Roku is a great asset for my entertainment. This single device allows me to go through numerous shows, movies, games, and other services.
I have had Hulu on my Roku since I first added Roku to my TV. But with time, I felt like Hulu wasn’t offering much entertainment for the money I was paying, especially for my children.
So I decided to cancel my Hulu subscription and added Disney+ instead to my Roku as it offers much better shows for my children.
My first thought was that canceling it would be difficult. But much to my amazement, it was very easy to perform.
