Roku device question

[Shadowrider]

Agreed, I’m probably going to ditch it anyway. But in the meantime, it’s my source for local channels/news. We are relatively new to cutting the cable. So, besides rabbit ears, what is the best way to stream local news?

OTA is the only way I know of without some sort of subscription service. OTA is the best anyway as you get several sub channels now. 4.1, 4.2 etc. I know 9.2 is just a loop of their last newscast which is kind of nice if you miss the regular broadcast. Also the video quality rocks on the main channels with OTA.

Have you downloaded the roku app remote to your phone?

I had a similar issue with a ROKU stick on two very similar TV's One worked flawsly and the other would get playback issues. I swapped the sticks between TV's and the problem stayed with the TV. In the end it was some DRM clash between the two. Try to swap the sticks and see if the problem moves

I have not. Is there an advantage?

I found a YT vid that said to empty the cache on the tv. I can’t find the steenkin remote.

The advantage is that you probably won't lose your phone the way you do the remote.

This will get you a couple of hundred free stations with a ROKU TV or Stick
