¿¿¿??? Many TV stations transmit (stream) over the internet without the intrusion of Rokus and Netflixes and Hulus...

Of course. But I meant in Roku. It doesn’t help you to have a streaming app on your laptop if you want to watch it on your Roku TV.

 

This is exactly why mirror my phone.

The $20 Onn streaming box includes Goggle Chrome Cast, so it's simple to cast from a phone. Search for the program you want on the phone and cast. From that point, stopping/pausing, etc. can be handled from the remote.

Unless of course there's an irrational fear of using a phone in the process.

True, my demonstrated solution does require a 20 buck purchase of a piece of hardware about 3"×3"×¾" that plugs into the TV's HDMI connector and a 5v connection to either a USB plug pack or (probably) a USB connector on the back of the TV, but the pictures show it works and it will be invisible behind the TV.

They're like $200 at Target or Wallmart.

I picked up a 48" UHD Hisense (for use as a monitor) today at Walmart for forty 1980 dollars.
