[–] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) Roku is pretty nice permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] snowe@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago Roku is literally chock full of ads, and they send whatever you’re watching back to their ad partners. I thought Roku was good too until I recently bought one of their top of the line boxes and it had ads _everywhere _ compared to my Roku tv. I immediately went out and bought an Apple TV and couldn’t be happier. No ads anywhere, and is way snappier than Roku. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aatube@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* Due to how they made it on scratch based on the Linux kernel, finding apps to install is hard. It doesn't even have a web browser, let alone SmartTube. permalink fedilink source parent
