buy a roku

Wait, what? A Roku has more ads than a fire TV. 1/3 of the screen is always an ad. For new releases they’ll sell the entire screen as an ad. ( Disney’s Seeing Red was a full screen splash ad on my Roku.)

Roku is more closed than Amazon fire. I’ve read about rooted Fires.

Apple TV seems the least intrusive right now but I’ve never used one personally.

I’ve had an AppleTV for about five years+ now and have yet to see an ad placed on the main screen.
