I never plugged mine into the Internet. I just plugged in an Apple TV, and I’m good to go. No ads, no sweat, no problem.
New devices don't allow that
I got mine three weeks ago from Amazon. How much more new can it get?
Really? Last time I used a Roku device it forced an account.
It appears to be device dependent, some have the initial online setup requirements, even the Community Forum on Roku's site tells a poster they will need to setup with the internet connection and then can disconnect after setting it up.
Last post in this thread with a response by a former moderator.
You will need an internet connection and a Roku account to activate your Roku TV.

Once the activation is complete, you can disconnect from the internet and continue to use your TV
