Anyone Here Only Use ROKU?

[bravoactual]

I gave up on cable and now have ROKU.

The problem being I cannot get past the subscriber fire wall on FX.

Any suggestions?

You have to subscribe don't you? Btw I recommend getting the roku app for your phone so you can use the keyboard on your phone to search.

I use Roku mostly. Netflix, Amazon Prime and SlingTV creates an excellent alternative to cable.

I initially signed up for SlingTV and thought I'd run it through my HTPC, but it sucked, nearly ditched it until I tried it through the Roku. Still takes some time to get used to the quirks, but the wife and I use it a lot now. They seem to be improving daily.

Netflix is our next favorite. Love the series they run

OTA antenna has been great for local news and sports.

Overall, Roku/sling has made being a none cable subscriber pretty darn easy.

Looking forward to more sling like services popping up.

I have a Roku stick and a Android box with Kodi. The Roku is wifi and does HD like right now. But I am on an optical service, although the slowest high speed.

I watch a lot of sling. Next is Netflix. Both make Roku worthwhile.

What is sling?

I have been thking about getting a roku but haven't yet. I keep the cable because I love watching some tv shows like Game of Thrones, Survivor, etc...and Netflix does not have them. I wish HBO had not dumped Netfix.

Sling is a streaming service. They carry TNT, AMC, A&E and other channels. Pretty good service.

How much is it per month?

I wish I could dump 200 channels and just get the ones I watch.

For the basic 21 channels its $20.00. HBO is offered as an add on for $15 a month. No contracts, month to month. For survivor, if possible, a decent TV antenna can be bought for 35.

Hope this helps.

SlingTV does a one week free deal.

Sling TV cost $20.00 a month or about a buck a channel. Roku offers a lot streaming services, some for pay, some for free. Hulu is great service with all different channels and shows. Acorn is great if you fan of the British Mystery TV.

Just remember there can be a bit of a learning curve with Roku, mainly when moving through channel selections. In the long run it is a good deal.

Look on Craigslist for a used Roku, bought a second one for the basement for $5.00 off of CL. A friend of mine got a newer version at Goodwill for $8.

Roku can either be plugged in to your computer via HDMI or you can use WiFi.

I much prefer RoKu over cable and would never go back.

SlingTV now has Video on Demand. Pretty limited content on some of the channels but this could be a game changer.

Go to the string menu. Pick a channel and arrow up. The on demand shows will show up on the bottom.

Thanks, I could not for the life of me figure the on demand. Missed Hell On Wheels.
