So tonight on Roku I find this movie that doesn't look too bad, on "Crackle." It makes no difference but it's "Cold Blood"
But this is a "free" movie so it has ads......every so often, 4 or 5 short 10 second or so spots. And you can not get out of them. The only Roku button that is active during ads is the "home" button
So I'm watching this, and putting up with the ads, and at some point "ad 3 of 5" just SAT there with a blank screen........nothing.....
No recourse but to hit the "home" button and get back into the "app" for "Crackle" and re-find the movie. The damn thing is so dumb it doesn't even have a "continue watching" list.
So I find the movie.......and there's no way to get back in but to start over and fast scan through the damn thing........from the beginning...........which is a PITA in and of itself........
BUT HERE IS THE KICK...........every 10--15 seconds or so you spend fast scanning through the thing.........IT STOPS for 4 or 5 more ads!!!!
Took me frickin 15 minutes to get back to where I was in the movie!!!
On a side note.........it just triggered 5 more ads!!!!
