      Yeah, every product that they sell will do it.

      Using something like OSMC (or buying a Vero is you don’t want to mess around with the setup) will let you control what runs on your player.

      Until you do that, you’re paying some random company while also giving root access on a device in your house and letting them waste your time with ads.

      All you get out of the deal is avoiding having to learn how to use a new piece of software. A Pyrrhic victory due to the fact that you have to learn to use Roku.

      I’d rather spend a few hours learning how to setup Kodi. It’s free software, you don’t pay for it and it’s Free software, you control it with no strings attached.
