I whole heartedly agree with profiles. This is about the dumbest thing ever. Even more so because credit cards are in play. Sure you can do the pin thing but you shouldn't have to.
In my situation my wife keeps adding channels and rearranging the home screen. Then she forgets or maybe doesn't that it's my credit card on the account. Then she adds all kinds of stuff to the feeds that does nothing more than clutter it up with stuff I don't care about.
We were going to try cut the cord so we tried Roku out first. I think not having this one feature may be a deal breaker for us.
Being a Sr Software Engineer this boggles my mind how little foresight went into this. I could not even imagine having a household of 4-6 people and relying on just Roku for watching TV. I'd go out of my mind with the home screen changing all the time, feed with tons of garbage and channels that I have no interest in.
I am also all for this and think Roku should consider it at the home/ login screen. It is impossible to go channel by channel, and it would open up new opportunities to not only personalize the channels that are exposed, but it would help parents by limiting the access of certain content even before having to configure each individual channel options (which some have, and some do not).
Most of the wifi parental controls do so by device or IP address, so placing limits on a certain TV, means everyone in the house has the same limits unless it is changed each time. Having a profile option on the main screen would enable the same parental control concept before even going to a specific channel.
Please add this as a feature!
