Nope, YouTube was no help either. There is no support for anything anymore, they just take your money and shrug and point to someone else when you have an issue.

You just have to marvel at the simplicity of avoiding all blame. First Roku points the finger at the channel provider and tells you that it's their responsibility to fix because they write the channel. Then that channel provider does the exact same thing and says that it's Roku's problem because it's on their device. This way nobody is responsible for fixing anything and it's the customer that gets screwed. Zero accountability.
