The Hammer Falls On XTV Once Again



The Hammer Falls on XTV Once Again

Best XTV Replacements






For years it seemed XTV was the most talked about private channel on Roku. Then one day the hammer fell and their channel which had more content then hundreds of other public channels put together was shut down and removed by Roku.

There was a huge outcry in the Roku community because the channel they had come to love and rely on for watching free old sitcoms, newer shows, movies, local channels and even live TV stations was suddenly gone. Shut down by Roku for reported copyright infringement.







The developer not to be completely deterred, once again released a second version of the channel. This time the newer content and live TV content was removed along with other infringing content. 

The content that was left was old public domaine content where the copyright had long ago expired. These were shows from 40 years ago. Pretty much the same content that can currently be found on a large portion of other public Roku channels along with ads which the XTV2 channel did not have. 

Apparently, something was still amiss because Roku once again decided to remove this second version of the XTV channel as well. Roku must have had their reasons and while those that may have enjoyed the older content will once again be feeling a deep sense of loss.

Others have simply moved on to many other great channels still freely available on the Roku platform.

A reminder for those that may be new to Roku, good channels come and go. Those of you that owned a Roku for a long time may remember the Justin TV channel, another great channel that people really enjoyed at the time and which also was eventually shut down. While a good channel you once loved may be gone, most of the time it's replaced with something else and the cycle continues.

Enjoy your Roku, you can bet there is still a lot of great free content to watch. Just as much as on any other platform if you know where to find it. You just need to know where to look
