Roku Search for movies or TV shows

  • I agree with others that the Roku Search feature has gone steadily downhill, currently tanking! Used to be a helpful feature. Search results say a movie is available free on (channel), then you go to the channel (install if needed) and it's either not there or not free. Most recent example: searched for 'Good Time' = result 'watch now on Plex.' Download Plex, search for 'Good Time' = result 'available on the following channels' (all for a fee, not available on Plex for free-watch now or otherwise!). I believe Roku is allowing this false content to get people to download more channels, for which Roku is likely paid. This is a scam which should be reported to FCC.

Re: Roku Search for movies or TV shows

This is true - it happened to me too.

Also upon reading on android google news about new channels that are free for the month of... , I jot it down and tried on Roku player but it is not free, pay to view it.

Very good tactics to make us fool.
