This action serves zero use to watch NBC for free, the It makes it appear but is useless. You do offer an app, but then you just keep repetitively saying use a pay for service..
You should just say we do not contract with NBC, pay a service fir access.
“Did you really think you could stream all the NBC/ABC/CBS content for no cost?”
no, The difference is most Services offer some special availability for Roku, or other provider services. Roku just simply keeps saying we offer, but indeed they do offer the free app but may not offer the programming associated with that network like, NBC. It needs worded so people searching for something know where to look. Roku used to prove much better at locating shows, but also telling you it is not free on Roku.
Should, those in poverty have the ability to watch local stations for news, weather, and emergent information for free; absolutely!?
Should these multimillion dollar programming stations offer some free programming, it attracts viewers. It needs for kids to have the ability to watch things like todays’ example the Thanksgiving day parade, absolutely.!
should these programming stations get multi millions out of people who really need some television. The issue is it comes at such an exorbitant rate most of us can no longer watch television, the Internet is extremely high then to add paid programming, many just can’t do it. This makes many end up watching free stations like Pluto, Tubi, but their personal ads are ridiculous. Pluto actually has a very disgusting ad called”**bleep** Bible”, keeping our kids from watching that station. The “stay tuned” for five minutes with horrific sound, creates change show during that ear and visual nonsense.
Yes, the programmer should make enough money to cover their expenses, pay their employees, but give something back to those of us struggling to pay Internet let alone pay their station.
Sorry, Apple voice to text no longer works well.
I have the same issue. What's with needing a code to sign in but then needing to sign up with a provider? The whole point of using ROKU is to not need a provider. CBS streaming is much more directly accessible, why not NBC? It's not user friendly to have to keep signing in after only getting access to 1 or 2 hours of shows.
@JoAnn59 That is NBC's decision to not permit direct subscription but instead require a TV provider. Roku has no control over that, and in reality having any streaming device (Roku, Smart TV, etc.) does not mean a TV provider is no longer necessary. There are a number of streaming services that require the user to have a TV provider (cable, satellite, or online TV provider). The streaming device cannot change that.
