    Hi Michael, I have been hanging around your channel for about 2 years now debating on going the streaming route. I have had cable TV for over 30 years. So simple coming home and there is an instant live channel talking to you, then you put groceries away and start channel surfing. Fast and easy. Then my 2 year contract with my cable provider was up December 8. There was no negotiating because I was an existing customer. The current cable + internet was going from $187 to $260 a month for the same exact plan. Because of you and your channel, I bought 3 Roku’s for each TV set everything up on my own, restablished my Netflix plan onto the roku’s and signed up for KZread TV with the 21 day trial, as well as using the The free Pluto Tv app which has an amazing selection under their movies category. I owe this all to you because of your dedication to keeping us up to date on streaming. Plus I followed your How-to videos for setting up Roku and Beginning KZread TV. Thank, thank you, thank you.

    @@cheveryloliver1928 No complaints. It has worked out well. I bought a Roku Express 4K and added the KZread app (which is pre installed) then you only need to be signed in on your computer and it’s always there like cable. You only need to organize your channel lineup in the order you want to see them when you go to the live tv guide. You don’t organize on the TV, you do it on the KZread TV website. You move them up or down the list and on the computer. When you turn on the TV and click the KZread TV app, your channel lineup order shows up on the TV. Once you open the app on TV, at the top, you’ll see Library, Home, Live. Press the arrow to highlight “ Live” to get the TV Guide. Only thing I miss is channel surfing. Instead you’re app searching. But I do have a better selection of movies and shows through the Roku, KZread TV, and Pluto TV, and paying $73 monthly + internet vs $260 monthly with cable

    Thanks so much, Michael, for all your videos. I finally did a KZreadTV trial a month ago. I liked it and actually had more channels and features than my basic cable package (the DVR, on demand programs, etc.). So I got the one day NBA deal last week for $75 off the first 3 months (even after another 2 week free trial but I just had to use another Google account). I felt so good walking into my cable company yesterday with boxes and remotes in hand and telling them to cancel my TV! A liberating experience! And I have more shelf space in my TV rooms and less cords and cables, etc. For 3 months, I'll save $85 a month and then once my subscription goes to the regular price, I'll be saving about $60 a month. It was easy for me since I use Chromecast for years now anyway to stream stuff. Great job!

    We got our Charter/Spectrum bill just last week. $303!!! Way too big an increase at a time when the whole country is suffering. I dropped home phone and cable TV, keeping the 200 Mbps Internet. We decided KZread TV and Philo to cover the missing History Channel and my wife likes the extra Hallmark channels missing from KZread TV. We’re saving close to $200.00 a month. We find that the services are just as good as cable with respect to reception quality, but it’s considerably less convenient having to deal with two lineups just to get the same channels. The worst part is the clutter caused by the rudimentary “DVR” recording so many unwanted episodes. Seriously, having to wade through everything ever made on a series just to watch one episode is just asinine. If their developers can’t do better than that, it’s time to fire them all and start over. KZread offered a free trial all right. Two days! I signed up at night, so we got a free trial of 20 hours. Keep that in mind, I wish I had known.

    It's been said so often this is probably superfluous; but this is superb. I can just imagine the hours and hours of work that went into this. As someone who used to write up manuals at work for fellow employees myself, I know the effort involved in figuring out the right order, putting the head into that of the student, polishing and refining descriptions of procedures, etc. etc. Truly outstanding. I'm a member of a KZread TV "family." It may be a tiny minority, but I had to take your tutorial and edit it slightly for those family members because members don't have full access to all the features you mention. I don't know if the minority of family members who cannot take full advantage of everything in your tutorial are large enough to justify an alternate version of your tutorial, but I'm happy to share with you the changes I made to your tutorial, if you're curious. Kudos again! I looked for several hours for a really good KZread TV tutorial for our "family" and yours won going away; no comparison!

    The home screen seems like it's all over the place. I'd like to know how they create all these different categories that seem to change over time. I understand top picks for you and resume watching but beyond that It's all over the place it seems. If I do select one of the movies I don't see the ability to watch a trailer. Now do I see a thumbs up or thumbs down where you can tell the system you like or don't like the movie. By having the ability to go in and look at older movies, select, and the give your thumbs up or down the system can learn much quicker your type of viewing. Only have had it for a week so I'm still learning.

I have had Comcast for over 15 years and figured I would give KZread TV a try. The KZread TV channel lineup is pretty impressive here in the northern NJ area, where we get the NY City local channels.

    Great guide! I subsribed after watching this. Question please: If I add a channel/app thru KZread TV, will I be able to DVR the programs? If so, will I still have them if I later un-sub to the channel? For example, Peacock as a standalone sub does not offer DVR, so I wonder if I could get the DVR feature by instead getting Peacock thru KZreadTV.

    On the "Most Watched" option for setting up your sequence of channels on the guide, is it based on the most watched channels by everyone, or does it calculate what you personally watch and automatically sequence the channels? I'm thinking if it's automatic based on what you personally watch, then you might have to wait a month or so for it to figure it out.

The only way we can figure out how to get to it is to go to the area where you can subscribe to the add-ons and click on that choice, which has a green check mark on it. That takes him to the VOD MyOutdoorTV selections but is sure a cumbersome way to get there. Is there an easier way to find it? TIA!

I had to pause several times to do things like sign into my account. My hand/eye coordination is okay, yet I couldn't keep up until I got to the Live Guide page. People who are slower, such as those who key using the hunt and peck method, might feel frustrated. Otherwise, it's a great instruction. Peace, Louden.

For example, if I am the main account holder, and I set my custom channel lineup to have sports channels at the top, and I have my mom set up as a family member, can she set up a different custom channel lineup under her profile, so that she has a bunch of news channels at the top of her channel lineup??
