Re: Unsolicited subscriptions
Pretty much all streaming subscriptions automatically renew monthly or annually. It's not unique to Roku, who is just a middleman for most services. If you want to stop a subscription, you need to cancel it.

Re: Unsolicited subscriptions
I canceled my subscription to Fox Nation before the end of billing cycle Nov 17 2024.
I was billed for it after I opt out of auto renewal. How can I make sure that there is no auto
renewal on my account?

Re: Unsolicited subscriptions
So, you are saying there is no way to PREVENT ROKU adding trial subscriptions to my account that I did not request?

Re: Unsolicited subscriptions
@bunnyk, Roku doesn't add trial subscriptions, so there's no need to prevent them. What exactly is the issue? Most apps that show up seemingly for no reason are because of screensavers that are advertising them and the user unknowingly pressing Play/Pause that causes them to be installed. If you're getting subscriptions showing up on your account, there's other possible reasons like someone else having a device that's linked to your Roku account. The easiest and best way to prevent subscriptions from showing up is to remove your payment method and only subscribe to services directly bypassing third parties like Roku (and avoiding "The Roku Channel").
