Remove the main screen ad

Had a update that added a main screen ad at the bottom left of the screen. Remove this or give us the option to remove it. I’m getting tired of this. Every update you guys put out is making this tv more and more trash. Always filling it with spam.

Re: Remove the main screen ad

That ad has come and gone for quite a while now.  I'm surprised you're just getting it for the first time unless you haven't had a Roku device for very long.  I doubt Roku will ever give an option to get rid of something that makes them money.  Some have said that changing to a different theme sometimes gets rid of the ad, but I don't believe it's permanent.

Re: Remove the main screen ad

well I’ve been running a pihole and it blocks all ads they try and put in. But they did something that broke the list I created. Just means I’m going to have to rebuild the list but this time share it with people. Screw Roku and there greed.

Re: Remove the main screen ad

I have themed and seasonal screen savers DISABLED. I use the Nebula theme. I have never seen an ad in the lower-left of the home screen.

Re: Remove the main screen ad

My content blocker (not pihole) has always blocked that ad.  I only see it when I connect to my open network for testing.

Re: Remove the main screen ad

I have to say, I’ve looked through nearly everything you have ever posted on these forums, and really you just sound like a whiny baby. If you have such a problem with Roku’s performance and how their product is set up, STOP USING ROKU! If you think you know SO much better than Roku’s team, make your own streaming device and stop being such a ridiculous @$$ hat.
