Roku TV Terms of Use

Security & Safeguards · Company practice

TV software and apps update automatically and you cannot disable those updates

Accepting these terms includes agreeing that software and apps on the TV may be updated automatically. The software-update section adds how this works in practice: the Roku TV OS will require updates from time to time and a content provider may update the channel app you use to reach its content; updates include bug fixes, interface or access improvements, security purposes and other changes that may add, change or remove features and functionality. They arrive automatically over the internet, often finish in the background, occasionally require a restart, and the document states outright that these updates cannot be disabled by you. Data charges may apply, and automatic updates are presented as necessary to keep the TV operating, functional and compatible with content providers and their services.

Updates include things like bug fixes, improvements to the user interface or how you access content, for security purposes, and other changes that may add, change, or remove certain features and functionality.

These updates happen automatically via the internet (data charges may apply) and are often completed in the background, which should not interfere with your use.

Security & Safeguards · Restriction or exception

You may not disable, bypass or interfere with TV security or access controls

The last prohibited act covers security plumbing: disabling, bypassing, circumventing or interfering with any security mechanism or access control measures. The wording is broad and unqualified - it is not limited to security the document names elsewhere, and it stands alongside the separate promise not to circumvent content-protection technologies.
