Uplifting movies? What are those? Certainly not from Hollyweird.

Problem is that the channel is a mess to find film over movies and live tv which they do. Prefer the interface on Tubi TV or Netflix. I understand the right hates hollywood but I see films to getaway from politics.

We watch Frndly channel frequently as they have all the Hallmark channels on there. The dvr process for them is great and never have any issues. They also have Weather Channel on there and their price is great. I believe it is like $7 bucks a month.

With our combination of youtubetv and frndly and all the free roku stuff, we essentially have it all. Our local channels are also on youtubetv. We never have any issues viewing either via our wifi on two tv’s and direct ethernet on another tv.

I have Spectrum Silver (less Showtime and HBO), and added Starz Encore. With the loss of sports, I've been looking for more and more movies and have discovered it's the same old crap movies repeated over and over.
The biggest surprise was Turner Classic Movies. It's not only become a prime source for chic-flicks, I haven't seen a decent military movie there in months.
Hell, they even played Cool Hand Luke at 2:30 in the morning. I mean, WTF happened to them???
If we don't bring back sports soon, I'm going to go crazy.

I just started binging the Le Femme Nikita series from the late 90’s. I was surprised to find it on Roku for free.

Here’s a tip for anyone searching for a movie (particularly an older movie) on the Roku search feature: type the full name of the film.

Let’s use Captains Courageous (1937 version) as an example.

Enter “captains” and stop, and you’ll see “Captains Courageous (1937)”. Tab over to it and you’ll only see pay/subscription options.

But, type the full name “captains courageous” into the search bar, and you’ll see TWO listings on the right for the 1937 movie. One still has pay versions, but the second lists a bunch of free (ad supported) channels with the movie.

I don’t know where the channels came from, but Roku has a ton of these older movie channels. Some are dedicated to genres, others are dedicated to specific actors (there’s a Charles Coburn channel even).

If you like classic movies, there there’s a ton of content on these channels, but they can be hard to find in the channel search on Roku.

We’ve had a ROKU for years and years. We only use three or four channels. Your post gave me a sufficient kick in the butt to do some exploring.

I will not pay an additional subscription, but I ought to be looking around for more free stuff.

Thanks!

I guess I’m behind on technology, but why would I need ROKU to stream movies when I can just watch them on the computer or connect the computer to my TV?

Tried. To
Watch. A. Movie. Even. Shut off. Adblocker. But. When. Playing. The. Movie. Every. 10. Seconds. It. Would. Stop. And. Start. So. Thanks. But. No.

We got rid of cable about a month ago and bought a few Roku sticks. We pay for hulu live and frndly so combined there are actually very few channels that we no longer get. We’re saving about $40 a month now. It’s not much, but $40 is $40. I was amazed at all of the free stuff that is available We already had netflix and amazon prime so now I don’t have to fire up the xbox to watch them.

[Grimmy]

Just now added an app to my phone named Reelgood.

It’s an aggrigator. You select all the channels you normally receive, any subbed stuff like Netflix or whatever, and then it combines all the movies into one searchable app for you to go through.

Can even control your TV with the built in remote when playing from the device.

I couldn’t find the app on the Roku app list so went the phone method and its working fine.
