Roku is considering placing ads over HDMI inputs as a way to monetize smart TVs further, as revealed in a patent. The patent describes the idea of identifying paused content and inserting ads, as well as using metadata and content recognition to make the ads relevant to the content being watched. While this is just a patent and there's no evidence that Roku has implemented it, the company has explored other forms of advertising on TVs.
Amazon Fire TV Stick users experiencing a black screen issue may be selecting the wrong HDMI input channel on their TV. To fix this, users should use the Input and Source buttons on their TV remote to scroll through the HDMI input options until the Fire Stick homepage appears. If the issue persists, it could be due to power or Wi-Fi problems, which can be resolved by checking the power connection, ensuring the Fire Stick is inserted properly, and optimizing internet connectivity. Restarting the Fire Stick by holding down Select and Play on the remote may also help resolve the black screen bug.
