Like other companies with streaming businesses, DirecTV is leaning into ads more.

      DirecTV’s screensavers will let a user create an AI avatar of themself by scanning a QR code on the screensaver

      You are expected to volunteer your face. And interact with the ads. Because you are getting this device to watch ads. Apparently.
