Thanks for the inquiry.

Please be aware that the Roku Channel app on non Roku devices will not have all of the same functionality that is included on Roku devices.

 

Thanks,

    Hello RokuDanny-R

    So the Roku team has No plans to update the app for Firestick OS to show the same add-on content that the original app for RokuOS have?

    IF not, what is the purpose of creating a limited app for a new platform that does Not display the same add-on content that the original app shows ?

    Thanks,

    Diego

    RokuDanny-R "not have all the same functionality" is one thing, but not displaying the premium content you are paying a monthly subscription for under the "Roku Channel" on your non-Roku devices is quite another thing!  The "Roku Channel" is not a device, it is a service.  And as such, you should supply the same services you are paying for on all devices supported.
