Roku will do this on their boxes too.

Yeah I don't get roku boxes lol. I have an nvidia shield pro, and I'm considering loading the lineageOS software on it

I got the shield too, it's amazing. Upgraded from an old Chromecast and it's night and day, didn't realize how slow the Chromecast was, even on Ethernet.

Roku devices and fire sticks belong in the recycle bin.
