My daughter gave me a Roku stick a couple years ago. I’m unable to use it because it’s so complicated. I’m 82 years old and not into electronics! I barely can operate my cable Tv clicker. I wished your video showed more step by step on how to rather than cover all the shows and channels that’s available. Us old people need a step by step guide, Starting at which button to press first, then what to do next. The instruction booklet that come with the Roku stick was not helpful. Please help us old folks!

I use mainly Philo, but I also have FrndlyTV, that I use a lot, and it is very good for people who like retro tv. It's highest tier is $10.99, which included cloud dvr that keeps your recordings for 9 month. They have a tier with cloud dvr that retains them for 3 months. That combined with Philo and my indoor antenna gives me most of what I watch live.

I'm in the suburbs of New York city and I have an indoor antenna and we get 75 channels. I also have ' Pluto TV ' and ' Tubi TV ' which are free. I added Hulu with the one year trial for $1,99 a month at the end of year its $6.99 . I added ' Disney +' with offer from Hulu for.$3.99 a month. Now if I only had enough time to watch every show I like I'd be in heaven. BTW with the antenna I get all mayor Networks and PBS. I stopped paying for cable 4 years ago ($138,00 a month ) I have paid all my debts and have a savings for vacation. Best thing I ever did cut the cable. Edited 20 May 2023 : As of this day I get 84 channels over the air.

I got an LG WebOS smart TV. It has LG channels built into it. It has probably 300 channels at least on it. You have to have internet in order to watch them unfortunately. I have Pluto TV,XUMO,PLEX, and Distro TV apps installed as well as a TV antenna. All together I say I'm shooting at at least 550 channels all together that I'm getting. I could install Peacock and the Xfinity TV stream app but those require a subscription service to receive them because Peacock here is only available through Comcast cable ( other places it is not). Off the antenna I receive 23 channels. I got quite a variety of channels. Music,sports,movies, shopping and more. I even get premium movie channels. Showtime,HBO,Cinemax and Starz. Coming soon they're adding Epix to LG channels. So another movie channel being added.

Good info. However by the time you pay for multiple streaming channels to get all the different programing you want the cost is just as much as cable or satellite. Each streaming service is increasing in price and almost all require a monthly fee that quickly add up to hundreds of dollars a year. Not really a savings.

@jleechadwick 2 жыл бұрын

Then cable TV must be very cheap where you live, unless you have a promotional price. I cancelled cable in 2018, and I was paying over $100 for the lowest level that would qualify me for a TV/Internet bundle (TV Select with Spectrum). With Philo, FrndlyTV, and 4 channels that I subscribe to on Prime Video, I pay just over $60 for streaming services. As I said, back in 2018, I paid Spectrum over $100/month on TV alone, and it was their cheapest bundle tier. Spectrum has raised their prices more than 4 times, so I don't know what it would cost now. I will never subscribe to cable tv again.

Go to United Network Plus. For $17 or $18 us, you have a ton of stuff to watch and all for free and that includes Netflix, Disney and tons of other stuff supposedly. I have it but didn't have a means t watch it on the TV till now. Haven't installed it on my Roku yet since I just got Roku recently. I haven't used the service yet since I had trouble logging into it but since figured it out. Still haven't used it. Too busy watching YT videos. Keep in mind, their customer support is useless. They never responded to my problems. Now I know they have changed things over there so maybe now it's different. I don't know. All I can suggest is give it a try and if it doesn't work for you, then just cancel it.

RE Over the Air Antennas.....please mention that ROKU TVs do not support NEXT GEN ATSC 3.O signals. The ROKU tuner at this point only does the standard 1.0 signal tuning. You have to get a 1.0 antenna without the NEXT GEN filtering. Also please explain that standard BlueRay boxes will not play the 4kUHD format. Thusly to use the ROKU 4k features you have to upgrade to a new BlueRay box and upgraded BlueRay discs. Thanks. Good video.

I like Roku. By the time you add up streaming services you want you don't save much money on your overall tv bill. Ringt now I pay $75 for Cox Contour Cable. I can record tons of shows that I watch with no extra cost. If I were to cut-the-cord so to speak and just use streaming services my bill would only be $25-$40 less and I'd be giving up the DVR recording feature. For me , I don't see the benefit of cutting the cord. I think one has to look at what they want to watch, not what's offered.

I would try a software update and check the internet connection. Good luck.

I haven't switched from cable yet. I'm still wondering what it will cost to get the channels I watch, which aren't many. Mainly Fox News, TBN, and a couple others. The cable company now has their own streaming box and I'm doing that until I learn more. I don't know what else to get. Everyone likes Roku but I still don't know how much it will cost per month and I don't want surprises or wasted time buying Roku if it doesn't get my regular channels.

Is there a way to go directly to a channel without have to scroll through the various channels. Will a universal remote work on roku?

No you have to use a roku remote. You also can favorite channels that way you can get to them quickly.

I am considering cutting the cord. I have Spectrum as my cable provider in Southern California. An option is to stream the Spectrum App which provides access to the same channels/shows I'd get with cable. The problem is that my Vizio smart tv's don't support the Spectrum App. Does the Roku allow downloading o the Spectrum App?

I can't answer your question, but...DO IT! Cut the cord! Why do you want the Spectrum app? There is so much to watch you'll forget all about Spectrum.

Yes, I just added the Spectrum app to my Roku a few days ago. Type “Spectrum TV” in the search bar.
