ROKU - I hope you're reading the comments regarding the 'ON NOW' banner...

I know I speak for many, many others, including those who have no knowledge of or just wouldn't bother to either find or post here, that we are extremely irritated with the new 'ON NOW' banner that has been placed, by default with no way to delete or move it, at the top of our apps home page. To have random things show up that are not of our choice or setting is not why we have Roku. We got Roku because we liked the freedom to pick and chose what we wanted to watch, when we wanted to watch it, and to setup our own home page of apps that we desire. We 'cut the cable' for that. So for YOU, ROKU, to start injecting on our home page of things we have selected, and put what YOU want us to be looking at right at the top of that page, and do it in a way that gives us NO CHOICE, you're acting no better than the cable we cut for Roku. So I for one will not put up with this in your face type action from Roku. I will wait a reasonable amount of time but if it's not either deleted or we're given an option to move it, I will throw my Ultra and the other two Rokus I have in the garbage and find something different, and I hope others do as well. Maybe Roku needs a Bud Light wake up call to remind them to take care of their customers. I hope not.

I wasn't kidding when I said I'd dump Roku and find something else. Well, since the "On Now" banner persists at the TOP of the Roku home page, tomorrow my new streaming device shows up and I will be DELETING my Roku account and throwing the Ultra in the trash. I hope others do the same. These PUSHY companies ramming what THEY want us to see down our throats should be met with boycott. 

I'm out Roku... you lost me... b'bye.
