Pluto TV is a free channel that I stream on both ROKU and Apple TV. I remember Para talking about it months ago. I checked it out have been watching old westerns, military channels, documentaries, and the paranormal channel. They have classic TV shows also where episodes of the Prisoner is shown. All in all, there must be 300 or more channels of some good, some not so good different offerings. A lot of the documentaries are things I’ve never seen before. I spend a lot of time watching Pluto even tho I have AT&TNow.
Anyways, last night I ran across 3 channels I’d never seen before. 1. A classic channel on old TV westerns including Roy Rogers, Northwest Passage and others. 2. The Rifleman channel 3. And the last one I really was excited about,,, A Johnny Carson channel. I’ll second Paras recommendation,, check out Pluto TV.

Love PlutoTv, especially Buzzr, which shows old gameshows from the 70s and 80s.

Pluto's cool. I've really been taking advantage of Tubi. I like their selection a little better.

There is a channel on Pluto that plays old Addams Family reruns 24/7. I've watched a few episodes. Brought back memories. Lurch, Thing, Morticia and the whole crew. Lots of fun.

Yes Sigfest, they just added a 24 hr Johnny Carson channel. His 30 and 40 year old stuff is still funny. And it represents a respite from the leftist sewage that exists in late night instead of good comedy.

Lots of great free streaming channels available on Roku TV.

Had it for a bit to watch American Gladiators and forgot all about it.
Buddy reminded me about it and found they have a ton of old cartoon stuff for the kids which is way better than today’s crap.
Commercials are a minor annoyance since I have not watched commercials in probably 5 years. The kids have no clue and so I explained about the old days.

Now if they want to watch something on Pluto they ask if we can watch “old tv” and that is not a bad thing, they love it.

Just don't ask me to see what's on Uranus.

It's on Prime, too. I like it as well.

Commercials are insufferably numerous.
Selection is great!

Agreed which is why my remote remains in hand so I can mute the offending interruptions.

Frankly I wish PlutoTV would adopt what Tubi and many others do. They warn of a commercial break in x seconds and show the number of commercials decrementing in a corner of the screen.

I wish METV was available

I've not figured Pluto TV out yet,

Comcast has the app, and I seem to go straight to a channel ,
I can scroll up and down, but cannot find a menu screen to show me what is on the channels,

I found the Star Trek channel last night but it also locked up on me 15 minutes into the episode,


guessing Pluto and Comcast may be having some compatibility issues,



I went looking for the old UK show UFO, but no luck in finding that

The easiest thing is to make channels you like, a Favorite. It will put all your favorites together. The learning curve takes some time to figure it out.
When you see a channel you want to make a favorite, click it forward 1 show and it will show the preview, then look under the preview to see where it says favorites. Click on it. It then darkens out the Heart for a favorite and starts a favorite ‘folder’.
Go thru all the channels you want to easily find and put in favorites. Makes it easy to see shows you want to watch.

logged on to IMBD tv last night to watch UFO, got the first episode,

took a bit, apparently I had a login that I did not know I had, but once passwords changed etc etc it pulls right up,

a few commercials, probably less than 'regular TV,

and,

all the cheesy UK SciFi I remembered!

LastCubScout—- I checked out Tubi last nite. Lots of good stuff. And bald1 I will have to check out the other channels that ROKU has. Unbelievable how much free stuff there is. If it wasn’t for TCM, I’d be ditching AT&TNow.

Open the Roku Channel "Live TV" icon link to get a channel line up of all the stuff
You may have to scroll the top line of icons a bit to find it.

And yeah, since cutting the cord I've had zero desire to sign up for any of the pay streaming services.
