Ala Carte is where it is at. Many many FREE shows to watch.
You need a pc to get the apps easily.
I use a ROKU box that is plugged into my tv set. I have a network cable from there that goes back to my Motorola MG8702 cable modem/router. You can buy a router separately if you cable modem does not include one. ROKU box I have https://www.roku.com/products/roku-ultra
I have been watching the FREE Pluto tv channel using the ROKU app plus you can watch on the pc or your tablet or cell phone. They have every older show from 1950’s to maybe 10 years ago. https://pluto.tv/en/live-tv/johnny-carson-tv
Any app you get for ROKU you just go to ROKU settings and System and do an update and the new app icon will show up on the Home screen. You can also group the channels in the order you want.
I pay for Sling tv at $42 a month. You get all of cable and more. I also have Amazons ‘prime video’ as I use Amazon to buy lots of stuff.
I watch quite a bit of Youtube using their app as you can use your pc to quickly find channels you like and click on the subscribe button. Subscribe then go back into the ROKU and click on the Youtube app. If you have any issues with Youtube opening then go to the settings and update and the Youtube app will open.
I use a over the air tv antenna like MOHU and get many extra channels. Check out your area: https://www.tvpassport.com/tv-listings
A quick way to get the apps is to go to google and do a search or you can go to Roku and they will list the more popular ones up front. There are thousands to choose from!
