Solving playback issues

[History101]

This is a BS canned response folks. It appears with different staff names throughout the thread. These people don't give a whit about what their customers want or prefer.

Personally, I find it interesting the goofy Weird Al ad is so closely associated with programming on America's Real Voice. Leads one to question whether or not Roku is trying to negatively reinforce people's accessing of the content associated with that news outlet.

Roku, I think your Commy Kalifornia roots are beginning to show a bit.....

"Rumor has it" that the Weird Al ad sequence has been removed, but nothing can be further from the truth.  After Newsmax went behind the paywall, I decided to give Roku another try to see if there were any alternative (conservative) news channels besides those on Pluto.

It didn't take long for that lousy ad sequence to come on and as soon as I post this, I'm going back to Pluto.

WTF is wrong with ROKU???  They may as well be Republicans who run on Trump's coattails, only to stab Trump in the back (can you hear me, Mittens "Pierre Delecto" Romney?).

Hey, Roku!  You need to tell your advertisers that we can't hear their commercials anymore, since we now MUTE your sound at the beginning of every commercial break for fear that AL or MARTHA might show up to make us PUKE.  To keep your most annoying self-promos running, you're screwing all of the companies who support you with ads.  Good job, IDIOTS.

Please let me know when this annoying commercial is taken down because I might give Roku another try, meanwhile I have removed all Roku channels from my Live TV input and just use antenna for local television and use Pluto, Peacock, Tubi, Freevee and others. Roku is not an necessity anymore others have just as good or better content without all the annoyance. Thank you.

BS, pure BS. After all the cut and paste canned responses from your robostaff, this rings VERY hollow. I've personally moved on from Roku, since you folks show so little concern or responsiveness to your customers, not to mention just plain old bad taste. Handled in the classic style of Communist bureaucrats.

My favorite show of the day is War Room on RAV.  I missed 90% of the first 90 minutes today, because I mute the commercials, but don't notice they're over until Steve Bannon is about to say, "we're taking a short break."  It's bad enough that free tv is full of product placement DURING the shows (Birch Gold, survivalist meals, prescription drugs with prescriptions from an online bot, etc.), but then to go to Roku's pukey Weird Al and Martha Stewart ads...that's too much and I've uninstalled Roku from my Fire TV Cube...PERMANENTLY.  As bad as Pluto TV is, tech-wise, it doesn't require an airline barf bag every 5 minutes!!!

Weird Al was tiresome back at the very height of his popularity…and the Commercial Appeal for his sophomoric humor has long since passed. 
Worse….is having to listen to month after month of a completely obnoxious/tone dead…not deaf…but tone dead-monotone recitation of songs from other artists.

PLEASE end the Weird Al Commercials.
