    I haven’t seen a seen a single home screen Roku ad since I installed Pi-Hole.

    This will be my last Roku, it has become such a horrible ad-ridden experience since I first got it years ago.

      At first, Pi-hole was enough, but some devices had a software update a year or two ago that used Google (if memory serves) DNS as a backup. It was sneaky, but adding a block rule closed that loophole.

      Not all devices had that change though. I’m hoping mine is old enough to be ignored for the new video ads.
