Just got Roku box and channels are playing the same episode of many shows over and over and over.

Can anyone at Roku please tell me the point of showing the same exact episode on many channels of many different shows day after day? I like the older shows such as Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza, etc. I have seen several different episodes 4-5 times in the past 3 weeks!  Dateline,48 Hours How it's made and others I have noticed scrolling through also do this same thing. What is the point of buying a Roku device when I could just pop in a d v d and play the episodes one at a time? Very frustrating that nothing is worth the money these days. 😞
