    So turn off ads it's easy to do . Go to settings, privacy, advertising and click sensitive ad content and click alcohol, smoking,gambling,mature content and no more ads And personal ads to but I promise they watch adult content at home on their cellphones . That's what is wrong in this world . Hope it helps

    tlbautista,
    You might avoid ads during playback if you can put your video on a USB stick or DNLA server, then launch Roku Media Player to play it.
