Thanks for posting the other places we can find True History.

It's surely missed in our home, too!

I guess education isn't a profit maker for Roku.

 

I tried Distro TV and Xumo and failed. Distro TV crashes all of my Roku televisions, turning them off. Xumo simply recirculates itself back to Home and to the default program over and over. Maybe they will get fixed.

 

 

You can stream the episodes on Wondrium,. but it's kind of expensive and you have to watch it on a computer instead of the television.

Wondrium also has many other topics, but I don't know if they all are included in a subscription.

 

Hope Roku Gets True History Back Soon!

You can also stream a lot of the Great Courses for free via Kanopy (public library app on Roku) if your local library subscribes.  Not to get this thread too far off course but there is LOT of good streaming content from libraries nowadays.

It's on Plex too.  A simpler app than Distro so may not cause you any issues.

Thanks for the info about Kanopy.  I'll check that out.

Thanks to another user, I did find it on Xumo. Why couldn't they remove one or several of the reality shows  instead of True History. Someone made a bad decision.

Thanks, and thanks to all who replied. Found TH on Xumo last night (after a lot of searching and scrolling). Program guide is a little harder to navigate but glad to have TH back; it's a great alternative to the usual TV noise. Would love to see more like it too, such as the Annenberg-CPB Channel, if it still exists.

I’m missing my True History Channel!!  Where can I find it?!  It is one reason I purchased five Roku TV’s !  I guess you don’t care about us viewers but I’m very unhappy. I will tell my friends all over the country that Roku does this.

Thanks, Tim99 for mentioning Kanopy.

I didn't find specifically True History, but thanks to your mention of it, found lots of interesting Great Course episodes!
