A setting to hide all tv-MA shows from The Roku Channel app

I would like a Parental Control setting in The Roku Channel app to hide all thumbnails for selected MPAA ratings like tv-MA (but for me also Rated R and tv-16). I know some shows are not rated (UR), so you could let us decide if we want to filter out UR (unrated) or not.

BTW I’m okay with you defaulting The Roku Channel to everything showing up, but just give us the option to chose to filter out content ratings we find inappropriate for our particular families.

Re: A setting to hide all tv-MA shows from The Roku Channel app

PS. I was on an Air Canada flight just this weekend and they allowed me to hide all Movies in the in-flight entertainment either by R and above, PG-13 and above, or PG and above.

It worked great. I personally chose to hide everything PG-13 and above and was left with several PG and G rated titles to chose from. After selecting it, it hid all other movies. And instead of frustratingly searching and searching and searching for something to find I ended up watching 3 good quality PG rated movies on the long flight from Dublin to Vancouver: Jersey, Leap Year, and Gallipoli. And I had several others flagged to watch after that like: Martian Child, Temple Grandin, and Chariots of Fire.  

Imagine that! Less time being frustrated, and more time watching movies! Is that too much to ask for Roku?
