Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen

  I used Netflix on my TV but after the password sharing and other issues I choose to block network access.

  Most of my Internet is done on my computer.

  When my girlfriend moved in, she had a big TCL Roku TV its software absolutely sucks. But it would keep a blinking led on ALL THE TIME if it wasn’t connected to wifi.

  I put it on my iot network, and I’m considering null routing it.

  I actually had a Roku box plugged into it since it had a better experience, but I’m probably going to switch that to a Nvidia shield pro because of this ad bullshit.

  What a goofy thing to ask. You know exactly why people use smart TVs on the Internet.

  Casting, using your phone for a remote, so the popup for connecting goes away
