      if your router is able to you can set up ACLs to allow the TV access to your network but not the internet.

      but now that Roku has pop up ads for simply moving around the app menu

      Huh? I have 3 Roku Ultras, a Roku Stick, and a Roku TV and none of them do that. Have you gone into the Roku settings menu recently and checked your advertising settings?

        Nah, they’re doing A/B testing currently for their next several waves of ads. I think (but don’t quote me on this) I read that in the new EULA.

          That sucks. If I can’t control the ads with settings, dns fuckery, or firewalling then I guess I’ll leave their ecosystem.

            Indeed. I’m saving up for a dumb tv with an HTPC, and hopefully will get it deployed before that nonsense comes my way.
