I believe it's Roku. That purple symbol in the bottom right is on the remote as well.
Very budget so this doesn't surprise me.
Also beneath the purple asterisk is the words "Roku TV" in grey on the bezel
Fuck Roku. Don't buy these. They shove ads down your throat constantly, and they proactively, aggressively stop methods of circumvention.
Wtf I thought roku TV were one of the good ones. I use a Roku thing that you plug in and I haven't seen this yet.
The good ones go bad eventually :(
The Roku box was one of the good ones... about ten years ago. Though maybe this is just a TV thing. TIL Roku makes actual screens.
In the past few years especially, I've seen so many unshakable "good ones" go bad. Some, in the worst possible way.
My Sharp TV runs Roku software. Suffice it to say I do not have it web connected and use an android box instead
The poster really needs to just turn off the Smart TV experience.
No. No, they are not one of the good ones.
I use a Roku as well and never have this happen so I dunno
