Online Weirdness!

I was watching a channel on my Roku TV featuring Miami Vice. I then went into a different room to do some work on my computer, and continue watching it.  Well, after opening the Roku website, and looking at the "Continue Watching" list, I could not find it! So I put it into the search window, assuming then it would at least show up. Well, my mistake. Instead it opened a sign in window, in which I had to again sign in, get the email for "verification" (I was just on the site), then sign in again, only to be taken to window asking me to sign & pay to have the Starz app!  I don't want that, and have always watched Miami Vice on one of the Roku Channels (Universal Action), for free, so why suddenly this bs?

And telling me this can't be posted until I put in "labels", only telling me all that I put in "are not available here" doesn't help me know what labels ARE available here!!   This is ridiculous...


How lame a system is this, not even any suggestions offered!  So what I just keep trying out different terms until I find one that your secret system accepts? And it only tells me it's not available AFTER I try to post it? This is crazy, what am I supposed to do??? I can't even use Roku or Roku Channel, Sign in, log in, streaming, etc, etc.... so what labels are available?

    Oh, since I had the channel (universal action) I put that in the search window, instead of Miami Vice, and voila!  I clicked on it, and now watching the show! So since when must we put the channel and not the show into search? And why didn't this show up in the "continue watching" list? What a mess...
