ROKU sometimes ask you if you want to record when you don't want to.

ROKU sometimes drives me nuts. Every now and then, when I'm switching to another channel close to the top or bottom of the hour or right before the program start, I'm asked if I want to record the program, but don't ask if I want to get into the station now. This is a bad function since it would make you miss the beginning of the program you want to see. In order to switch the channel, you would have to wait a couple of seconds after the start of the program you want to watch before ROKU preform the switch. By that time, you probably miss the beginning of the program. This kind of thing never happen with cable TV, even through you can record on your own term. Of course there a way around this, you can go back to the home menu. But ROKU customers shouldn't have to this every time, some people like to go to the channel before the program they want top watch start. If I had a nickel for every time I switched to another channel a minute before the program start and was send to the record page instead, I would be rich.

Re: ROKU sometimes ask you if you want to record when you don't want to.

@chagade6, what app are you using?  Roku TVs have no provision to record other than Live TV Pause.  I assume this behavior is caused by whatever app you're using and Roku has nothing to do with it.
