    Parents Moving forward with tumbling block on beam

    Parents How to watch Classics

    I saw a schedule where Classics will be televised on the Olympic channel but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Has anyone figured out how to get the Olympic Channel without a cable/satellite subscription? It's not showing up as an option on my Roku. I'd much rather watch on my TV than laptop...
