Signing up for paid subscriptions, such as Netflix, is optional. Just keep in mind that the free channels may not include everything that you want.
How do I get started with Roku,,,what to do, how to do? I have to give up cable, too expensive, cannot afford anymore. Local channels? Roku has many free channels apps that can include local channels for your region for free. We have many other guides that can help, too. Does that mean only the Roku Express will work, but none of the ones with K4? You could pop your TV model into Google and search for the specifications.

If you go with the 5-Series, you'll get Dolby Vision support and image quality comparable to more expensive models from LG and Samsung, not to mention the easy-to-navigate Roku interface.
It's one of our favorite TVs right now. If you can throw in a few extra Franklins, the 6-Series is an upgrade, but this is still a great purchase. Even the sleekest smart TVs benefit from a separate streaming device to accommodate all the apps you want in an easy-to-navigate interface.

It's a box, not a streaming stick; it supports Ethernet for wired connectivity. Like the Streaming Stick 4K, it supports Dolby Vision and also has a few nifty remote features including an improved bundled controller that has a headphone jack and two programmable buttons plus a remote finder feature to help you locate it when it inevitably gets lost under the couch.
Most will be happy saving the extra cash and getting an Express 4K Plus or Streaming Stick 4K, but if you want the best Roku has to offer, the Ultra is for you.
