If you are complaining about the addition of video ads to the home screen, try making this change on all of your Roku devices:

Go to Settings/Accessibility/Autoplay video, and change it to OFF.

This will only stop video ads, not the static ads, which have been on Roku for a long time. As other have posted, the right-side static ad has been there since my first Roku in 2016.

andyross ,The Roku ads are fine, it's 3rd party ads and popups that are not, and I think that is what the alternate Roku had on it, 3rd party ads to make the cost lower.  I bought the one without those ads.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it.
