The baseball, football, and hockey channels were missing as of last night.
At lease the MST3K channel is there. 
There are also some other less questionable channels missing like the āwebisodesā channel which unlike like the sports one should not even have licensing issues or restrictions.
I figure it is probably licensing issues. It would be nice to have those though.
If it is on Windows should be able to be on Roku.
Not necessarily, for example, Hulu offers more through the web / computer interfaces than they do through any of the streaming boxes or game systems.
I have noticed it is MUCH better the last 6 - 9 months than it was in the past but still, licensing varies.

It is VERY possible Pluto.tv is running into the same issue.
I was testing out PlutoTV on the FireTV last night, and I got the webisodes channel and the baseball, football, and hockey channel. I understand licensing being different via the web vs via tablets/TV, but I canāt see why Roku would have different licensing than FireTV.
Agreed, got me there, yep, that makes no sense. And I do hope they add some of the missing channels. Hopefully this is just the ābetaā release to get it out there and much more is on its way.
Maybe its a channel stability issue with the source media resolution or quality ?
Has copyrights on Adams Family expired?
Knowing how extension happy copyrights holders are I am guessing probably not.
Hey, got my Roku 3 to reboot tonight trying to bring up Pluto. Between Tablo, Sling, WatchESPN, Pluto and letās see, anything else? Iām starting to think the Roku needs to get replacedā¦And not by a Roku 4.
One of those $45 - $50 Nexus players posted elsewhere.
Do you have Crackle? It is by Sony and includes TJ Hooker and All In the Family among other classic shows.
And my Roku 4 rebooted while watching Acorn TV (British TV shows)ā¦
So yea, not a Roku 4!
Yay for Acorn! We love it. Especially Midsommer. Not just British shows but Aussie, New Zealand and Canadian.
Does anyone else see this behavior on Pluto TV:
- Watch a news clip: Starts playing normally, then abruptly advances to the next clip before finishing the one your watching.
Does this consistently for me on both Roku 3 and Roku 4ā¦
And Doc Martin!
Yup, my wifeās favorite tho I like the dogā¦ Morse is another one.

beastman - yep and Popcorn Flix is a good one too. So many choices, so little time.
I tried one and found it not worth the price and a bit slower on the Tablo screens. It went back. I think the Nexus is definitely the way Iām going next.
