    I went all in on Roku years ago because it worked so well with Plex. The menus and remotes were consistent across all the TVs, so nobody had to learn anything new. Now Fox will probably turn it into another advertising platform. This sucks.

      I also went all-in, but in the last year and a half, the ads went bonkers. I went all in on ONN 4k boxes with projectivy installed. I get smarttube now and it’s the tits. Sure, the chinese are spying on me now, but at least it isn’t murdoch.
