    We pay for a full cable box through verizon and we have roku in the bedroom. How am i paying for cable each month but can’t use abc anymore on roku? But you want me to pay for hulu live to get AbC i’m confused.

      Roku has nothing to do with the removal of the ABC app. That is Disney greed trying to get you to sign up for Disney+ or Hulu+Live TV.

      I pay for one cable box with xfinity and I have a Hulu basic account and I no longer can get abc.  This doesn’t make sense.  I can see on my Roku TV that I use Xfinity which is displayed in the top right corner of the TV.   Also I cannot see live NBC shows .  I did the log in activate NBC but still cannot get to it.  I worked with Roku customer service informed them of error cloud path authorization NID.  Roku said they would get back to me but I have not heard.  VERY DISSATISFIED!

        If you don’t want to subscribe to yet another service buy an OTA antenna. In my area, Austin, TX., using Roku the ABC affiliate was replaced with Dr. Phil’s own Merit Street Network. Oh Yay……😖!

      Get a antenna. Look at Amazon and get  and idea what they are. The one I have goes for about 55. I am in attleboro and pick up boston and Rhode station clear.
