Roku is the king of free programming. I cut the cable a year ago, get 5 local channels OTA and a huge amount of free streaming services. I save over $100 a month and don't miss cable .
We are gonna make a full circle when it comes to cable lol. I paid around 230 for cable and internet. Then a few years back I decided to just stay with internet and remove cable. Internet now is around $120 but plus Disney, max, Hulu, paramount, peacock, Netflix I’m paying around $190 🤦♂️
I absolutely love my Roku stick! I found that if you do a search for something, it will tell you which app has it so you don’t have to search each app. My husband loves hunting shows and the hunting and fishing channels are great too.
Unfortunately the search dosent cover every app. For example I subscribe to one of the foreign TV services. A lot of times search will say its only available to by off Amazon or Apple TV. But it dosent mention its free on the foreign app.
The movie options in Roku channel are iffy. It used to be better we're talking just strictly the channels. On demand is probably better. Depends on what you want but looking at it and comparing it to Pluto TV... Pluto TV has done better content. What I think Roku excelled in the movie area is a lot of TV movies and also classic movie channels. But for some reason they lost the '70s channel they had when the channel rebranded. That's why Pluto TV is better because they got a '70s Channel. The classic movie channel is mostly from 30s to '60s. If they started adding '70s content I didn't notice. And I also don't know if the classic movie channels would ever do silent movies. I would venture to say they don't. But I like silent comedies.
TOO MANY ADS on freevee. I use freevee only as a referrence, when I find a show on freevee I want to watch, I use roku search to find it on a different channel with less ads.
Pluto is my go to app when I just wanna relax lol I don’t watch movies on it because I hate ads for movies but it has all the old shows I like to watch like threes company, mammas house and judge Judy to name a few
I just purchased and installed Roku 4K plus. I don’t know nothing about how to navigate this so I am appreciating your videos. Initially, I want to delete the programs that are coming up on my screen and replace them with some of the things that I prefer watching, but I don’t know how to add and subtract if you understand what I’m sayingto make what I want to watch part of my own home screen. Do you have a video for this. I know it’s pretty basic but this is all new to me and it’s not like the fire stick that I just removed.
does roku have more/different app and channel options than say chromecast or samsung tv? from what i can tell there are some minor differences between the later two, but i havent tried roku yet. also are the local 'live' news channels actually local live channels or some weird version of them?
No antenna needed. Just an HDMI cord to the tv (depending on the roku u have). Then the cord into an outlet. Set it up and ur good to go. You can look up the different rokus and how to set it up once u choose and buy one
Sometimes you can find the manuals online. Try to get the name of the tv and see if you can get the toll free number to see if they have a PDF online. Especially a printable one
RUclips app is messed up on my Roku stick. And also PBS had the nerve to ask for $59 up front, so I moved that one off my tv. I really want the RUclips, but so many problems trying to get it to work.
You can get a new one for 20.00 no need to pay more if u can't/don't want to. I had extra money almost 2 weeks ago so i was able to buy a new smart tv (Gave my son mine bc his broke) but you don't need to that. Just get the 20.00 one when u can.
I really like the free features on ROKU... great so far.... one thing that is a problem. Not sure if it's just me or my laptop cpu.... I plugged in a HDMI cable to the tv/laptop. The ROKU tv is brand new...not outdated. The laptop is older but, I went to the control panel and went to settings.... trying to use the ROKU tv as a secondary "big' screen for the laptop. The laptop see's the tv... it's on there as a secondary, and the mouse pointer can now go to the right and off the screen as most "dual" monitor setups work. The ROKU tv does not work with it. why??? Why have a "computer" or HDMI channel (setting) on the TV.... just for playstations and xbox's?? I feel hacked.
Ok i dont understand why you have it free, the hack they give to renove ads doesnt work i am hopiing to find a way to get FREE. Roku or anything lol its not a good video just saying. Its not informative at all. You have ads. Roku doesn't even allow you to pay them for no ads! So freevee SUCKS!! That was the worst thing ever. I am disappointed that i have to unsubscribe from you because this is your OPINION not FACTS or how os this helpful unless your being paid to peomote Roku. I honestly dont care your pushing an agenda and I didn't ask you for your opinion. There is nothing ad free unless you PAY! I am so disappointed
Just say the video isn’t what you need. You won’t get free anything without ads or paying for it unless you’re doing it illegally or have DVDs. I have DVDs of my favorite shows and movies so I don’t have to pay for apps I refuse to pay for (I.e. Netflix). Do what works for you. Don’t get upset with him because this doesn’t work for you
I am in Germany ans used a Fire Stick and a Sky Stick, for a while but since I used my First Roku Streamingbar I use in My House only Roku Streambar and Roku Express they work so superb, that I use it for Years and I love the option to use Sky-Stick Remotes and Handy or Tablets as Remote for my Roku devices. Please excuse my bad English @@SteveDOES
@@michaelcrippen3733 or i heard get amazon cube stick whatever sideload get everything made new or old for the one time cost of the streaming device and roku sucks
I have noticed some of the free Roku apps that provide free entertainment will freeze in the middle of a movie, documentary, etc. Sometimes it will cause the Roku to reset itself and come back on to the main screen you see when you first turn it on for the day. Others, it will stay frozen and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. So beware of that. Some of the free options will ruin what you are watching by throwing ads every three minutes. I get that free needs to be supported somehow but every three minutes is a pain in the a**. Beware of that too.
@@sierragoodenough0713, Beware of those bundles. Starting out they are great price but In 6 months the price will go up and continue to go up every year. They are as bad as cable. 😢
I just bought the Roku Express package at Walgreen's for $29. I have a 2008 37" Toshiba flat panel and I'm truly amazed at how improved my TV picture is. I feel like I have a new TV. I'm slso enjoying the mirroring app for reading e-books and I can also have my RUclips premium music account transferred to my tv and of course it has much better sound than my smart phone. I'm very happy with my new set up.
@SteveDOES I'm unable to get FOX NEWS CHANNEL LIVE. Multiple ppl tell me I can. I have followed the info. All i get is highlights that FNC allows. I have ROKU LE. Needs cable to get the FNC LIVE...What's up with that? How can I get help? CNN, MSNBC, OAN, FOX LIVE NOW. But no FNC.
I have a handicapped woman that I care for and I just got her a Roku tv and the internet. Is there any channel that basiclly has religious content? She watches tubi at the moment, but is there any specific ones I can go to to set up programs for her?
Film rise faith is free. U can look into: the Christian movie channel, redeem tv. The last two I've never tried but you,can also look into creating her a watch list or two on RUclips. Now, if she has the budger, maybe hallmark movies now, hallmark tv, and/or UP faith and family. My mom used to love hallmark movies. she can look thru tubi for faith based movies I believe . it has ads too but its free
I have a question. I have a roku 2. It's about 9 or 10yrs old. I have been experiencing issue over the last 6 months, and it's worse now. I have to restart daily, or it skips, bad. When I watch RUclips, and I pause or attempt to fast forward, it will skip bad and take a few seconds to stop. Do these wear out, and should I purchase a new unit? Nothing I do or have read has fixed it. Thanks..
When my Roku starts skipping I always unplug the TV (in your case, should be your device) and leave it off for about 10 minutes. Then plug it again. When I remember, I leave it off electricity overnight, at least once a week.
Yeah, 9-10 years old is out of date unfortunately in tech time. I had to replace one of my Rokus about 4or so years ago. There were a lot of issues too. Like you, bought a new one and problem solved 🤭
Vhs movies doesn't have to be updated at all everything proven people people keep there mode switch clean out like they should people will never have playing problem's at all with there VCR players everything proven online
No, but you will need a tv that has at least 1 HDMI port. Any TV made since 2000 should be compatible. As long as it’s not super old, you will be fine. An HDMI port looks like a funky trapezoid.

Personally, I find the Amazon Fire TV devices to be a lot more versatile. Not only can you install all of the apps available for Roku, you can sideload pretty much any compatible Android APP. If someone is looking for the largest library of Movie / TV Shows / Live TV apps, then Firestick /Fire TV is light years ahead of the Roku devices IMO.
I believe that is due to the fact that the topic of content is “the top 10 Roku free channels”. There would also be assistance on Firestick if needed. This however is Roku. Best if luck! 🍀
Thanks for checking out this video. I hope it helped you save money!

Now, the tv itself may need an antenna if he wants to watch regular tv. Just read the instructions or look up ur tv online
