One has to be wary though.

I use a Amazon FireTV Stick. I use the Playstation Vue app, which has a LOT of stations.

Last night watching the Walking Dead was painful. The app kept freezing because their servers were getting pounded by the amount of people streaming.

I don’t care if you have a 100MB/S connection you’re going to hang.

In situations like that there is no replacement for cable TV and I’m seriously considering going back to it.

Or cCloudTV on Kodi (PC, Android, XBox, Linux, etc, etc, etc, etc...) You can buy a box on Amazon that uses it for under $35, add another $15 for a wireless keyboard and touch pad or air-mouse.

Lots of old time radio shows too. The old radio show “Suspense” has its own app and all episodes play continuously. The Conservative TV app has 4 different Old Time Radio channels which play episodes of radio shows that aired on that day of the month in whatever year from the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Normally they announce before a show “This episode of “whatever show it is” aired October 24th 1948, 68 years ago today...”Also, with the tunin.com app on Roku there are many other.

Also on Roku is America One News Network

XTV is a “private channel” so to add it you log into your account, go to “add a channel” under “manage account” and enter the private channel code (XTVIPTV).

XTV or X-TV is ‘not a associated with a valid channel’ when I try to add it to my account. Is it still available?

How do you ‘install’ it?

is it one of the selections from your ROKU menu on the TV?

Or on your computer?

Faux News had a chance to be the first to embrace News Streaming.
They decided to follow the rest.
If Breitbart News moves to Roku, it will be the end of Faux.

My playstation III is finally starting to flake out. I use it for dvds and Netflix. What is a good replacement? I hear Playstation IV requires a pay subscription to access Netflix. I like the Playstation Blue Ray player, you can play movies at 1.5 speed, (good for educational/study videos). I don’t like that I can’t get a universal remote for PS III, tv, and sound system. PS III is odd man out.

Gotta say I am very impressed. Hundreds of well known (basic) cable channels including Fox Snooze, ESPN, TBS, TNT and much more. There are live channels, on demand channels, Westerns, kids channels, Sci-fi, etc, and a multitude of channels playing classic TV 24/7.

If you have Roku you should add this. Private channel code for XTV is XTVIPTV

Thanks! Just added it!

To bad some of the old shows can’t do 16:9, but WTH, it’s free!

Thanks for sharing this new channel. I had to go to:

Settings > System > System Update > Check Now

on my Roku, in order to get the channel to show up on the Home menu. There's 38 UK channels in the live section, which makes it definitely worthwhile for me.

Find more shows for ROKU.
Many many more channels at the Channel store: https://channelstore.roku.com/browse
No need to pay for most of these shows.

We got a roku for mom’s vacation home on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. The older ladies couldn’t handle it, internet up there is so slow. It fully depends on your internet connection.
