My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.
They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

Well, it is a Roku.
If you don’t want ads, spend more on an AppleTV, which seems to be the only thing that isn’t trying to jam ads down your throat.
I don’t think you need the rest of the Apple system, you can just install Netflix and Plex and whatever else you use.
Don’t buy apple’s expensive garbage. If you are thinking about getting some Apple TV device you should get a shield, an Android TV, even a raspberry pi 4b would be better than bending over for apple.
Just stop giving that fucking company your money.
I’ll admit I don’t know much about Android TV but is non trivial to set up a raspberry pi for TV.
The apple solution just works and seemingly doesn’t hate the user.
Android TV allows you to sideload apps very easily. I use several sideload apps. It’s friggin wonderful.
That is the side of iOS and Apple’s stuff I hate.
What kind of apps are you side loading? Apple TV has VLC and Plex, which seem like the apps people who manage their own media use. Of course you need a NAS or server to host your content and it won’t do that. Then all the major streaming services have first party apps (though Netflix seems to neglect theirs)
Smart tube The best YouTube app. Strips all the ads and much more.
And another one for IPTV.
