Guess what...it seems some networks are blocking the shows in their own apps:

NBC App = Manifest = Locked (NBC website seems to work fine)

OK so that show seems to have been unlocked. Other shows still locked with a 8 day waiting period. I guess I will need to dust off the DVR.

People actually still watch shows on broadcast television?

Roku is a piece of hardware, not software.
What program are you using through your roku? Netflix, amazon prime, PBS, etc...???

^^ OP's post is why support people go on killing sprees. So to counter OPs post I'll state, nothing is blocked on my Roku.

Some shows I can watch on the computer with a web browser but they are locked on the Roku.

CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox all act like they are cable channels even though they broadcast OTA.
