I mean, it could be worse. It could not work at all when put behind a pihole. I keep all my Roku devices in their own group and haven’t seen ads on them

I have mine behind a Pihole too. It blocked all the ads at first but Roku seems to actively varying the ad servers and they’ve started showing up again. I haven’t had a chance to see if I can block them again.
