We have subscription for Hallmark channel and it's not letting us veiw the shoes live. We also are having issues with a local channel CBS and Disney Now. We got rid of our cable but still have the internet through xfinity and it's not letting us get the channels.
Disney Now says “cable or satellite subscription required” so obviously that one is out but try Disney+. Likewise, try Parmount+ instead of your cable-oriented CBS. HallmarkTV also says “cable or satellite subscription required”. Perhaps “Hallmark Movies Now” is suitable?
(In case it’s not clear: “cable subscription” means cable TV subscription. Content providers don’t care about a cable internet subscription, because they get no money at all from that.)
I see two Hallmark channels in the Roku Channel Store - Hallmark TV and Hallmark Movies Now . Hallmark TV requires a cable/satellite subscription and Hallmark Movies Now is video on demand. Without cable I doubt you'll be able to watch Hallmark live.
Disney Now also requires a cable subscription. Disney+ is available as a subscription without cable.
As far as I can tell the channels that require a cable subscription are there just so you can get them without a cable box connected to the TV. They don't generally offer a way to get them without paying for cable. It's probably an agreement they have with the cable companies.
As for CBS, I get it by connecting an antenna to my TV.
