MichaelNC I think you're out of line. You act like Roku took this action directly against VidAngel. If you read more than a few of the posts, you will see that Roku removed support for ALL non-certified channels. This was not an attack against VidAngel or any other specific channel. For legal reasons, Roku removed all support for any channel not available in their channel store. The private channel process was being greatly abused by some developers, and Roku really didn't have any choice but to shut it down. The Roku end user agreement states that non-certified (private) channels are unsupported and could be removed without warning at any time. As it is, Roku gave channel developers more than 90 days advance notice.
Now as to why Roku won't certify VidAngel, that is a fair question, and one I'd like to know as well. But it will never be answered here in this forum, because the company only provides this as a community for users to share information and sometimes get assistance. But this is not a tech support forum, and it is not a valid conduit to provide feedback to the company.
If you do decide to get rid of your Roku devices, please recycle them responsibly. Regardless if you sell or give them away, make sure you perform a factory reset to remove all your personal information, and log into your Roku user account and remove the device from your account. This protects you and your information from theft.
