Currently using a Roku Streambar for all of our streaming needs but if they pull this crap, everything we consume will be downloaded, served on my Plex server and streamed using the gaming PC I have under our TV.

Getting beyond sick of these companies using every measure and device they can to shit ads into our eyes.

My Roku is pie holed, I don't Even get the main screen ads anymore.

Oh, that's great to hear. I have a pi hole ready to set up, but I'm waiting on a card reader to come in the mail so I can finish it, but I was curious in how effective it would be.

I run a Piehole and don't see any of the ads on my Fire TVs.

It's that or because I'm still running the old gen2 firetv box that's way out of OS support...
