Has anyone ever gotten that to work for auto racing? Just resubmitted the code for Roku TV, about the 15th time had to do that, nothing about Nascar except "coverage has ended" for USA. They said, coverage will be moved to sports app at 5:30. Nope. Nothing there. It's NEVER worked for me. I mean the app seems to work. Any racing always say concluded. IDK? I'm sure it's just me.
 
ARCA at Mid Ohio on Flo is starting now. NBC blew off everything for Xfinity, they had to get to swimming
 
So Brent when he ran the Trans Am series was Crew Chiefed by my buddy Ron Otto who I worked with in the K&N Series for Brandon Gdovic. Ron is a top notch CC, he came up through the ranks and paid his dues. He was the setup guy for Dale Sr and part of the Flying Aces. He deserves a top level spot.

I dont know what the big deal is. Download the app and put your provider in and you get everything.

NBCSports is one of the channels included in Roku TV. Every time you try to use it, have to open NBCSports.com/roku and activate the account. EVERY TIME! Only takes couple minutes but while was fumbling around they cancelled Xfinity qualifying which is what I was watching on USA. They said go to the APP at 5:30. I was there by 5:32 and nothing but swimming available. It surely didn't rain THAT hard?

Does that better explain? I've NEVER watched a single minute of auto racing thru that APP. Never works.

Apple TV is the only streaming device worth owning.

The only app that doesn’t work well on it is the Fox Sports app.

My 4K Firestick and my 4K Firecube can do it all. The Cube runs all of my Lights, TV's and Security Cameras.

I have an Apple TV device, but it’s sitting in a storage tote. I replaced it with Roku after buying one on Black Friday. Never had any issues with Apple, so no idea why I switched. The only issue I have with Roku is that every time I turn up or down the volume using the Roku remote, it cranks it to almost full volume even though I press it once.

I think I switched to Apple from Roku when Roku and Amazon were fighting with every new streaming service and wouldn’t let you download their apps.

Since then, I just like how the Apple TV functions. So much better. I don’t have to log in through my TV provider for any app except Fox Sports. And the ones that are OTT, logging in is a breeze with iPhone. Scrolling is so much faster and smoother.

The Roku app on my phone, when I used it as a remote, I had to watch commercials and close ads and stuff. None of that with the remote function on iPhone.

There is also a very sharp contrast in picture and sound quality. Some of the apps, on Roku, I had to had to have the volume all the way up to hear anything. HD on Apple TV 4K looks as sharp as a lot of 4K content.

The layout on Apple TV is so similar to an iPhone that it’s simple. I’ve never had to wait for an app to reinstall on Apple. Apps are generally very buggy on Roku in my experience.
 
Weird deal happened couple weeks ago. Still on-going. Have mini-PC connected to 32" TCL Roku TV as monitor. Rarely use the TV or Roku function. Spend ton of time watching YouTube videos. Normally find a YT video to watch with PC and cast it to 55". Suddenly the cast function doesn't work to 55" TV. Says it's available but when I click to send it, browser closes. Nothing happens. Re-open brower and it asks if want to restore previous settings. I've poked around in settings on 55" and in PC. No idea what happened.

CAN cast to the 32" (kind of a Matrix deal) or 40" bedroom TV just not to 55". Roku is known to push out updates that screw things up but all 3 TV's show same update level. Two work, one doesn't. It's a puzzler.

You've convinced me, just plugged back in my Apple TV. 😂 Doesn't take much to convince me.
 
Seems HTF has APP on FireStick. Will get one for the 40" dumb TV. Likely redo my hacked together TV mounting system made of 2x4's and put the 40" right beside the 55". Will serve two purposes. Block the window so not looking into daylight and give me three permanent screens to stare at.
 
I got an LG TV, plus a Chromecast for whatever apps my tv doesn’t have, or when I travel to someone’s house lol. Both of those are great tbh.
