    Hey Obi

    Thanks for the post.

    Please be advised that channels added or removed on your Roku device/s are synced to your Roku account. Therefore, if both of your Roku devices are linked to the same email address, the channel that you'll be removing on one device will also reflect on other devices linked to the same Roku email.

    I hope this helps!

    All the best,
    Kariza

        If you want each device to be individually controlled, you need to set up each device under a different email account. (This in turn will give you a different Roku account for each device).

        If you choose to do this, then make sure you order subscriptions directly from the provider and not through Roku, as only "linked" Roku devices can share subscriptions.

      That is not helpful. Perhaps, if there is some reason the company must sync the channels, that a channel could be hidden?

       

      This one bug basically throttles the parental control feature and makes me create another account.

        Some consider it a bug while for others it's a feature. Myself, I like having my channels sync'd across all devices. But I have no need for the parental control functions. That's simply my use case. 

        Perhaps if Roku could consider having a sub-account of the main user account that would allow specific devices to have a different channel set. In that sub-account channels could not be installed or removed without a passcode/PIN, and allow a content restriction to be applied to only those devices. But I have no idea how complicated that might be to actually implement, and that is most likely the reason it doesn't exist.
