Channels & viewing

I contacted customer service and filed a complaint. The thing is, ads are expensive to make and they’ve invested in those ridiculous ones. Someone should be fired for hiring that ad agency.

I think they will find their ads are more expensive than they thought. I wonder what the tipping point is for their "expensive ads". 

#new tv - I am in the market for a new TV, but it won't be a Roku.

Roku channel. I've so far seen them on Castle and Grimm that I can remember. I've got ptsd and these things trigger me and I mute it and all following commercials. 

That you for fixing the new Chewy commercial sound!

Re: muting: It would be good enough for me if the Roku Channel provided a countdown to its commercial break, like I've seen at least one other channel do (might be Tubi; I don't recall). That way, we could at least be ready to mute the volume before the outbursts begin. But in my experience, Roku always led with one of these screaming ads (if they played more than one during the break), and the ads commenced at unexpected spots during the program (not at logical breaks), so we were always caught unawares and scrambling for the mute button on the remote ... and always too late to escape the initial audio onslaught.

Wishing I could say everything I feel. If I could find something I enjoy without ROKU I would leave over this ignorant and iratating commercial. I'm floored ROKU thinks it's a good advertisement because "IT SUCKS!!!"

This wasn't my post, but I did post an objection to these horrendous commercials. They are offensive and can be triggering for many people, and do not create a positive vibe towards Roku at all. If I had seen these before I bought my new Roku TV's, I would not have purchased from a company that thinks this is good advertising. People with PTSD or other Trauma can actually be triggered deeply every time one comes on. I just hate the screaming, so I mute it or turn it off. 

As for what channel? YOUR channel (Roku) posts these a lot. But I've seen them on other channels that have ads, as well. So being from Roku, you should be aware YOUR channel is putting this harm out there frequently.

Hope this helps.

These are seen with every show I've watched on the Roku channel. Fire the marketers that thought this would be successful. It's causing people to NOT like Roku.
