Your information is interesting.
I cannot agree with drawing parallels between Roku's service and subscription services like satellite or cable. And, I always say "No" when asked about my interests in setting up any service, profile, etc. Typically I do not put anything at all in what they call "profile", a concept I find offensive.
Which clock do you use? I will try one of the clocks to see if it makes a difference. However, for nine years I have used the the same screen saver on both of my devices, yet, as I have been telling Roku for years now, one of the devices adds channels and one does not. Furthermore, both devices started with the same screen saver and neither device added channels until '19 or '20. And, again, only one device does it except for a brief period not quite a year ago when both were adding channels.
Trying to see rhyme or reason to these Roku devices is futile. I have spent countless phone calls with Roku trying to fix this: none of them were able to effect any change, including sending me a new device at one point.
Added the clock. I do not need more activity on my screen: it jumps all around the screen for some unfathomable reason.
Television commercials were bad enough, but now not only do we have all kinds of products imposed on us, noise and movement are introduced in attempts to determine when and how we focus our attention. To think that Roku advertised itself as a way to break from the commercial world, touting itself as a means to "cut the cord" and have autonomy over one's media choices.
