Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

Roku is pretty great for what it is, but the day I see such an ad is the day it hits the bin. That would finally bother me into driving the TV with an actual PC.

It’s limited to 720 unless your entire playback system end to end is fully drm secured… this means hdmi certified devices only, single monitor, running windows. It’s extremely restrictive and even the tiniest system change (like adding a second monitor) almost always breaks it.
Streaming is a cancer.

I’m not sure. These old eyes can’t see the difference and I don’t own 4k hardware. It is possible that you need a locked down system for some content levels.

As a former Roku fan, forced arbitration or a brick was the breaking point. Roku can fuck off.

Forced arbitration is a cancer and should be illegal, but at least it’s useful and technically my 5 yo agreed to it, so how is this legal again?
