Because You Watched... You might like...

Hi everyone,

I had a question, is there a way to delete or hide any of the titles on the "because you watched xyz you might want to watch XYZ" suggestions?

On every other platform I can delete or hide movie suggestions I don't want to see except on the Roku Channel.

I have the same question...I want to delete items on The Roku Channel, "Because you watched" list.

I've seen a bit of info on this blog that suggests there isn't a way to do this.  Has anyone found a work around?

Re: Because You Watched... You might like...

I am not sure that this issue is being recognized.  There are a lot of potential problems with this feature.  I do not like everything I watch being widely broadcast to anyone that turns on my tv.   I would like control over whether my watch history is used to push other titles.  At least this should be an optional feature, not something uncontrollable.  Also, are there any parental controls to limit what is suggested?  I'm not happy.

I also have the same problem and will be deleting my roku account shortly. It is a very annonying probelm that could be solved very easily.

Karla, we don't want pats on the back or statements of how eager Roku is to make customers happy. JUST FIX IT! I clicked on a movie thinking it from the title was something very different from what it was (very mature content). Suppose my young grandson is over and I wish to open the ROKU channel to go to the Kids and Family section, but before I can do that twenty MA or R+ or worse images and titles come up "Because [I] watched " X, which I didn't even watch, for goodness sake. No, I have to just remove the ROKU channel now rather than create a crisis. But others may very well want to see something of a racy nature but not want their private enjoyment broadcast to anyone who opens the channel. JUST FIX IT!

This is outrageous, can't believe it functions this way. I previewed one questionable movie and now there are five different content blocks on the home screen of every one of our 5 Rokus promoting a ton of basically PORN movies.  And there is no way to delete it!!!!  What in the holy he11?  We have young children in the house.
