Admittedly  I'm new to this game, but boy oh boy can I smell  a rat. Utter freaking junk...

Yep, at 67 with over 30 years experience online, I ca honestly say the roku garbage  is without a doubt the very  worst technology experience.

I will be sure to pass the word to EVERYBODY I come across....

Complete **bleep**ing garbage...

Roku does not have a Web browser so not really sure what you are referencing about searching the Web with Google on your Roku TV.

If someone is trying to charge you for such a service, you likely stumbled upon a scam, but not from the Roku side.

Feel free to provide some more details and can possibly check into it a bit.

I’m guessing he means this app by Innwoke:

Which does say: “SERVICE MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FEES”.  Given that, and the 1.6 stars rating, and the fact that searching the web on my TV screen doesn’t sound interesting anyway, I’m not going to test it myself.

OP – there are thousands of channel/apps on Roku.  If you don’t like one, try another.

Good catch/find regarding that channel/app.  That makes sense.
