We have a Samsung smart TV and it had the YouTube TV app so no Roku there.

On two older TVs (not smart, but had HDMI port). I got the Roku Stick (volume & On/Off button) and the Roku Express (no bells/whistles). I've never got the Stick to turn the TV on/off, but volume works (no mute FWIW). The Express works fine.

Does a ROKU stick entail monthly fees after purchase? -- Atlee Hokie 01/29/2019 11:42PM

Beware...at my last check, Youtube TV still wasn't sympatico with Roku -- JoesterVT 01/30/2019 08:38AM

I wish I could find a number to talk to the You Tube TV people. -- Atlee Hokie 01/30/2019 09:02AM

I have a couple of Roku Sticks at my house and YoutubeTV works great. -- Jackie VT 01/30/2019 08:54AM

No fees, but they did just introduce premium subscription services. -- Hokie360 01/30/2019 08:22AM

No just the up front cost of buying it -- OrangeHokieFan 01/30/2019 12:28AM

Correct, but obviously the apps on the ROKU could cost you, depending on -- Late 80s Hokie 01/30/2019 07:36AM
