I love watching Pluto TV. I love watching Ed Sullivan show. I didn't grow up, when his show was on. The only thing, that I don't like, is the commercials. But, when you are getting it free,you can't complain.

[@donitamilitano8183]

I love when you interact and tell stories. I'm a southerner (Alabama) now living in Illinois and your interactions and stories make the homesickness a little easier to deal with. Love your recipes as well, keep up the great content!!!

[@RealFauxMolder]

I vote for Haystack News. Would be better with fewer ads, though. It has local, regional, national, and international news stories (and some live), with a bit less opinion & bias than you see on MSM. Haystack is also available as a Samsung smart app and on Apple TV, among other platforms.

[@schadlarry]

Finally a Hoopla/Kanopy mention. Also your libary has a good selection of DVD's. Handbrake the good ones.

[@lindawhitaker4126]

Faith and Family is my favorite!! Only $4.99 a month and well worth it!

[@williamlandskroener5405]

One channel I discovered is Movieland TV movie channel. Many older movies, just watched The Born Losers (the first Billy Jack)

[@sjbock]

Hoopla is great. I've been using it for about 4 years. My city doesn't have a big budget so the library can only afford to give us 5 checkouts per month. About every other month Hoopla has something they call "Bonus Borrows" where they have a different large list of movies, tv shows, books, music, etc. you can check out without it counting toward your monthly limit. There is no limit on the number of Bonus Borrows you can have for that month. Bonus Borrows are different from Hoopla's Binge Passes which are available every month for certain items and allow you to stream multiple things using just one of your borrows. Binge Pass items seem geared mainly toward children's programming.

[@GrammaTilla]

Thanks to your new video, I've added 6 to my list to view. And, . . and "Kids and Family" on the FREE Roku Channel for my 20+-year-old birds. At the moment they are loving the colorful "Barney and Friends". BUT, we need some FREE cartoon services for our men who have never grown up. Hint, hint. 😃

[@JeriHarlan]

I want to cancel my dish network. Thinking about it t getting a Roku. But I want the option of recording movies and local tv shows like I can with dishes Dvr. Is this possible with Roku?

[@jeffwebb8306]

Another really interesting video

[@erichamradio919]

Great episode. I love FRNDLY TV too. They have even added another movie only channel recently.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I like Frndly too because you can record tv shows

[@iofthetiger67]

But they're expensive

[@robertsilver2211]

You should let your viewers know about.. Channels DVR and Playon

[@robertsilver2211]

@Don Coyote ok.. Sorry

[@Jeffrey125s]

On a side note, If anyone has a Mini Van or vehicle with VES “Dvd package and has an Hdmi connection built in somewhere, a Roku will connect and works through the vehicle’s built in VES system. A hotspot is all you need and you have live tv, streaming on the go!

[@lollycat707]

Friendly TV also has a dvr option to record your cab shows.

[@amyzzerkle2009]

NHK is a an amazing ad free global network , lots of documentaries, medical frontier news , lifestyle , sumo and more

[@michaelmcchesney6645]

Not every library makes Hoopla and Kanopy available to their patrons. That's because the libraries have to pay for the service. I live in NYC and have a New York Public Library card. The NYPL used to offer Kanopy, but apparently it was too expensive for their budget. Now the NYPL doesn't offer either service. My sister lives about 40 minutes outside NYC. Her local library offers both. Someone less ethical than I am would probably ask to borrow their sister's library card. Would someone exactly as ethical as I am ask to borrow her card? The world may never know. Unrelated to that question, I highly recommend both services, if they are available from your local library (or the local library of someone you know).

[@robstar1a]

You can get a library card from Queen Library. They have Kanopy.

[@chalabrooks5433]

Sorry to hear that. It might have been popular there and many used it also. Not sure. I wish Hoopla and Kanopy offered other options for your situation.

[@michaelmcchesney6645]

@@chalabrooks5433 My situation isn't bad, at least not as far as access to Kanopy and Hoopla. I never claimed to be all that ethical. ;-)

[@DOLfirst]

Would someone as ethical as I ask your sister if I may borrow her library card? 😬

[@dlight2669]

I've moved around a few times.2 libraries allow me to keep membership as a lifelong member. some libraries do, check into it.

[@1Mhoram9]

I now have a Google tv and it’s ok but I greatly prefer my other tvs with Roku.

[@zaracyn]

Pluto is a good one

[@deniseg8312]

I love the Court TV channel. Live court room trials. And on demand of previous trials.

[@marcsonnenberg623]

Not on this topic, but I would like to see a video analyzing Android TV's. What they do, and which ones are better.

[@dlight2669]

Weather TV is 75% West Coast and Northwest coverage. On the hour coverage of the nation.. maybe two minutes, then they go into the Northeast for about 2 minutes. Occasionally go over Kentucky and Tennessee or Midwest. completely gloss over the Mid-Atlantic or give that 1 minute, then go down to Florida and give them about 5 minutes, and then switch right back down to the West Coast again and stay focused on that for the rest of the time until the next hour report. For some reason they are constantly in California, Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Yes that's why I prefer the local Fox station news and the Local Now.

[@johncoy5912]

Local via Antenna. Along with Roku . Good

[@bobblanchard9041]

Added Philo for $ 25 and got everything we like. great.On Frontier fiber.

[@mikeythewarriormtw5140]

I might be late to finding it because I hardly use it but Vudu has free stuff in the app.

[@anitaharris9217]

What is a good antenna? I live in an basement apartment, & It hard to get reception I think because it's a balcony over my window.

[@rjonzun5828]

If you can mount one outdoors the Clearstream consistently gets good reviews. But the higher it's mounted the better

[@ladybassplayer23]

Thanks

[@yumpinyiminy963]

Question for anyone: I've been using my Roku Stick for a couple of years now. Other than a few odd things (like losing passwords and the remote eating batteries) it's been great. Now all of a sudden I'm getting the overheating warning and it's getting worse. It's in the same open air area as it has always been. Is this a software update issue? I did replace the TV from a Visio to a LG. If that is an issue now than it is a poor design by Roku. Any opinions are welcome.

[@Pugmom76]

Could you possibly tell me why after I add an app it won't open??

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I don't understand why ROKU says they are coming out with OS 12 but it takes so long to come out?

[@johncoy5912]

Please do a video on ATSC 3.0

Having issues with narrative...saying wifi info and volume...I've tried settings, accessibility, enabled, disabled, nothing working.

[@patrickmartin4996]

Another great news channel like News On is VUIT TV. Another channel covering many smaller markets that News On does not have.

[@loulopez554]

Here in the bay area Tubi gives us our local Fox news channel.

[@johncoy5912]

FRNDLY Has sub channels no broadcast national feed locals .

[@StanCaniglia-po5yr]

Would like to have RFD Channel

[@trickn2819]

You know if ROKU would let VLC on my TV access the files on my PC I could throw away my nVidia Pro.

[@joycechenette5184]

If you have a smart tv, is it worth getting a roku

[@Pugmom76]

I think it is. I can't download any of these on my smart TV

@@TechmanComputer I got a Roku device and my daughter got a Fire TV Stick. She used her Fire Stick for several years but has replace it on her main TV with a Roku because she liked the channels she could get on the Roku better. But like anything, it all comes down to personal preference.
