@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
