Nowhere TV is great, but it isn’t new. It’s been on Roku for years.
The Red Green Show!
My local PBS station used to play these shows every Sat evening - I sure do miss them and the duct tape projects!!!
LOL Well, we just found it so it’s new to us. :-/ Face palm. Now returning to the corner...the red faced corner and will remain silent in the future.
Those who subscribed to X TV on Roku
Found there is work in progress to air, by state, local news. Notice appeared this AM
Anyone else have any quirky channel recommendations for Roku?
I basically only use it for Netflix or MLB.TV (Go Tribe) even though I have Amazon Prime I rarely use it. I also use the Plex Server app. One time I even watched a Trump Rally on the YouTube channel but mostly it’s underutilized I suppose. Even ESPN3 is rare since I watch Buckeye football first, and typical top 25 games 2nd. Rarely do I find myself dropping to the ESPN3 games. (Whatever that is called these days)
I live The Red Green Show
Yep. I use Nowhere TV on my Roku mainly to get Classic Arts Showcase, which I lost when I switched from DISH to DirecTV.
That’s OK, I’m just glad you mentioned that channel since I don’t think many people know about it. It’s a terrific repository of all sorts of hard to find programming. I love Roku. You can almost always find what you’re looking for somewhere on it.
I don’t have Roku yet, but we’re edging closer. Daughter has a membership, and we’ve latched onto hers occasionally.
X TV has some terrific movie channels, drama, horror, docs, And though it is not as easy to view as those channels in the ROKU store, it is certainly worth the effort.
We love our ROKU, too. It is right at the top, and nothing comes as close as this when remembering how life was once filled with the choice of viewing found on Big Dish Satellite before the influence of ....blankety blank government destroyed it. They will do to NFL what they did to BDS, and then move on rubbing their hands searching for their next project.
So many ‘folks’ are disheartened by the quality and cost of cable (when they can get it). ROKU is a GODsend.
I have an Amazon Fire Stick and want to buy a Roku, which one do you recommend?
We get a lot of local news from the States on Livestream, through Roku. Whenever something has been happening around the country we’ve been able to follow on a local station; and my husband always knows the weather in his home town ;-)
I can’t recommend any. We’ve the lower cost version and the more expensive have features I’m not familiar with. (Sorry for the botched sentence)
IIRC ours was in the range of $40 And though it is not ‘perfect’ especially when attempting to enter text, it does the job it is required to do.
Bkmrk.
Is Roku through a TV or computer. Never heard it before now but I am very interested but I only have a old laptop. So, if you have the time, please explain how it works and is it inexpensive?
