I enjoy having the ROKU channel on my fire stick and on my Samsung tv plus and I have a QUESTION about whether there is a way to select FAVORITE CHANNELS? When are that we have is the ALL CHANNELS only that’s a lot of uninteresting channels to have to scroll through all the time and I hope you know the procedure to manage Channels. Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

If you're looking for a specific movie, show, etc, do you have to open every different app/service like disney+, Hulu, etc to find it? Or can you search or speak into the remote the title and it finds it for you in the appropriate platform?

As a longtime cable subscriber ($200 avg bill per month) and Amazon Prime member (another $15 per month) I tried to cut the cord but with Firestick, I still have to pay for apps like Netflix, Showtime, Peacock, HBO Max, Live TV, etc. So the question is, how does a Firestick save money?

Your first mistake is not adding an IPTV. Then you can cancel cable and eliminate all those apps. We can help on Patreon. Also many free apps out there with all those services you mentioned.

If I just have Amazon Prime and a Fire TV Stick will I still have the same type of content? I assume Amazon Prime is considered a "streaming service. Thanks in advance.

I cannot believe roku stock is doing well. I have a roku TV and almost NEVER watch through roku. I get that their valuation and their profits are all advertising based, but Prime is SO much better Prime has better native content. The way things are laid out on roku screen is terrible and doesn;t even have the same quantity, much less the way it is organized. AND I hate that roku has an IR remote and needs line of sight. Such a pain!

@@CuriosityCafe yes, the do the 'razorblade style of marketing They give away a handle and the first few blades then make money off refills Roku Gave away the hardware to a dozen TV mfgrs (built in to the set) and try to make money off the advertising and selling data. But if no one uses it natively and most of us port over to apple TV or Amazon Fire, and then over to our app. they might not get the same revenue that they would if we viewed hulu or netflix or paramount, etc through roku. I jump from the built in to amazon, then to netflix, etc. But yeah, the money maker for fire tv, for apple tv, for roku is the ads and the DATA.
