Roku fans love its screen saver that shows Roku City full of hidden references to movies and TV shows. Within that, Roku displays ads on billboards for various movies, TV shows, and streaming services. In the past, if you hit the play button thinking you would restart what you were watching, it would open whatever ad was on the screen at the time.
Now Roku has started to test out replacing the play button as the way to open ads with the options button, also known as the asterisk button on your remote. This allows you to now hit play once again to restart your show or movie even if the screen saver is running.
