I have a 40" hooked up to my PC that I sometimes use to watch stuff I'm stream from my PC. I never use it as an actual TV. I wanted to see if I could download the Rumble app on it. When I hit the home button I received a message stating the OS would no longer be supported and I could explore these options for a new TV. I think this is wild that a display that works fine should be replaced because the software is toast.

Roku now advertises in app when you watch live content. It makes your content smaller, muted it then plays the ad. You miss everything from your live content when this happens.

I refuse to use them.

DNS blocks are a thing. I’ll find my list and post it.

They do it in app and bypass DNS/proxy/etc using all kinds of tricks. I gave up bothering to use their shit and having to fight them every time they change something.

I know I can get around it but I rather just hook a PC up and tell them to fuck off.

I don’t see any of that on my Roku. What app and let me test.

What I discovered they are old school and don’t drive add feeds off the same host they drive real feeds.

Also set in dev options, like qa1 server, couple other tricks.

So in addition to the ads on the live content you get more ads from Roku? That's messed up. I heard something about home screen ads, but I also heard there is a "secret menu" that can be accessed to remove them.
