Speaker 1: There's two things we all love, watching TV and saving money. With Roku, you can do both. In this video, we're going to cover four awesome money-saving tips. If you need advice to get you started, head over to Roku.com and find a player to fit your budget, a sound bar with streaming and audio in one, or a Roku TV with streaming built-in. Don't forget, If you want to stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest video tips from Roku, smash the like and subscribe buttons, or don't smash. An easy click will do. Now let's get started. Did you know cable packages can cost hundreds of dollars a month? That's a lot of moolah. Pile on equipment rentals, hidden fees, penalties for leaving your contract early. Not great, and with cable, odds are you're paying for a bunch of channels you don't even watch. Don't worry, there's good news. You can save big by cutting cable and streaming without missing out on your favorite shows. Live TV streaming services like FUBU TV, Hulu with Live TV, or Sling offer live TV and local channels you love without hidden fees or contracts. And most live TV services offer Cloud DVR so you can record your favorite shows and events. Yay, technology. Is free live TV your jam? You've got to check out our live TV channel guide. It provides easy access to loads of live entertainment all in one place, including news, sports, and more on over 200 live linear channels. To open and browse the guide, turn on your Roku device and find the live TV item on your home screen menu, or find it within the Roku channel. Pay less, stream more, so cut that cable. A huge way to save money is to watch free entertainment, and oh boy, oh boy, we have a lot of it. On the Roku channel, you can watch thousands of movies and TV episodes at no cost. And the content selection refreshes monthly, so there's always something new to watch. Plus, there's hit Roku originals like Die Hard and Reno 911 Defunded, all yours to watch for free. Check them out and let us know which Roku original is your favorite. Next up, you're going to love this. The home screen menu of every Roku device includes featured free. Just scroll to it and watch the best free TV from tons of popular channels all in one place. Featured frees got a hand-picked selection of free movies, in-season TV episodes, and classic favorites, all yours, all free. Did I mention free? Free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free. Head over to the Roku channel store to find even more free channels, or just search the word free using Roku search to find the free movies and TV zone. With more options for entertainment, you can watch for zip, zilch, nada. As you can tell, Roku's got endless entertainment. Start streaming today for, you guessed it, free. Antennas aren't just for putting on your head and pretending you're an alien. In fact, antennas these days aren't even like the old school bunny ears and tinfoil ones you remember. Antennas are now smaller, inexpensive, and allow you to watch local broadcast stations even from up to 100 miles away, depending on the antenna, of course. With an HDTV antenna, you can watch broadcast TV for free. That's right, absolutely free. For those of you who have or are considering a Roku TV, connecting an HDTV antenna is a great way to add even more free options. To start, simply connect an HDTV antenna to your Roku TV. Next, follow the easy on-screen steps to scan for local broadcast channels. The third step is also the last step. Start watching local stations for free. Yep, it's that easy. The number of stations varies by where you live and signal strength, so your antenna will work hard to get you what it can. Thank you, antenna. Roku TV has a built-in feature for live TV and HDTV antennas, so you'll easily be able to cut back on those pricey cable contracts without losing everything you love, like local sports and news. When you connect an antenna to your Roku TV, you can search both live and streaming channels, pause live antenna TV, and so much more. Roku TVs even add your antenna channels to the live TV channel guide I mentioned earlier, putting all your free live TV in one place. Want to dive deeper into the world of antennas? Head to this website right here. Still a cable subscriber? We won't hold that against you. Many cable providers charge a monthly rental fee for each cable box you have in your house. That means if you watch cable in another room, your wallet's going to get a little lighter real fast. Some people get stuck spending over $100 a year in rental fees for cable boxes they barely even use. Wouldn't you rather use that money on something else? Like pizza? A great way to save on these rental fees is to replace that cable box in your extra room with a Roku device. You'll get all the benefits of Roku streaming without paying more per month. Plus, our players take up less room. Like a lot less. Many cable companies, like Spectrum and Xfinity, have a channel on the Roku platform that gives you access to your cable subscription rather than renting another cable box. So you can still enjoy cable TV, but with all the extra Roku goodness added on top. See? It's like cable, but way better. Thanks for watching. Make sure to follow us on social media for more Roku-related fun and helpful tips. Let us know in the comments below what you're going to do with all that money we saved you. Happy streaming.
