Roku channel parental controls

On the roku channel, I want it to be when I set parental controls to a certain level, pg13 etc, for it to not show movies and TV shows on the roku channel with any higher of a tv rating, is that possible for you guys?

    I, too, would like to prevent shows that are not within my allowed range to not be seen as an option. I would also like to reset Roku channels suggested shows "because you watched" and "your favorite stars", etc. Everything Roku channel is suggesting is offensive and it's not enough to just limit what can be played. I want true parental controls.

        Did you read and understand what I requested? Roku allows parents to prevent shows from playing, but does not prevent restricted shows from showing up in searches. I don't want my young children to even see the graphic thumbnails of many TV-MA or R rated shows. You also didn't respond to my feature request to reset the "because you watched" recommendations. I'm glad someone finally saw my post, but that is useless if you don't actually read and comprehend what I'm asking for.
