Now they are, when they first launched Roku wasn't offering them due to contractual issues and then they pulled down YTTV.
Thinking of cutting cable and streaming....

My local cable company Eero WIFI6 with the internet package. No need for your own wireless router. I have 1Gb speeds when hard wired and get 650 Mbs when wireless through the Eero system.
If you have TVs, all you need is the Eero dongle with the cable box, power for the TV cord and you're good to go.
Eero and similar systems are wireless gamechangers in my opinion.

I did it and use Youtube TV which has all your most watched cable channels.(about 65) for $65 a month. It has a cloud based DVR. Put a show in your Favorites and it records every episode and you can speed thru the commercials if you don't watch it live. I have 30 mbps internet and get a great pic on my OLED tv. There is a learning curve on how to operate and get to where you want to go. Cut my Dish bill in half. There are all kinds of add-ons available including 4k. I've been happy with it.
Why do you need a Eero dongle for the TV if it has WIFI or ethernet? You must have streaming video service through your internet/cable company? Most "cable TV" service is essentially a streaming service now anyway.
Just curious what type of antenna you use.
I have a cheap indoor USB cord powered antenna and get a decent array of over the air channels for where I live. I don't quite get 36 OTA channels in well though.
Couple those with all the free streaming channels that show up on my Roku channel menu and there 100's of choices.
Yes, for the cable TV feed. Still haven't cut the cord.
Streaming is all personal taste. Go for it and so many services to try.
We switched to Hulu live from direct TV in November and haven’t looked back. We watch whatever we want including local channels and I’m saving ~$100 per month plus the cost of NHL center ice! I would have switched sooner but the deal with ESPN just started this year.
Just my $0.02
That service is essentially streaming the cable video over TCP/IP then. No different that any other streaming service.
Well I had a Roku ultra 4K on external power, I had it hard wired to the comcast router and I was only running 1080i.
noticed this on motion, similar to an early digital TV motion jitter/lag. Still pictures, such as news casts were excellent.
I was running youtube tv didn't try too many of the other free channels.
Picture quality was excellent on the Firestick.. I will say am very sensitive to certain digital artifacts.
How would I know if I had config issues? I don't have an I.T guy in the house - thankfully
Probably not, but it would be close. You have to figure in your other internet use as well.
I would try a different ethernet cable to your Roku. It had to be a networking issue or a problem with the router you are using/other traffic on the network. A direct wired ethernet connection should be better than wireless. I can run 3 HD/4K streams to each of my 3 Rokus and surf the web, etc at the same time with only an 80mbps down 10 mbps up internet connection.Well I had a Roku ultra 4K on external power, I had it hard wired to the comcast router and I was only running 1080i.

You could also try defaulting the Roku settings are starting over.
Roald Dahl nailed this one!
