I've always just done it manually by viewing the Pi-Hole logs for the device I am on while the ad is loading. It takes getting into the weeds a bit.

Further, I don't have a Roku so I've never looked into it myself.

That being said, a quick search brought up this hosts file:

https://gist.github.com/sidward35/cea28bedd0ec0b1bceec8c2b22c163c4

Adlist for Pi-hole with domains for Roku, LG, and Samsung

Not sure if it's current or not. Lots of threads about Roku ads making it through after being previously blocked.

Appreciate the reply and link regardless! It's always whack-an-ad with these intrusive jerks.
