    Both our TVs are Rokus, internet connected and I’ve been too lazy to configure the firewall. Only ads I see are on the home menu screen, and those are slightly annoying but unobtrusive.

    Wife’s TV in the bedroom is only used for YT. (I think, that’s her thing.) Mine’s a second monitor for my PC to watched pirated content.

    Where and how are people seeing ads?

      They’re on the home screen in a banner on the right when you select an app, as sections on the left, in a banner on the bottom left, a banner over the movie in their Roku Channel app and so on.

      You may be in a country where they are not serving many ads. They also use ACR on TV models which have it tgat sends fingerprints of what you watch to a server for personalised ads.
