Yeah, I thought it was no different than what already happens on my fire cube. The screensaver with ads mixed in.

Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.
Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don’t own a Roku now.

Do not look away from screen while ad is playing, or playback will be paused for 5 minutes for first offense.
