I finally updated my Ultra to 12.5. atxchip , I think you're looking at this all wrong. Nothing has changed as far as USB access. All installed channels have always had access to anything connected to the USB port. This new warning is just letting users know what has always been true.
It would be nice if users could specify which channels have access, but that's not the case - it's all or none. The warning is also poorly worded since it seems to imply that the "installed channels below" will list those channels with access so they can be individually allowed or denied, but "below" refers to the two buttons.
Hi, Jim. Thanks for your contribution. Something else that would be nice: If Roku would make this access clear to it's users. From the start. I dug through all the Terms and Conditions specified in the Roku software and didn't see any mention of this issue, unless it was "implied" or buried in some nebulous verbiage.
I'm wondering why Roku suddenly thought it needed to so directly issue this message?
Nonetheless, I've cleared up my issues with this, completely. I've switched to a standalone hardware media player. Sure, it means another remote to keep track of, but the price$$ is very reasonable for these devices. To me, the benefit is NO Ethernet or Wifi, so NO INTERNET connection.
