ROKU and movies. [View all]

There must be MILLIONS of free movies on ROKU channels.
Many with NO commercials (YOUTUBE).
We cut the cable a month ago.
Our phone/DSL/DIsh bill went from $195 to $35.

I paid $R30 for the ROKU stick, one time payment period.
I pay $40/mo for YOUTUBE TV (not to be confused with free YOUTUBE).
For that I get local channels hometown (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc.) and MSNBC, CNN, CNBC and more.
Still get AMC, TCM, Bravo, FX, FXX, SYFY, all the channels I liked on Dish.
No brainer.

Yep. We did the same in January. Added YTTV's Showtime package for $7 a month. stopbush Mar 2019 #1

I don't have a TV. Can a Roku stick be used with a computer? PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2019 #3

I don't know. Check their website. trof Mar 2019 #5
