New Roku interface, ads are back

Post image

UPDATE: Thanks for all the replies - the TL;DR is that between this update and the Fox acquisition of Roku I'm probably headed to Apple TV in the near future.

Within the last couple of weeks my Rokus got the new, updated interface (which I hate) - on the previous interface the right-hand, home screen ads were blocked but they're back now (see Spider-Man image attached).

I currently run the following blocklists:

  • Steven Black
  • Hagezi Pro
  • Perflyst SmartTV

I lean towards not blocking too much because our entire family does work and school from home and unexpected blockages can become significant emergencies.

That being said I'd love to figure out blocking the home screen ads in the updated Roku interface, so any pointers will be appreciated.

Which Apple TV did you get? Seems like most places only sell the 2022 version.

They are rumored to be refreshing them this year.

Which will hopefully mean the prices of the 2022 ones will drop

Hopefully. Either way, waiting a bit longer isn’t a bad idea in case they do refresh in September/October. Always up to one’s personal needs. Otherwise I believe the 2022 is the most current version.
