Just turned on my TV to see a video open on the home screen and play some trailer? I hope this was a fluke. I trashed all of my Amazon boxes years ago because of this garbage. If it keeps up, my Rokus will be next.

I also got this. It was a Moana 2 ad and it had a "close" button if I wanted to dismiss it.

I don't have a picture of it, but it's clearly a new feature that Roku has just rolled out. 

If it happens again, I'll also be getting rid of all roku products.

I have an Ultra 4k player. I don't use it for anything other than playing other services. Now... it's bad enough that the home screen is flooded with ads. But today when I went to use the device it tried to force me to watch an ad before I could select my ap. This is unacceptable and if it continues, I'm trashing this device. How dare you force me, on a device that I ALREADY paid for, to watch a streaming ad before choosing an ap to watch another service. This needs to stop and I want to know how to do it.

No... no one is going to have a picture of it. We don't sit here watching TV with a camera ready to take a screen shot. Two of us have had the exact same experience and this experience is unacceptable. Keep it up and your device will be trashed and I won't be buying another one.

The persistent ad banners were bad enough, but automatically playing ads is unacceptable. How can we make sure this doesn’t happen going forward? That kind of advertising is counterintuitive to me. Anyone else?

You could try 

Settings/Accessibility/Auto-play video

and set it to Off

I did that when they started with the videos on the right side ad box. 

Currently shopping alternate streaming boxes.

Yeah I'm back to using my Chromecast if this ad stupidity continues.

What is everyone going to switch to now that Roku is forcing ads on us?  This is bull**bleep**, I want a refund.  I guess back to chromecast?  

[axpotti]

If I see it, I dump my Roku.
