    I'm going the cracked route. I bought these back when Roku was pretty good before they started their shitty RokuTV and intrusive ads BS. This just solidifies even more that I have a right to crack the device and restore it back to the features I originally bought it for. They can attempt to sue my ass all they want but this is not what I bought the product for and was no where advertised as such on their box.

    Roku was already dead to me after going public and enshitifying. This just puts a tombstone on the grave.
