What free services do you use? We don’t pay for anything right now, which means we aren’t watching much except some yt stuff.

I dumped my sat dish last year, and got a Roku. I pay for the ad-free Hulu.

Personally, I've been into watching the 80/90s sitcoms. My latest binge watching is Home Improvement, with Tim Allen. Timeless laughs.

I also got Foxnation- but only to watch Tucker Carlson. (also commercial-free)

And I recently installed Rumble via my Roku and was watching Charlie Kirk on election day.

Oh, and I also hit up the local used bookstore and stocked up on reading material, and just turned the boob tube off completely. My life is so much calmer. :)

For Fox stuff, go to Rumble via Roku and subscribe to Foxmuldernews. You can get what you want commercial free there, including Gutfeld which is awesome. We also watch Real America Voice and OAN via Roku (have to pay 4.99/mth for OAN, but it's worth it, and since they keep getting banned, I look at it like a donation.

If you are looking for a wholesome show to watch look for Heartland. It’s on Roku. I even got my husband hooked. And there’s more than 20 seasons so it will keep you occupied for a while.

We watched all of it. Was good. Til I found out it was produced by Canadian Gov't. Also gets into climate change and such in later episodes. Made me angry.

We have Roku and thru that, Epoch Times TV. We especially like "American Thought Leaders " thru Epoch tv.

Watched Dr Ryan Cole, a pathologist, speak for an hour. Jaw dropping!

I didn't know that either! We have Roku, so we'll have to try that tonight when we watch American Thought Leaders! Update: Already tried it and it works! No more watching on the computer!

Dr Cole is an incredible and humble Christian doctor. He has acted and spoken with courage and at great risk to himself.

I love my Roku. I'll search out a few tv series or movies and then when I have several on one premium channel ("Starz" or whatever) I'll subscribe for a month or two, watch what I want, then cancel. Some have a 7, 14, or 30 day free trials, too. I like tubi, freevee and the free subscriptions to discovery+ (husband likes some shows there), Peacock and Paramount+. I also have a yearly subscription to PureFlix when it went on sale. I have the YouTube, Rumble and odyssee apps installed.

We dumped cable a year ago too.

We pay for OAN. How refreshing that was on election night. We do not watch Fox, Newsmax or any others. They are all garbage. We also have a Roku tv. We also got a fire stick. I hate Amazon but we only pay for what we want. We don’t do any of that Alexa garbage.

If you have Roku, look for the Pluto channel. They do have ads, but live tv, OAN, War Room, Real America's Voice, and a lot of variety, from current to classics.

Pluto is very lgbt friendly... some of their ads are atrocious! we have to mute them frequently, but they have a lot of the shows we like for free!

I can ignore movies or shows with which I disagree, but the ads! It has happened suddenly. The campaign ads were overwhelming, but they've been replaced with "can I unsee that?" pharma ads. (The funny thing is, on these 'drugs for everything' commercials, they tell about every single possible complication -including death - yet there is never a peep about complications when they are dancing and singing for the almighty injections. It's a miracle concoction!)

I think it's nearly impossible to find any broadcast media that hasn't bought into the ESG, CRT, LBGT agendas. The only option is to throw the TV out the window, along with the cell phone. Coming soon!

Thanks for the heads up. We refuse to use them then. We’ll keep doing what we’re doing and not subject ourselves to that crap.

That $300 per month goes to fund...CNN, MSNBC, Diznee and all sorts of woke crap.

As in 300 dollars a month? As in $3,600 a year? As in $36,000 over ten years? As in $108,000 over the life of a thirty year mortgage?

Someone must really love you? Guess who?

how do you get free channels on a smart tv? I have one and don't see any free channels.

Peacock, freevee, Plutotv

Yes, I have a smart tv and see nothing free. We have had Hulu for a year and a half and the price has gone up twice. $75 a month for 75 channels and live sports is too much for me. Hubby won’t give up his Fox News, I have no idea why.

Subscribe to FOX News and stream on tv via ROKU. I don't care about FNC live, but subscribed to FOX Nation to get Tucker Carlson Tonight, Tucker Carlson Today and Tucker Carlson Originals with next day delay via ROKU.
