This is actually the 2nd time they've done this on a series of VizioTV's the latest debacle is infuriating because I have $3000 worth of prime video that I stream in one of my vacation rentals so I will have to buy 3 roku's.

the thing I don't like about roku's in a rental is they can change all of your settings add apps . You can't keep them from downloading apps or logging out of your Netflix for example in using theirs then once they leave other guests can't use Netflix because it's signed out of your account what a snafu.

Plus Amazon is in A-war with YouTube and you can't even have that app with prime..

No one cares about clients anymore it's all about stockholders in the money
