Question

Monty · Accepted Answer

Plug the Roku into the connector on your TV(antenna connection) Ignore the cable box. DO NOT cancel cable until you decide if Roku is what you want.
Run the setup on Roku (it will prompt you) We have over 65 channels to pick from-- watch out --some channels charge a fee! Good luck!
P.S. You have to change the input to the HDMI connection that you're going to use. Look for the input button on Your TV remote . It's an easy setup, really.
I am 72 yrs old---if I can do it -you can!

Yes you can. To get local channels I pay for one and the others I use a $4.50 antenna. My monthly bill is $33 for Wi-Fi and almost $14.00/month for a local subscription and Hulu.

If you have Comcast, you can download the xfjnity stream app to your Roku and use that app to watch tv. I would add favorites though.

I use Roku for Netflix,. Amazon Prime movies and several other free channels. You can sign into Kanopy which links to your local library. It's free and they have loads of movies. Library card needed. If you have wifi you can connect to Roku. Love it and am seriously considering getting rid of cable but would miss live news.

You can add the app of that Channel and then when you sign into the app just choose your TV provider and you can watch shows on that channel. If you cancel your cable service you will not be able to access the content on that channel

You can stream cable channels through services like Hulu, YouTube Live TV, Sling and others. They are usually less expensive than Cable or Satelite services. You will want to make sure that you get the channels with the stream service you choose. If you have a DVR with your cable service you will want to make sure you have that option with the streaming sevice you choose as well.
