Hello everyone!,
I'm looking for the thoughts of the community ...
A friend of mine is fed up with her high cable bill (more than $200/month) and is ready to switch to streaming. She recently picked up and set up a new Roku Express+, but when going through set up, of some of the apps/channels, it asked for verification of service.
My main question is, since she has not shut off her cable service yet (but will obviously keep the internet service from the same provider so that she can run the Roku), IF she signs up for one of the LIVE TV streaming services, aka, DirecTVNow, YouTubeTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling, Fubu, and then goes to add an app and watch content, does the streaming service now become her "provider" and will enable her to login and verify service?
Basically does the new, live, streaming service become her new provider?
I don't want to give false advice and just say that it does since I have an internet provider with one company and DirecTV to watch TV on. I use my Roku as a "companion" to DTV when I watch ESPN+ and other networks.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
DT
