I don't want to watch "TV" on my laptop. I love Roku. Please add Discovery plus to Roku
Dear Roku Management:
Discovery+ channel selections offer 90% of what my bride and I watch TV for!!!
Please...Please....Please push hard and negotiate successfully to obtain this Discovery+ new Streaming Network for US!!!
Appreciate your interest and efforts! :smileyhappy:
I agree. I am spending close to $100 month for my cable tv service for the handful of channels that would all be available on Discovery +.
If an agreement is not made and Discovery + is not an option on Roku, I will gladly to spend the $ to switch platforms as it will only take a few months to recover the cost.
I have all Roku TVs in my home please add discovery plus channel
Come on Roku let’s get this done!
This is TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. I will just boycott discovery plus. Hopefully there will be more people like me who will refuse to sit in a nest and be fed worms! #discoveryplus
Being in talks is one thing. Coming to agreement is another. These are business decisions with both sides trying to maximize their deal.
But note that Roku does not create the channel apps, the channel owners do. Roku just provides the platform on which they run. Discovery Plus won't be on Roku until Discovery supplies the app.
I get that. I am saying please come to an agreement. If you come to an agreement they will provide the app.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the Science channel? The cost without adverts is under 10$ a month, it offers an extensive list of stations. There are so many advantages to adding this tile.
I know the customer is the last thing considered in any business negotiation, you owe me nothing. But if I don't ask you can't say yes!
Thank you sincerely tho, for noticing the post at all. That in itself is refreshing.
Stay safe, have a lovely month.

AND pays roku agreed upon fees.
ROKU's 2020 3rd Quarter Earnings = $452 Million - and they have 46 Million users which means they are making around $9.82 dollars from users each quarter. Heck if it was me I would be happy to earn 3-4 dollars a quarter, but then again I have been called cheap often.
Seems they are doing well - if they would stop being too pushy to earn as much as possible and become more concerned that their USERS are well taken care of? It would better for all.
Typically negotiations mean one wants more than the other - and of course neither one will admit they are wanting more than the other. This is a problem for all consumers - the corporations are only concerned about making as much money as possible and could care less about the end-users who 9 times out of 10 will pay more, simply because they fail to understand how to stand up to money-grubbing corporations.
All I can say is USERS need to do GOOGLE searches on corporations and when done would soon discover - most could care less about their end-users. It is up to end users to band together and let the corporations understand how they feel about them.

Discovery Plus is available on the Amazon Firestick in India where they started this past summer, so I feel confident that Roku will come to an agreement with them. However, if they don't, Amazon probably will, since they are already rollin' in India. I like my Roku better, but was able to find the latest firestick for only $20 on Prime Day this year. There are a few apps I get on the stick that I can't find on Roku. Discovery Plus might be one of them. Probably great deals on these now before Christmas.
Thank you! I have multiple HDMI ports on my sets. Great option, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Spending so much time at home this last year.
Be safe. Have fun.
Discovery+ has most of the shows that I watch currently on Cable. I would like to slowly go to streaming and Discovery+ is a must to have. I looked at their prices and It is something I can afford. PLEASE do all that you can to obtain this channel for your customers. Thank you. LHo

I as a coronavirus panademic pushes on I am an individual that loves discovery plus shows and as a roku customer will be very upset if I cannot watch my favorite shows on my roku. I plead for the individuals that are vulnerable to the panademic and enjoy their roku and want to continue using this device.
Firestick has it. We should too. No excuse.
Please add DiscoveryPlus to Roku. I have two Roku devices and really don't want to resort to Firestick. DiscoveryPlus will have mega customers.

Please add Discovery Plus to Roku. I want to sign up for this channel but only stream through Roku. I tried the Firestick but prefer Roku. Please make this new channel subscription available to everyone for purchase.
