    It should be pretty easy to code that!  Although Roku frowns on using device serial number (vs uniquely generated token) as an identifier, it's a private channel you can do what you want.

    I assumed you already know how write code for Roku, that does not seem to be the case. Ok, so put the above snippet in the beginning of your main() function, change the 3rd line slightly
    if blessed_ids.inStr(this_id) < 0 then STOP

    and that should do it, as a quick&dirty hack. I highly recommend you learn more about programming though.
