How do I get rid of advertisements?

Just bought a new Roku stick. Set it up but now my Roku shows advertisements all the time. Do not want these. Did have it before on my old Roku. How do I get rid of them?

Re: How do I get rid of advertisements?

I cannot get rid of ads on the home screen. OK. But what about when you are watching/listening to programs? No way to get rid of them? I did not have them on my old Roku device, just on this new one.

Re: How do I get rid of advertisements?

Some Roku app/channels have ads.  Some Do not.  Some give you a choice based on whether or how much you are willing to pay.  Maybe you have not signed-in to some channels where you have paid accounts??

More info would help.

Re: How do I get rid of advertisements?

I'm still using the same device I've used for over a year and those ads that happen while you are watching a show have just started showing on mine. I HATE IT!!! Some of them actually cut off 1/3 of my viewing screen!! I cannot see what is happening under the ad. While I don't like the regular commercials that happen about every 5 minutes, I understand that they are a necessary evil, but this new practice is beyond reasonable!! I only logged in here today to lodge a complaint with the company, but the only thing I could find was this group, so here I am... complaining. This really must stop or I will go back to using my Amazon Fire Stick! I MISS MY VCR from the good ol' days!!!
