For what it is worth, I just spoke on the phone with a Time Warner Cable customer service representative about a half hour ago. The person told me TWC has not heard anything to date as to the TWC Roku app being discontinued or changed; in fact, I was told nothing will change in the foreseeeable future, so I have nothing to be concerned about at this time. The TWC representative also told me that one cannot believe everything one reads on the Internet.
BTW, the reason I am so concerned about losing my television reception is because I rely on the TV to get the news. I have great difficulty reading due to having had a bad accident in which I hit my head, hard, among other things (I consider myself very fortunate to have survived the accident) about ten years ago, and in fact I have problems seeing my television picture as well, despite wearing very strong eyeglasses. The mini channel guide on my Roku player has a very small font that I can hardly read from a distance; my television is about ten feet away from my easy chair, so the guide and any other letters, writing, etc. on the screen are ordinarily so small I cannot read them without squinting.
I am 60 years old and do not expect this situation to change any time soon; in fact, as I age, it will almost certainly get worse. My hearing is also quite bad; I am almost deaf in my right ear and cannot hear high frequency sounds in my left ear, so hearing and understanding female voices on TV is very difficult for me; I also cannot hear my stereo system normally through headphones (I had to set it so that it plays monophonically, even on stereo FM radio and CDs).
Please do not criticize me or second-guess me on any of what I just wrote. I am definitely not making any of this up; the problems I mentioned are the result of a brain injury I sustained when I was born, so I have been living with them all my life and will have them the rest of my life. I don't see you criticizing VK members such as Captainclock (Eli) in Elkhart, Indiana, who has far more severe problems (autism, et al.) than I do, so why on earth are you picking on me?
It is not polite to ignore or make fun of a person's disabilities. How would you feel if you were in my position and all people did was make fun of you? I had to put up with just this type of behavior for years from the kids I grew up with in my old neighborhood near Cleveland; in fact, there was one girl who lived down the road from me, who, every time she would see me, would point at me and chant, over and over again, "M. R.! M. R.! M. R.!" M. R. stands for "mentally retarded," which I definitely was not then and am not now, and the constant mocking of my affiliction hurt my feelings badly.
