TwinIon Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I liked Roku for a while as they seemed like an ideal platform agnostic set top box provider, but they've long since transitioned to an ad company, which brings with it the same burdens as any other platform. They aggressively sell data, they make (or fail to make) deals with content providers over that data, and they do stuff like this. There's no way I buy a Roku anymore.

Dre801 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I had one of the original Roku boxes from over a decade ago. Haven't dealt with them in any form since then. It was a nice little box at the time. All of my TV's are Sony and they exclusively use AndroidTV, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
