Channels & viewing

[Natrluvr7]

Can anyone at Roku please tell me the point of showing the same exact episode on many channels of many different shows day after day? I like the older shows such as Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza, etc. I have seen several different episodes 4-5 times in the past 3 weeks!  Dateline,48 Hours How it's made and others I have noticed scrolling through also do this same thing. What is the point of buying a Roku device when I could just pop in a d v d and play the episodes one at a time? Very frustrating that nothing is worth the money these days. 😞
