Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads.

  • Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future.
  • The ads will be interactive and ‘shoppable’ and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars.
  • Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.

      I have the remote with two shortcut buttons, so I can map them to my favorite apps and never see the homescreen. It’s actually pretty nice!

          You have to have the remote with the 1 and 2 buttons. Then just press and hold them and it should give you the option to assign an action like launching an app.

            Oh I think mine is too old. Mine just had like a plus quadrant, power button and then there pre-programmed buttons that I’ve literally never used.
