I recently bought a Roku and was surprised to find they force ads on their home screen. It’s obviously not as terrible as a fullscreen ad but its still very annoying.
Roku has done occasional full screen ads too.

The Roku does nothing at all better than the Nvidia Shield. Roku also has giant ads you can’t get rid of. They recently blocked the few workarounds people found.
Honestly, you could just flash the fire stick. That might be the cheapest and most effective option.

What do you mean they won’t budge? Is this a conscious decision they’re both making to spite one another?

Once again I’m reminded that piracy offers a better user experience than the paid options.

It’s actually really easy.
Netflix doesn’t use Roku’s system level language / subtitle settings so I assume there’s a way around it for other apps as well.
Yeah, there’s definitely foreign language English subtitled content on Netflix that can be watched on Roku. I don’t think apps are required to use the Roku system subtitles. I’m more inclined to think Crunchyroll just isn’t supporting their Roku app properly.
what? i can’t speak specifically to crunchyroll (not willing to pay for it), but i watch a lot of movies in languages other than english with english subtitles on roku.
if roku is insisting on this (?), they aren’t insisting on it for other services like hbo.
