I have a love hate feeling about Roku.

On one hand, for a smart TV platform, there are a lot of positives. First and foremost it’s Switzerland. It’s neutral and everything is available for it - amazingly enough even AppleTV. As you said, the interface isn’t bad given the hardware constraints, and they support their hardware as long as feasible. I had a few Roku boxes back in 2011. I have three Roku TVs and will probably have two more by the end if the year. I also bought my dad one.

On the other hand, I hate the ads that take up half the screen and the hard coded buttons. The UI is decent, but not as responsive as my AppleTV 4K.
