Unpatriotic Screensaver and Company

You force commercial screen savers on us of no value but you won't put one up celebrating the birth of our nation? And don't tell me I can load my own.

You should be ashamed.qhGPDUl.jpg

I believe you are referring to the themes. Roku does push seasonal themes, as well as the occasional commercial tie-in theme. You can prevent those from a setting with the menu system. Check for that.

Screen savers are not normally pushed, except in combination with themes. Turning off seasonal themes would stop associated screen saver changes as well. There are several hundred screen savers available, including many patriotic ones. The quality of those varies.

As for not doing a seasonal theme for Independence Day, I too am disappointed that Roku overlooked that.

I’m not disappointed that much because some people, for whatever reason, think that wallpapers change themselves when the regular wallpaper is changed to a special one.

I’m into videotapes and old electronics stuff, including extenders, converters and analog 4:3 TV sets (which are obsolete these days), and Miss Bianca is my favorite character in Disney’s The Rescuers (1977) and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under (1990). I am not a Roku employee, only a user like you. ~ Jordan
