(22,264 posts)then when we upgraded the TV we got a new ROKU which was smthigarter. We got the third one because we kindof messed up the remote and we really like this one. The remote has direct keys for Netflix, Amazon and Hulu.
I'd recommend if you already have an Amazon Prime account, make that your first streaming channel to explore. It is part of your Prime subscription. Then if you want you can add Hulu or Netflix and if you want HBO Now you can get it through your Prime account. You can turn HBO on and off (example if you only want it for Game of Thrones)
When you fire up your device, you will see an icon for Prime just click on it and register it with your device .It is easy if I can do it anyone can! Very simple.
If you are a donor to your local PBS station, you can get a PBS Passport code which unlocks so much of their past programming. It's really cool. That is a free channel on your ROKU
Free Speech TV is another great free channel.
We have Prime because it's included in our Prime Membership. We started with Netflix back when it was DVD only; there are more things to watch than you can view in a lifetime.
Hulu is nice for current TV and their own productions. Each of these services has programming that the other two do not. I think my subscriptions total $30 monthly and that inc ludes HBO
