I originally had Roku for the same reason. The thing that made me leave is when they started pushing channels down to my Roku that I didn't request. The first time it happened I thought someone else in the family downloaded it, or maybe even I did by accident. Once it happened a few more times and I was able to determine they did this on purpose, I immediately dumped Roku and will never use their products again.

I had a NowTV branded Roku device and someone removed an app and forced an update removing the ability to side-load which had been the key differentiator I bought it for.
IMO it was unauthorised access under the Computer Misuse Act (UK).
Moved to FireTV installed same app from app store; not sure who was to blame but both companies are on my naughty list.
