Is there any way to block Home Screen ads that aren’t appropriate for children? I tried filtering ‘Sensitive ad content’ from the privacy menu, and I was unable to select a different ad by highlighting + using ‘*’ to open the Home Screen ad menu.
The ad was on the Home Screen for hours and persisted power cycling the device. I finally did a factory reset which worked.
Thanks for the response. I tried that before resetting the device but nothing happened when I selected the ad and pressed *. Based on other questions, some Home Screen ads can’t be suppressed.
The asterisk button does nothing on the ad for me. This is inexcusable for Roku not to have a setting for this especially when a lot of us have Roku setup on our kids TV's.
I agree. I finally took the plunge and ordered an AppleTV for our living room. I’ve used Roku exclusively for 10 years, but I guess it’s time to try other products.
This no longer is being given as an option, and I changed my setting to screen out this topic, but it just won't go away.
Any suggestions on a gaming consul or something else I could switch to? Amazon has more ad content I would like to avoid (but it might target better?) and I don't think Netflix has a device for TV.

Original post: This is a suggestion, not a rant.
I am a very long time paying subscriber with 13 ongoing monthly premium content subscriptions: YouTube Premium, SiriusXM, Spotify, Hulu, Max, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, AMC+, Netflix, Disney+, and ESPN.
Roku should utilize this subscriber information and enable this type of user to disable any/all ad panels from their Roku service interface.
I feel that being a paying subscriber to this many services entitles me to a completely ad-free viewing experience.
Comments, suggestions?
