ROKU won't let me sign in. Code does nothing. I have no provider other than the internet. No cable or dish.
RCT13, if you don't have a cable, satellite, or streaming provider (Roku is none of those) then you won't be able to use the Fox News app. You can watch Fox Live Now on The Roku Channel.
Thank you for the information, but very disappointing. It shows up on the screen, and gives me a code to enter, but the code doesn't work.
The reason I got Roku was so that I could cut the cable cord, Does Roku need a cable provider or an internet provider? I thought it was just an internet provider, but when I try to put the code into the fox news box, it tells me my package does not cover that and I have to upgrade my plan. In my case, I have xfinity, and I want to get rid of the cable part of it, but if I do, will roku get me fox ?
unfortunately no! I’m dealing w/the same issues. Have Starlink as my internet provider. When trying to use their “CODE”, Of course, Starlink is not even listed.
Same problem!! Code doesn’t work for me bc Starlink is not on the list of providers!!! Beyond frustrating!!
Isn’t Roku a streaming provider?????
Oldoaktree123, Roku is not a provider. They build little computer boxes that connect to your TV. Roku is no more a provider than the maker of your computer.
Roku only requires internet.
Among the thousands of content providers available on Roku, there are a variety of business models. One of those business models requires you to log in through a TV provider, which includes cable TV systems. (For these channels you pay them via your TV provider subscription even when you watch them through another mechanism.) If that’s the only payment method that some channel wants, and you don’t like that payment method, then consider other channel/apps.
Or if you absolutely must have some channel that demands that you have a TV provider, then get one.
You’re not going to get a ~$80/month set of channels from the little box that cost you a one-time payment of ~$30. It’s possible to save money with streaming but it’s not “magic”.
Same using the code for me. Doesn’t work bc Starlink isn’t listed as one of their providers. 😡
Right. Unfortunately, Fox News Live isn’t LIVE. Old news!! More than frustrating!!!
