TV was a gift from my wife’s dad. I wish he didnt. I already have a perfectly decent flat-screen I have hooked a computer up to.

    That’s what I’m doing now, but I have to go through the Roku part to get to it. Also roku scans everything coming through the HDMI ports to try and recognize media so it knows what ads to give you

      You can turn off the scan, which by the way is that it takes a screenshot every so often and checks if it matches known content so as to make you watch through their platform. Really recommend changing that setting.

      Secondly, block *.logs.roku.com with a pihole was my solution. That TV is the single most banned traffic on my network still.

        Fucking seriously. The two Rokus in my house are the two most-blocked devices.
