I have never heard of that channel. Is it free?

I followed the link to the 13th floor.

I found it interesting that I didn’t recognize any of the actor’s names.

I guess my policy of watching mostly vintage movies is paying dividends.

I noticed CBSN, MSNBC, Bloomberg on there but I wish I could get Fox News on Roku...live stream.

Is that even possible on Roku?

I am new to this.

Pluto is great for Mystery Science Science Theater 3000 episodes.

1999 & 2008 are hardly considered vintage movies.

I just bought a new Vizio and was happily surprised to see this on Smartcast.

MST3K 24/7 for free. Life is good.

Point being it’s reason I didn’t recognize their names.

Like you, almost every actor on screen was new to me. The actor playing the black Detective (Dennis Haysbert) had been seen in the tv series, “24”. He has also appeared in the “You are in good hands with All State insurance” tv ads

The cast listing also includes Johnny Crawford of “The Rifleman” tv series; he was also a singer with hit recordings in the 1960s: Cindy’s Birthday; Rumors) to name but two.

Roku has no subscription service to the FNC channel once X-TV was removed from the platform.

If you should have a Smart TV as well as ROKU, suggest you use your television, travel to google and search for JuJuBot live stream video on You Tube. DH found this stream several months ago and it has been most helpful in giving us the channel during these tense times. Good luck.

I get Fox News live on Roku through Hulu, which I have to pay for. In the fall and winter I used to subscribe to Sling TV but this year I subscribed to Hulu instead, partially because it has Fox News. However, Hulu costs more than Sling TV.

I sometimes toy with Roku.

The last things I found were Ghostbusters from 84 and Escape To Athena.

Thanks.

Right now, am trying to avoid extra $$$$$.

I wish we could pick and choose such as News or football instead of paying for the whole enchilada.

so, is Pluto one of those “free” channels that won’t let you skip ads, and if you try, it starts the movie over again from the beginning or if you try to backup to watch something again you always get 2-3 more minutes of ads?

if so, it’s not free ... you’re paying with precious moments of your limited lifetime to watch bullshit ...

Oh I remember Dennis Haysbert. He was a cop in Heat.

I wonder whatever happened to Chuck Connors.
