I've used some of the apps. After watching this, I feel like I barely dipped my toe into what's available. Thank you for this video. I'll get a lot more to watch. I cut the cord over 5 years ago. I only missed a few shows I was hooked on, but quickly found things to replace it. Add the antenna, we have, content and a tivo and it's more than I could watch.

I literally just got Roku yesterday, as suggested from some friends and your video was very helpful with the app navigation...I LOVE ROKU!! Cable is out the door!!! Thank you!!

[scottbenson]

I just bought a Roku tv and love all the channels and apps you get with Roku. I’m able to watch tv shows that I haven’t been able to watch in years now

[SunShine]

Oh WOW! THANK YOU so much for all of this great info! I just got ROKU, set it up onlyva few wks ago and I had no idea it has so very much more to it than meets the eye. You have made my life so much easier by explaining ROKU this way. I will share your channel with the friends who recommended I buy ROKU AS I'm sure they will also appreciate all the info.

❤ thank you so much. I stumbled upon your video. 8m liking my decision to get my Roku TV next week and divorce my cable company ❤ thank for the very clear descriptions. I'm saving this video to watch again and again as I get my TV to set up.

I just got my Roku about a week ago and this is very helpful! I cut the cord and I’m saving myself over $100 a month from cable.

I love my roku. I have all of those apps, plus more. I agree the roku is a better setup than fire stick.
I also have an antenna to get local channels. I do not pay for cable tv!

[marykjones]

Thanks! I received a Roku stick for Christmas but have yet to use it. Your show took away the intimidation I faced. I wrote those down and already have selected my first choices.

[janiceleesa]

I absolutely love your channel! You provide such useful info for us wannabe cord cutters. Concise but clear and plentiful. You-the-man!

[charlesjohnston]

I've had my Roku for months but had no idea about all this content! Thanks for putting it out there.

[stevenblakesley]

The free content on the Roku Channel is incredible. I was always a Pluto believer but Roku Channel has stepped up big time

[GolDreadLocks]

This is THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE info about Roku channels that I have found, so far!
You answered most of my questions as a brand new Roku user!
Thank you!!

[MundaneGray]

This is very helpful and informative video. I was vaguely aware of most of these apps, but I didn't understand what they were or how they worked. You have educated me. I'm particularly interested in giving Plex a try. Thank you.

But I have one complaint. Please stop saying, at the beginning of EVERY segment, that you're not going to spend a lot of time on it. It's unnecessary, and the repetition becomes irritating. Just spend the amount of time you want to spend on each topic. Don't worry about whether a few viewers might get impatient. They can use the fast forward button if they need to.

It's great to have Roku built into your TV. The remote is simple and you don't have to fumble with switching HDMI inputs.

[susane]

Thank you so much! New to streaming (last week) and this was so helpful. Why did we hesitate to stream for so long?? This is terrific.

[crystalamason]

Thank you so much!! Im just now really trying to cut the cable cord and this has helped immensely.

[stowie]

Brand new to Roku so this is extremely valuable to me. Thanks for all the information and I’m sure I’ll be back to watch it again…and yes, I subscribed!

[davidclark]

I had my Roku for 4 years and have no complaints

Great list of apps 🙂. Choosing which Roku player to get is just as tricky imo. I ended up with the 4k Roku Ultra. It has a USB 3.0 port on the back, which allows me to play local media on my USB C monitor from my flash drive, and it's the only one that has a case for it to. So I can literally just stick it to the back of my portable monitor, and carry it with me wherever I go. It's basically like having a TV you can throw in a bookbag and take with you where you go lol.

Very informative video on Roku. On Black Friday, I signed up for Peacock, 99 cents a month, for 12 months.
