on 6 year old mobile hardware.

About 10 years old actually. It's the TI-83 of streaming boxes at this point: an absolute fucking rip-off. Pretty on-brand for Nvidia though.
-
Yeah it's got about the same specs as a $30 Amazon tablet and you'd now be relying on the largest ad company in the world (Google) instead of Roku, so it does seem like a total ripoff at $200

Blame the rest of the market for being shit - Shield pro is still the best box on the market for streaming HD video with HD audio.

Does your Apple TV stream Atmos? TrueHD? I don't think so...
