Therokuchannel.roku.com has a rating of 2 stars from 1 review, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Therokuchannel.roku.com ranks 80th among Free Stuff sites.
Even though this channel is free, I don't think it's right that they employ this irritating gimmick to please their advertisers. Whether you're watching your favorite T.V. Show or a movie it will break for ads for approximately 2 minutes maybe twice or three times during the airing. That's understandable being a free service. But then, when showing the last commercial the screen freezes with that advertiser's commercial image, which lasts indefinitely. The only way to get back to the show or movie you were watching is to click out and click back in. When you do that, you get approximately 2 more minutes of commercials. Slick! Sometimes it only happens once, but there have been times that the cycle goes on for several more times before it gets back to show. One time I was watching a half-hour comedy and it cycled a total of five times (20 minutes)! I was NOT amused. If you can find the show or movie on any other channel I recommend doing that instead of watching it on The Roku Channel.

This is ALMOST one of my most favorite streaming services. Has great movies, retro T. V. shows, etc. Has the least obnoxious commericials of any of the free streaming services. However, it does NOT have close captioning! I'm not deaf, but hard of hearing and I need close captioning so I can tell what the characters are saying when they speak sotto voce. All the other services have CC. If I scroll down I see CC, but when I click it it always says "CC Off." I thought maybe it was like a toggle switch, but no matter how many times I click it it never gives me close captioning.
