I’m very disappointed Roku will no longer allow Vidangel on Roku starting February 23, 2022. I truly wished they would reconsider this decision. Thank you.

Looks like it's finally time to switch to Fire stick. So long Roku!

I personally can't stand the user interface of the Fire TV devices, even though I am a Prime subscriber. 

This is just another reason for having more than one streaming solution. At this time, there simply is no single streaming player that has "everything". Every streaming device lacks something, either a functionality or an app availability issue. While it would be wonderful if someone would make the one perfect device, so far it simply doesn't exist. Many people have multiple streaming devices. As noted, the Fire TV is popular. The Nvidia Shield is probably the closest to perfection, but it still lacks in some areas. Walmart now sells their Onn 4K Media Player for $20-30, and it does about 80% of what the Shield does, for far less money. Apple TV is popular for people who use iTunes.

But they all lack something, as does Roku.

If enough of us complain, maybe Roku will approve an official VidAngel channel. 

I just Facebook messaged Roku at

I also sent an email to Roku support at 
https://support.roku.com/contactus

I am a VidAngel employee and can absolutely confirm that we have submitted our app to the Roku store.  We were rejected, and although we repeatedly asked for a reason or explanation, we never received any.  I'm confident it was not an issue of technical specifications.

VidAngel has sent emails to their customers stating they have submitted their channel numerous times for certification, but claim that Roku denies certification without explanation. I have trouble believing that, but it would be nice if Roku would confirm that status. However, to @Kreigar , I really doubt you'll get an official Roku response here about it. The Roku moderators are not provided that information, and they're really the only Roku staff that frequent the forum.

So basically you are telling us the forums are just a place for customers to vent and have little visibility to or impact on anyone that matters at Roku?  That's a bit of a bummer, if true!

Thoughts?

Yes, this is a user forum, not tech support. The moderators to attempt to assist, but they are not tech support. Often user to user interaction can resolve many problems. However, this isn't one of them.
