"The name Roku has become synonymous with streaming devices, but it has quietly become one of the best streaming services, too. For eight years, The Roku Channel has been one of the better free streaming options available. It hosts live content plus on-demand TV shows and movies, all for no charge ( Roku says it has "thousands of free TV shows and hit movies," plus more than 500 live TV channels)."
"The live TV category featured content such as Law & Order, Storage Wars, and Cops; channels dedicated to the MLB and NFL; classic shows like Gunsmoke and Little House on the Prairie; live news shows from Fox, CBS, ABC, and NBC; and a substantial amount of kids' content. It honestly felt a lot like the cable I remember from growing up. There was even a live sports category with a handful of college football games."
"I can honestly say I've never really tried to see what the app had to offer, and now that I have, I don't know why I waited so long. The on-demand TV show and movie sections were just as robust, offering things like Pawn Stars, The First 48, a large swath of documentaries, It, Titanic, and more. Other free streaming services exist, like Tubi,"
The Roku Channel provides free live TV, on-demand shows, and movies across almost any TV, computer, tablet, or phone, with Roku claiming thousands of free titles and over 500 live channels. Live offerings include law-enforcement and reality programming, dedicated MLB and NFL channels, classic series, broadcast news from major networks, kids' content, and a live sports category with college football. On-demand sections include reality staples, documentaries, and major films. The channel is often preinstalled on Roku devices and offers a competitive free alternative to services such as Tubi, delivering a cable-like viewing experience.
