Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV

I am on board for this.
Patent it and no one else can do it.
Then if you do get or have a Roku TV, just don’t add the wifi to your TV. (I know this won’t work for the sticks, but for the cheap TV, just don’t add that to the wifi)
I know that defeats the point of a smart TV but its a lot cheaper than other screens.

Companies can use it without much trouble. They just need to licence it

True. Good point.
I was thinking more along the lines that most companies won’t license something unless they absolutely have to. I should have said not ALL the other company’s will do it.
