I’m just working with Roku, Tablo, and Sling TV for the last three days, so there’s a LOT I’m struggling to learn well enough and quick enough to cut Dish Network and “go free” before the last day of February.
I’m a big fan of MSNBC. I’ve tried googling and i’ve looked online at msnbc.com, but I cannot find a quick and easy way to watch MSNBC. I’m seeing so many google results and other links to “msnbc,” that I’m really confused. But no where have I found a streaming version that I can actually watch MSNBC programming. Even the sites with “day old” feeds of the major prime time msnbc programming aren’t easy to figure out and work with.
Anyone else an msnbc “junky”? Or at least helpful to a newbie??
MSNBC is not available on either Tablo or Sling TV. However, I believe the PlutoTV app has MSNBC or at least parts of it available as one of it’s news feeds. It’s available on Roku, Android and PC and probably IOS as well.
Edit: I decided to check it out and it looks to be repeating segments from NBC and MSNBC so although it’s not the full channel, it might get you enough of it to keep you sane
Thanks for the responses. I’m digging around in Roku’s channels, including Pluto, to see what I can find. It helps that my broadband internet comes from a provider which gains me login privileges to some streaming services, i.e., like WatchESPN and I THINK something with MSNBC. I just discovered that, but I’m having a devil of a time getting the login to work and figuring out how to access it on MSNBC.
(Just gotta keep telling myself, once it’s all in place and I tell Dish goodbye I’ll be saving $50+ per month!)
I too had an unpleasant experience with going “cold turkey” from MSNBC after my ISP discontinued their cable service (and no other wired cable source was available locally).
I began with Sling, but had a Kafka-esque experience in which Sling got $120 of my money and I got nothing. Over the course of MANY phone calls, I requested 3 months of free service and would have paid their fee thereafter, but Sling has (hopefully “had” by now) a policy of never refunding after getting your money (or in my case, providing the 3 months that I never got). If you want to go this route anyway, you’ll need to subscribe to the news package on top of the basic service. You might want to also add the DVR service if you don’t want your TV-watching times to be dictated by the clock (and would like to FF through the commercials).
Pluto is a little quirky, in that you end up getting only parts of each show and also a day late. But for the price of FREE . . . yeah, much better than no Chris, Rachel, Lawrence and Brian at all. Plus Chuck Todd, Ari Melber and Chris Matthews.
Pluto TV, channel 110. You can find the Pluto app on Fire TV, Roku, Android TV, Kodi, all of them. You also get a couple tons of free movies, TV shows and extras.
