Cord cutter observation,

[kozar]

I'll condense this. I've used a ROKU stick fora couple years now. I pay my 6 bucks to ROKU every month, because there a few quirky channels i watch on the ROKU channel.My TV broke, so being a cord hater, I bought a ROKU TV.
Set up the TV, did my OTA scan, checked and all my apps still there.Figured out how to pull up OTA guide with new remote.
I was bored here, yesterday morning, and running through my OTA guide, and here' s the point.
My local stations through the channel scan, stops at digital channel51.4, which is correct. Figured if I hit the" down" button, one more time, it will cycle back to my lowest OTA channel.
Nope, it jumped to channel 115, and stopped at channel 670,or something like that. Obviously, this is the guide for ROKU channel, but it's a Guide! And the channels included, I'm watching NFL channel now, golf later.
They have , news,movies,cooking docu, music ,classic tv shows, etc.etc.
I'm just interested is other smart tvs, have this. This is my first smart TV, and I was awake, watching old shows I would haver found thru the ROKU home screen or app.
Maybe I'm missing something else about smart TVs?
I'll take hints here, ( it's a Hisense 40 inch.I got it for 198 dollars)
Thanks,
Koz

1. Nice that you have it all sorted out.

I think you're saying by pushing one button you got 500 more channels!

I cut the cord and didn't replace it so I'm prehistoric. My relatives ridicule me. i have a few internet channels, and TUBI.

2. I bought a Vizio Smart TV about 4 years ago.

I've noticed that Vizio is jumping into the content game with a whole slew of free channels. The few times I've used it, commercials are quite frequent on their channels.

3. My son replaced cable w/ a Firestick gizmo on the tv.

I have no idea how to make it find what I want to see.

But I honestly don't miss it at all.
