Paramount’s Premium plan
If you’re looking for a subscription to the Paramount+ service, you can now do that for $4.99 a month. However, there are some limitations. While the subscription will allow you to turn off ads, you’ll still occasionally be shown ads. Generally, these are short advertisements that are meant to showcase what you can stream from Paramount. If you find yourself seeing these commercials a lot, then it’s time to upgrade your subscription.
If you’re a sports fan, you’ll be happy to hear that Paramount’s Premium plan will allow you to watch live CBS sports.

Amazon’s ad-supported streaming service
While most people would not complain about the addition of ads to Amazon’s streaming service, there are some who do. Thankfully, the ads are optional. You can turn them off by clicking “settings” in your account’s settings. Fortunately, Amazon does not use the ads in the main streaming experience, but they will still be visible on the IMDBTV selections.
Prime Video is Amazon’s streaming service for its full library of original movies and TV shows. It also offers live NFL games and a rich back catalog of movies and TV shows. The streaming service is free to use if you have an Amazon Prime membership, and is also competitively priced with similar ad-free streaming services. But how do you turn off ads on Amazon’s Prime service?
To turn off ads on Prime Video, you can log in to your account and turn off the feature. You will be prompted to accept or decline advertisements for related content. However, if you don’t like ads, you can log in to manage your content and device preferences. To turn off ads, go to Settings >Prime Video and click “ads” to unsubscribe from specific content.
Limiting ad tracking on Roku
If you’ve noticed ads popping up on your Roku-enabled television, you may want to limit ad tracking on this device. By turning off the feature, ads will not appear during live content on your television. To limit ad tracking on Roku, go to Settings and select Privacy & Advertising. Then, uncheck Use Information for TV Inputs. You can also disable advertising on Roku by unchecking “Let Roku track your usage” in your account settings.
Although “Limit ad tracking on prime video on RoKU” does prevent Roku from collecting data about your watching habits, you still have to opt out of certain features. The Smart TV Experience option allows you to disable aCR technology, which allows ads to be served based on your viewing preferences. Disabling this feature will also disable the Enable Auto Notifications feature, which allows you to watch a live show from the beginning without interruption. Finally, under Advertising, you can disable the use of ad tracking. Resetting the identifier will replace the identifier with a new one.
Disabling Amazon’s screensaver technology
If you have an Amazon Fire TV, you may have wondered how to disable Amazon’s screensaver technology. This feature is not present in Prime Video, but you can turn it off by accessing the screen saver settings in the Fire TV’s menu. To disable this feature, go to the Home button, Settings, System, and Screen Saver. You’ll find several customizable settings under this tab.
On an Android or iOS device, go to the Settings menu. Navigate to the Display & Sounds section. Select Screensaver. Scroll down to the “Start Time” setting. This setting determines how long your device must wait before the screensaver will begin. The default setting is Never. You can turn off this option and enjoy uninterrupted streaming on your device. This technique is also recommended for Fire Sticks and Fire TV.
