Block channels? Such as Netflix? Hulu? Roku Channel? Can you elaborate please. You can prevent channels from being installed by adding a PIN to your Roku account

Re: WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO BLOCK TV CHANNELS

Thank you Ello2022 for the reply. I would like to block all tv channels.  The guys need to pay very close attention to what they are doing so no-one gets maimed.  With just music they do pay attention.  But when someone turns on tv they tend to watch that and not pay attention. So with only the music channel playing I believe they tend to pay closer attention to what they are supposed to be doing

Re: WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO BLOCK TV CHANNELS

@bu-gs  I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. There are no TV channels on a Roku. Can you please explain in full detail what you’re trying to accomplish and how you want to accomplish it. Exactly what are these TV channels? And how are you watching them?

Are you trying to use TV as a radio? 

Wow.

Buy a radio or a internet streaming radio instead, or stick some opaque plastic on the screen if you just want audio from TV with no video.

Also, don't install TV in moving vehicle where driver can see it, if that's your problem. Dangerous and likely unlawful.

@bu-gs  It would be helpful if you could actually explain in full details exactly what you are trying to block. Roku uses channels. Some call them apps but Roku calls them channels. Such as Netflix and Hulu are channels. What channels are you trying to block. We can’t decipher things for you
