>These days, if you sign up for a new streaming service, you generally have two options: Either pay a massive premium for an ad-free experience, or endure frequent commercial breaks and all the sneaky tracking that comes with ad targeting. Web data aggregator Bright Data has been pitching streaming service operators on an alternative approach for apps running on Samsung’s Tizen and LG’s webOS platform — one that comes without ads and sky-high fees. All publishers have to do to unlock a new revenue source is integrate the company’s Bright SDK into their TV apps and convince viewers to opt into Bright’s monetization network.

“None of the tv’s are on the internet”

lol. Serious? Every Roku is on the internet. And that is the “tv” Any monitor that has Roku becomes a tracking point. Single pixel tracking is a thing, Vizio got sued for it.

Maybe track all the call backs that Roku does. It’s a challenge blocking all of it.

Cityname.roku.com College station Austin Amarillo. No idea Why they picked so many Texas cities.

I was referring to the physical TV. Could a vendor cripple a TV via the Roku? No doubt but not as likely.

No. It’s hdmi. My point is a hammer is just a hammer till you give it to a nigger so he can kill someone.

Your tv is just a tv, but it’s still a nigger waiting for a hammer. Roku is that hammer.

Everything you watch is catalogued. It’s almost impossible to turn it all off. Look at Roku hidden menus, then you can at least change the ad stream to dev or staging.

Also look at NextDNS and set that up at the network level and then enable the Roku blocking. But it don’t get everything, look at logs.

Piehole don’t get it all either.
