New to Me Streaming TV Station - TUBI
After many years of Netflix and Hulu, DH and I found TUBI. (We have a Roku box). TUBI is free to use and they literally have thousands of movies, tv shows, documentaries, cartoons, etc. Many of these are not available on Netflix or other stations. (I haven't found any Netflix series on TUBI, so don't know if they have these).
Yes, TUBI has ads (like "regular" tv and Hulu has), but with the number of shows available for free, I think it is well worth sitting through the ads. Just my opinion...Anyone else watching TUBI?

I have a Roki on my library TV to watch my monthly broadcast. Our cable company along with many others I'm sure have been blacked out by some of the main channels like ABC. Found out I can watch my shows using the Roku to watch ABC channel. The only thing is I've been so programmed to recording my shows and watching later plus fast forwarding the commercials that I'm a bit spoiled. May just have to suck it up and go back to using the Roku more often. I noticed a lot of the newer TVs are coming out the Roki built into them. My little 32" is way over 15 years old so no built in Roku. Can't see buying a new TV if this one still works fine.

Thanks so much for telling us about TUBI! I just signed up and am now looking through all the terrific movies, tv shows, etc. I’ve found some shows I watched as a kid (on reruns) way back in the late 50s and early 60s!! Yes!!!👍👍👍👍👍.

I won our smart TV at a conference I was at for my work a few years ago. I didn't have internet at the time because I live in a rural area so it didn't go by my house. I stuck the TV upstairs and this past summer, internet was installed on my road. So out came the Roku TV. We not only have Tubi, but Pluto is another free to use app that has just as many shows and movies as Tubi. Just search for Pluto and you'll be just as amazed.😎
Also, if you have an Amazon prime subscription for your free shipping, you also get access to tons of free movies and TV shows, just do a search for the "prime" app on your TV and add it to your line up.
