These companies need to be sued and held accountable. This is ridiculous.

And Roku has all kinds of personal information on its users. Companies who can't secure customer data should face heavy fines, maybe that would give them an incentive to protect personal information.

Streaming services are not cable TV companies. Just say NO to expensive FCC cable TV fees and BS regulations.

@@Kev4Kevcable companies are regulated and taxed the way they are due to need to install and maintain the infrastructure necessary to provide its services and the monopolistic nature of the arrangement that are set up with municipalities. Streaming tv service do not require or install any infrastructure and are available to everyone in any market. So treating them the same as cable companies is just wrong

I am on the verge of just watching KZread. I am thinking about leaving my TV Antenna off as well. I will have to give up the free apps on my Roku also. Too much fighting over more money and the consumer is the punching bag!

I have a PIN# on my Roku account for purchases.

Thank you!

I do not see the logic of local stations getting a cut if none of their local content is used. If prime time CBS,ABC and NBC content is provided and no local content,they do not deserve a cut,the owners of the content do. Antennas pick up local newscasts and weather nicely,thank you.

On Peacock and Paramount+ they do show the local programing of those NBC and CBS stations. Nobody though is watching it. NBC and CBS should just switch to a National feed for their programs and sports on those services.

This is why I subscribe on the websites and do not have my card linked to the Roku itself. As for the other, just what we need, more government control.

Most mesh systems will only give you limited access to configure and use. It's not possible to separate 2.4, 5 and 6g as those will have bandstering automatically be on , your connected devices would by subsequently based on amount of the devices being used at the time. But also if you ISP is providing the mesh systems, they can be programed to only work at peak performance between certain times from 12am to 12pm, every thing else is going to be around 2.4 speeds. I had a eero 6 pro mesh system , first with one , then two, coverage was bad because the system would load more devices on one eero flooding the other, that lent to saturation, The devices and automatically drop 5 and 6 g to 2.4 The other issue is devices the where at a further distance, would get assigned to that eero when devices close to it would not be connected. If deciding on a mesh system, ask your ISP if it has configuration for bandstering and channel separation, device protocols assignment and administrative control over the device, this includes setting up a different administrative and wifi password. One othe thing to consider, so devices can only operate on 2.4 and the mesh system preferred 5 or 6 g, so if have home automation you will more often have issues with those devices. If you buy your mesh system, make sure it has at least some basic ability to configure and administering it

“Roku quietly launches a new…” sure was quiet - Luke, you skipped over this.

Here’s my opinion about KZread and the other major live TV streaming services becoming like cable TV. All KZread TV and the others have to do is what fubo did just pick up the national feed from CBS that covers all the prime time shows and sports. And national news. As far as local news, there are plenty of apps where you can watch the local news in your city. The rest of the daytime programming on local TV is 98% garbage. Which is no loss.

Question for Luke: Do you think a day will come when live TV streaming channels can be purchased a la carte or at least in small, content focused packages? Back in the 80s and 90s I had a backyard satellite dish. Even after cable channels began to scramble their feeds in the late 80s, there were companies such as Turner Vision that allowed you to create your own package by simply picking out the channels you want and paying a fixed fee for those channels. It wasn't as good as when everything was free and in the clear, but it was very consumer friendly.

We are focused on learning from KZread videos that save us money, teach us new skills and ways to improve ourselves and our home life. We are not climate change believers and avoid the woke Hollywood movies and TV crap. Much more I could add here also.

I think all the streaming services and then should drop all the locals. Or else make them optional. In today’s technology, you don’t really need a local TV station for news and information anymore. They’re supposed to be doing a public service. They shouldn’t be able to charge millions of dollars to cable companies for their feed.

Left my tv bricked, charging them $100 a day Plus the price of all the services I can't access. Until this is resolved the bill keeps increasing, sent them a bill already. No response. I may take out a lien on their hq if they continue to ignore me. Don't hold my property hostage!!

when is someone going to produce a menu application that will allow selecting any channel from any source to add to the menu / this will end the local channel debate about cable channels. Samsung combines preset streaming channels as well as ota locals. You can't add to it but you can remove channels from the menu. Dish does the same thing basically letting you add ota channels if you buy their ota dongle. The technology is there ans has been for years....... I don't buy the statement that Roku is the one that wasn't hacked.....too many Roku accounts. Roku just doesn't want to admit it. The biggest problem is that Roku tv's don't allow you options and they intend to add commercials to everything. If I had a Roku tv I'd be shopping for a new tv.

No AI generated content for me.....

ROKU and 576,.000 accounts hacked. If that was using logins and passwords from other databases, I wonder who took the time to log into all the Roku accounts to find 576K that worked! 😳 It had to be a bit of programming script used to do that. A.I. movies (TCL) - I'm not against using A.I. or CGI where its needed; the 'Godzilla Minus One' movie was a great example. But I'd say no to using them to create a lifelike movie using A.I. and CGI exclusively, the characters, their movements and expressions just look fake no matter how much effort they put into it. Maybe they should try scaling back the obsession with computers to use some old-school animation like old Walt Disney movies or semi-CGI/AI stuff like Tim Burton or Harry Selnick animated movies; example here would be the 'Nightmare before Christmas'.

Nightmare Before Christmas was not made with AI. This movie was made in 1993, when other than Terminator 2, the term was rarely used, never mind actually being used. Stop-motion photography, which Tim Burton used, is super time intensive.

I think he’s warning/saying if use same password for multiple places we can be compromised from another hack at another place by having that password in multiple places - increases being hacked wherever that password was used - like leaving multiple doors open in your home - once in easy entry everywhere it’s used. It’s a viscous high tech environment we have with experts in hacking no matter a companies high tech protection, this is just too frequent.

I got one of the emails from ROKU saying I was hacked. I didn’t and don’t use the same passwords. User names are the same on a lot of accounts everyone want an email or phone number for that user name. A person would need hundreds of email addresses to use a different one every account that requires that to be your user name. I say ROKU is lying. They had the data breach not someone else.
