It is a scam,just like someone has a software problem and try to find help and went to a site which said it would solve the problem but you have to pay?

Yeah, that's what I think too. I just don't understand how you were directed to a scam page when trying to watch PBS on Roku.

Third party seller? Or google ad spam maybe. PBS is defo free and Roku you only should have to pay for no commercials.

as soon as I show up,it ask for my code,name and phone number ,then ask for 34.99 dollars?

I have PBS on my other TV set in another room,that TV set does not use Roku,it uses Windstream Kinetic receiver.
I get one receiver free ,but if I want another one for the TV set in the other room,I have to pay $9.99 a month extra.
Which I think is a waste of money,since I have Roku to stream most stations like Youtube,AMZN,NFLX,TUBI,etc ,why should I pay 9.99 to Winstream FOR A SECOND RECEIVER.
Of course I can unplug the receiver from one tv set and use it on another Tv ,but why bother?
Windstream has not been doing well,new households do not need landlines,they have their cell phones,but Windstream offers internet service and Dishnetwork TV so it manages to hold on to existing landline customers who want to surf on internet,a combo deal of landline phone,internet and TV,I pay like $135 a month with fast speed internet,

You don't have to pay any monthly fee to watch PBS. It's broadcast over the air for free just like it was in the 1950's.
You're talking about paying for a cable subscription which isn't necessary for channels you can pickup for free with an antenna. You can get an antenna from Walmart for $5 and then you'll have unlimited access to PBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and any other broadcast channels in your area.
This is the thing you need: 
No need to pay more money to anybody.

I look into Sling,it is no bargain either,so I just stay with Windstream for its package deal-phone,tv ,fast speed internet.
They have good service,ifI have a problem,they come same day,in 2-3 hours.
