Feature Request: Auto sign-in to an app.

Hi!

   I'm enjoying my ROKU streaming stick.  But I do have one suggestion.  Would it be possible to allow me to select a specific app to start every time my ROKU connects?

   When ROKU connects, it displays all of the apps I have available.  I set up YouTube TV as the first app in the list because it is the one I most frequently use.  It would be great if there were a setting to say "Always start up this specific app whenever I sign in." and then let me choose one, in this case YouTube TV.

   This is, I guess, a feature request since I don't see this as an option yet.

I believe that's been requested many times in the past, but Roku has shown no interest.

Then we need to MAKE them care about customer requests.  KEEP ASKING!  CALL!  TWEET!  EMAIL!  POST!!! Keep asking that they begin allowing you to select an ap to start whenever ROKU connects.

It's extremely unlikely that they'll give you a way to bypass that ad on the main screen, but you can try.  🙂

Then display that ad for 5-10 seconds before opening the app.  I don't care.  I just don't like having to navigate to the app to open it every time.  ROKU, if you're listening, please respond.
