FYI you could always make things larger. Just use a number less than 1 in the scaling settings (I use 0.6 on my 4k tv).
I use "Feeds". Click on the menu, then select Feeds, and then Friends. You will still get ads, but it is much better than the default feed.
Me: Well, at least I can watch for free on CBC on Saturday nights.
Rogers: Yoink!
