The Roku Channel

The easiest way to watch live TV on a Roku is through the built-in 'Roku Channel.' It features a dedicated 'Live TV' section that mimics a traditional cable guide. You can browse through dozens of channels including news, sports, and cooking programs without paying a subscription fee.

Third-Party Live Apps

For more variety, download applications like Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, or Xumo. These apps provide hundreds of additional live channels. By adding these as 'Channels' on your main menu, you can quickly navigate between live broadcasts without ever needing a cable box again.
