      Hi Michael Saves can you do a Spanish bundle or live tv Spanish? Both expensive, cheap, and free live tv services.

    Currently I get Pluto TV and Tubi and yes they have ads but the ones you pay for including cable have ads too! Pluto has massive content, a great line-up and easy selection format. Tubi is really good for movies and have a much larger selection of movies. Love them both😁

    One problem with Peacock: It does get frustrating because sometimes you pick out what you think is a free show, only to find out that episode 2, or season 3, are paid premium channels, as the author mentioned. I just want to point out that it's not always so clear because I've been caught in the previous scenario. And I'm the type that, if I knew the binge channel show would eventually become paid (ie A.P. Bio had 3 seasons free, 4th season premium), I probably wouldn't have started watching in the first place.

    I have and use several of the free w/ads services you mentioned. One of the reasons I think TH-cam ranks so high on the Worst ad experience list is that ads seem to pop up almost at random, sometimes even mid-sentence. I don't mind the number of ads so much, but the ad placement is often annoying.

    Adds on TH-cam movies: I have watched a few TH-cam movies. There were no adds at all. These were movies hosted by TH-cam itself, not private uploaders. I was using Firefox browser with 3 of the popular add blocker browser extensions installed. I believe the add blockers on the Edge blocker will probably work too. Not surprisingly the add blockers on Google Chrome blocker did not seem to work nearly as well.
    Example very recently: Its a Mad Mad Mad World. 3 hour movie, not one single add.

    I have all these free apps, and I do watch them occasionally. However, after 25 plus years of being able to skip ads (first with VCRs and later with DVRs), even short, occasional ads irritate me.
    One thing you mentioned is short 10 minute episodes of some shows. With streaming videos, where there is no time slot to fill, there is no reason why all episodes have to be the same length. Let content dictate length. No more do writers have to pad stories to get a 45 minute episode if the story can be told in just 35 minutes. Or maybe some episodes deserve a longer length. With streaming, it doesn't matter.

    WHAT...ROKU guide is excellent? You may prefer its guide over Pluto?? That's just CRAZY talk!
    I just recently started playing with the free Live TV apps and I find Roku's guide to be the WORST of the bunch! While it does offer a good quantity of channels the quality of the interface is terrible. When you have over 100 channels category headings & the ability to save favorites is a MUST and despite be prompted to create a free account which specifically said I would be able to save favorites (on Roku app) THIS IS NOT THE CASE (at least on firestick).
    Furthermore, Pluto's app offers the ability to both sort by category & save favorite channels/shows(VOD). The interface is really quick & smooth & easy to use which makes Pluto's Live channels section the one I use most. I don't mink having to login/create account in order to get the better interface but I don't think I even had to login for Pluto.
    Xumo & Tubi also offer the also have the ability to sort & favorite although the interface is not as smooth.
    Freevee also offers over 250 channels but you can't access the Live TV section from within the app (I have yet to find it). You have to use the firesticks "LIVE" tab then drip down & click on the "Guide". Its a workable solution but its clunky process as you then have to leave the guide to open the app itself, etc which makes going back and forth between the apps (other Live channels can be added on a VERY LIMITED basis...which I don't really understand either) and the Live Guide.
    Appreciate the spirit of the vid even if it didn't apply in my situation (firestick). I assume the interface is much better on dedicated ROKU hardware.
