For the longest time we watched History Channel free streaming. We watch Skinwalker ranch and others the week after the main showing. Now it shows a lock key on it and says must have a subscription, I think that is so wrong since steaming is FREE and watched it for years. Fix this
The History channel app is a TV Everywhere app. Full access is linked to having a matching cable/satellite/streaming TV subscription. Did you once have cable/satellite TV and had it linked? Those links eventually expire.
This has nothing to do with Roku. It's the provider limited access to those who pay. They may also have offered limited access without a subscription. With all the corporate belt tightening going on, they may be reducing what is available for free.
No I do not have cable or satellite. When the shows play live it will be lock but a week later it was unlocked.
I have had this for over 3 years with Ruko it only changed at beginning after the 3rd episode this year!
Ruko says download History channel for FREE streaming in HD.
DFA1-
Roku does not charge you to download and install the History channel app.
Roku does not charge you to use the History channel app.
History themselves require you to have a TV Provider account in order to view the content on the History channel app.
If History has changed its policy and no longer unlocks on-demand programs a week after they played live, that's up to History, not Roku.
I found out after getting rid of xfinity, few good channels are free, you'll pay monthly if you want the good ones, history, a&e, Hallmark, ovation, local news, fox news, news nation, so I just watch free ones,as fast internet costs me enough!
