Some 20 million less people watching since 2015
10 million in the last 2 years!

Roku lists thousands of channels.
I have a Roku Ultra box to display program apps that are installed from Roku.

Roku requires you to have an account. Once logged in using your computer.
Click on the + Add channel of the app you want.
Roku communicates with the Roku box.
Your log in for the sites like Youtube & Tubi tv etc. one time.
Easier to do this on a computer at their websites. You can hookup a keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on the pc as well. Using the Roku remote to log in is slow.

To see the new channels on the Roku device:
Using the Roku remote you press the OK button then use the arrow buttons to go to Settings then System then Software Update and then Check now. Press the OK button. Any issues in the future you do this and also System restart.
Under Accessibilty you turn off Captions mode. It turns itself on sometimes.

To arrange the apps you highlight one by using the arrow button then press the * button. You will see options like Move channel and select. Press ok and now use the arrow buttons to move the tile around to where you want it. Press the * again to lock in place.

I have these FREE apps:

Pluto tv app - layout is easy to find tv and movie shows.
Youtube - on your pc go to youtube and find channels you like and Subscribe. They showup on the Youtube app. Need Youtube a log in account like a gmail account or seperate one if you like.

Tubi tv <- needs better layout. Has many of those shows that did not make 100 episodes so not on regular tv anymore. Need log in account.

I have many more but they do not have the programs I look at regularly.

Pay apps:
Prime Video - this is Amazon Prime tv and movies. I have Prime $139 as I buy too much thru Amazon....
Current Amazon Prime membership pricing:
$14.99 per month
$139 per year
Prime Video membership is $8.99 per month

Sling tv. I pay $42 a month for what is cable and many more channels
If they raise the price again I may just drop it. I started out at $25 a month and the last few years they raised the price and it is becoming like cable tv pricing.
