Re: Block certain commercials

Your remarks and lack of info are of no help. Oblivious to you but obvious by everyone else response to you on this thread. There are ways to have options of what ads are run even if it’s not in place on the Roku channel specifically. Perhaps that will change as they continue to advance options of viewing. Good day. Lol

Re: Block certain commercials

@Wldrnss77  If cable and satellite companies don’t give you the option then Roku, Amazon and Google won’t either. Commercials make companies money. That will never end. If a commercial offends you the file a complaint with the FCC through the link I provided

Re: Block certain commercials

If you have no inside info on Roku programming options for future use, move on to another thread. Thank you for your attempt to help. Have a nice day.

Re: Block certain commercials

@Wldrnss77  No one does on here and no one can assist you. Hence why no one from Roku has replied. You want a way to filter commercials. You cannot. So then post something in suggestions. But it won’t happen cause there is nothing wrong with the commercial you saw. Suggestions are posted here at this link:

Re: Block certain commercials

@Wldrnss77  I provided you very useful information. You just refuse to listen.

1. Email Fitbit 

2. File a complaint with the FCC

3. Post in the Roku suggestion area

Re: Block certain commercials

Not really useful to the subject at all. I contacted Roku and will await if they respond about future ad options for viewers. Thanks for trying.

Re: Block certain commercials

@Wldrnss77  It is very useful. Like I said you keep refusing to listen. Roku can’t magically add a commercial filter into their software. That would take months of coding just to appease 5 users out of millions. Also they only commercials they could filter if they could would only be on the Roku channel. They would not be able to filter commercials as a whole in every channel they offer. Meaning filtering commercials on the Roku channel does not mean filtering commercials on Hulu. Emailing Roku won’t accomplish anything. If you have a suggestion for Roku then post it in the Roku suggestion area. But unless millions of people want the same filtering as you then it will never happen

Re: Block certain commercials

It’s about the ROKU channel. Your remarks and suggestions aren’t helpful. Only you think so. Again, have a nice day. No need to reply but you probably will… lol

Re: Block certain commercials

@Wldrnss77  Once again please submit a suggestion to Roku. But what you are asking for won’t happen in days, weeks or months. It could take years for a software change you want to be released. Never mind if only a handful of people request it then it won’t happen. Also Roku makes money off commercials. Companies pay Roku to advertise. So that would create an entire problem like that. What you want isn’t as easy as 1,2,3

You want a setting inside the Roku channel that says “filter commercials”. That won’t happen
