We need an option to turn off auto updates

Jump to solution

There should be an option in the settings to turn off, or at least have some control over the updates. I'm getting tired of the thing updating when it wants to & then my TV freezes while I'm watching something for several minutes & then restarts. I have a smart TV I use in another part of the house that asks me if I want to update when one is available. It's several years old. How hard could that be for Roku to add such an option? It's a machine, it's supposed to work for me & do what I tell it to do. Skynet hasn't gone live just yet so let me control my TV.
