@jlr27, if you're not paying some entity, you have no provider.  For many apps you need a cable, satellite, or cable-like provider (like Hulu, YoutubeTV, Fubo, Sling, etc.).  Roku is not a provider as it's free.

Hi @jlr27,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We'd love to take a closer look into this concern that you have with Roku TV since it was asking you for a TV provider. Are you trying to access a channel? If yes, what channel is it?

We'll wait for your response.

Thanks,
John
