This is burying the lead. It's not just about showing ads. It is tracking everything you on your TV, whether or not it a roku service

Lmao they already do that. That's not new. They've been snooping on your signals for a while. My parent's TV sometimes shows a pop-up after watching certain things on antenna/satellite
