One of the benefits of having a Roku device is that it grants you access to nearly every major streaming app available. That includes the services that focus primarily on live TV, like Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Philo TV, as well as hybrid apps that offer live TV and DVR options with streaming, like Hulu + Live TV.
You can easily download these apps from the Roku Channel Store on your device. In addition to offering dozens of popular networks and DVR capabilities, these services typically include local TV channels based on your account’s location. These services are also great for watching sports — one of the main draws of live TV — often having local games available, as well as premium packages to stream even more matches.
However, the downside to watching local TV through apps like these is cost: YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV are some of the most expensive streaming options on the market, and rival fees you’d be paying if you had cable. As well, more affordable options like Philo TV typically have less content, including less local TV options.
On-demand streaming apps are typically cheaper, and now that media companies are releasing proprietary services like Paramount+ for their own content, you also have the option to watch live TV affiliates owned by their parent companies. Paramount+ will have some live CBS affiliates and other stations available, while similarly Peacock offers live NBC content from your region.
