Well that seems to put Roku electronics in the prehistoric age as I use my Samsung phone and my iPad with earphones and they don’t drain the battery to death, and they don’t squeal and whine when I use them. I realize you are being honest about the outcome of using the “private listening” mode. Btw, that’s an embarrassing corporate term. Does Roku think that saying private listening somehow elevates their two cent plastic earplugs into a new form of technology? “Excuse me, I must put in my private listening device.” Seriously. This is a problem with your technology. Once a few more of your customers suffer some kind of hearing damage cuz your private listening device and your remote make an ungodly screeching directly into their ears there may be people who decide that other technology, like the upcoming google chromecast changes, are a better choice. I understand that corporations don’t want to admit, “Hey, we have this great private listening option but it will eat your batteries and it makes a painful noise when it’s failing, but otherwise, great device.” I’ll be returning my Roku and its private listening device and shopping for something that works properly. Unless Roku has an actual solution?
