I just cut the cord on Tuesday and I may well sign up for something like Roku. I’ll look forward to replies here.

You don’t sign up for ROKU. You either buy a TV with it installed or get an after market box for about $30.00.

Then you “Program” it to hold the streaming channels you want. There are dozens of free ones and others like Amazon Prime that require a monthly subscription. You can also use the ROKU to watch Youtube/Rumble videos.

Roku is simply the first streaming platform anyone should consider.

Everything works on it.

Even better is to get a TV with Roku built-in.

Get the newer, faster Roku device, when choosing.

The voice input is quite good. You can ask Roku, through the remote, about a show, and it combs through various apps some you don’t even have installed, telling you which are free and which require a subscription. It’s not an exhaustive scan, but is helpful.

It all just works and the image is great.

It’s interesting. Our cable TV provider is the same as the internet provider. They increased the cable TV price to unreal prices….like $120/month. I assume they are trying to get out of the cable TV business. Probably too hard to compete with YouTube TV and the others.

We went with Amazon Firesticks including on our web enabled TVs since a lot of the free apps aren’t built for all the web enabled TVs but they are for the Firestick. We subscribe to YouTubeTV & Frndly for the History Channel. Watch a lot of FreeTV and Tubi. We also have Amazon Prime but rarely use it for movies or shows.
