Re: Video Ads Autoplaying on Homescreen

I completely agree. This is a ridiculous overstep. You fundamentally changed a product I've had for years without any issues. We have five Roku devices in our house and our Ultra started attempting to play video ads every time it's turned on or woken up from standby. This is absolutely a no-go for me. I'm currently looking to replace all of our Roku devices because of this and I will never go back. Roku crossed a big line. The sad part is I figured out if delete the Roku app the ads stop but now it constantly asks me to reinstall Roku. I'm done.
