Re: Haystack News screensaver

I agree.  I bought their devices to put on all my televisions because of this Haystack Screensaver.  The benefit for Roku is that I also then use their device to watch Roku content, Disney, Apple, Amazon, Paramount, etc.  If Roku does disable Haystack, I will go back to using Amazon Firsticks and Google TV devices.

I have all these devices but chose to use Roku for the Haystack Screensaver.

Sometimes having news and weather scroll by with pictures and sources is perfect. I'd like to keep it has part of my Roku experience. It has a calming effect on me.

Re: Haystack News screensaver

Has anyone asked Haystack why they don't just create a stand-alone screensaver?  Seems like a simple solution.

I just emailed the "Content Director" at SEconomou@roku.com. Hopefully I'll get a response. I HATE to think of stupid digital screensavers!

Thank you for posting that! I sent a direct message about this to Roku support through social media and they thanked me for sharing my feedback. I recommend that others share theirs as well!

Re: Haystack News screensaver

I hope ROKU reconsiders removing or altering ANY of HAYSTACK News on “Roku platform”. Roku has been the best streaming product. However as a consumer i do have other streaming platforms options. I would like to remain loyaI to Roku Only if HAYSTACK need and screensaver continues to work

Re: Haystack News screensaver

I fully agree.  Roku is shooting themselves in the foot.  By creating trivial policies that cause the loss of whatever truly valuable content available on Roku, they are eliminating the advantage of using their product over the competition.

I give up the view of my security cameras on some of my TV'S that I would get with Amazon Firestick in order to have Haystack News Screensaver through Roku.

If Roku continues with their stupidity and removes Hastack News Screensaver I will remove the six Roku devices I am currently using.

The Roku system has been working just find with Haystack news... obviously there is no truly good reason for Roku to do what they are doing othet than some manager their lacks wisdom.

Investors take note: when you see a company like Roku employing managers and policy makers who lack wisdom, you know the company's stocks are about to hit the floor.
