I thought this seemed fishy. Not only the broadcast channels that were local to some markets, but then he started adding streaming channels that were free on other Roku apps - would not make sense that they would allow their product to be used on another app.

Oh well - most of the content was available on other apps for free, or accessible with an antenna.

Oh I see. He didn’t intend to violate copyright laws, he just did it anyhow.

The headline gave me a good scare. I thought the legitimate ROKU app was being shut down for a moment…
I finally got rid of Comcast for TV (still have them for Internet).
ROKU and SLING TV have everything I want, except for most Cubs games.

I have a computer in “DMZ mode” that I use to watch streaming services. The browsers have add blocking and malware protection. I don’t pay a nickel and get most stuff as soon as it streams anywhere.

Sometimes the service drops for an hour or so when the authorities mess with the links. Then it comes back running just fine.

We’ll see how long they can stay in operation....

F2V TV provided a great service of over the air broadcasts to we folks who can’t get a decent signal from the over the air (I live in a OTA hole. Sometimes I get a signal after 10pm or so). The main reason I used it was to watch Svengoolie on Me-TV, otherwise, I didn’t really care.

After this, I won’t be buying anything advertised on their channels. They weren’t losing any revenue from this service, and, they WERE getting advertising messages to people like me who they couldn’t reach before.

You can PAY for the free broadcasts via another app, but, I’ll just keep fighting my antenna from now on.

A thousand and one tv shows and movies.
