I bought this for my wife because she wanted to watch a channel "only available with Roku" as we were trying to cut the cord with our cable company

CBS All Access, ESPN (with the new ESPN+ which could NOT get on my old Apple TV's WatchESPN channel), HBO, and other channels like TheCW (which could NOT get on the old Apple TV), and Pluto TV (which has its own free tv lineup of channels including free movie channels, and some popular cable tv news channels), Crackle, the Roku TV channel, and news channels like CBSN, NBC News, ABC News, and NewsON (for news from your local tv station), and the CBS Sports HQ channel (the new digital sports headline news channel from CBS

but I think that pre rec’d, I would keep the basic news only on cable, they had lots of free channel which is cable charge you for

I purchased the Roku to have the convenience of streaming all my channels on one single device

I really like the Roku channels

and I now have access to multiple free channels.

streams channels fast & picture is great

First time I used, very easy to install and get into the different choices, good selection of free channels, movies and shows, I love it

Has all our favorite channels in one click.

works well just need more free interesting channels and news sites

I run my Cable through it and get a much better picture, plus so many free channels and free movies

It works great and now I'm enjoying all the Roku channels plus Amazon Prime & Hulu (plus my Antenna TV also).

Connection is fantastic and all the options of free channel helps it basically pay for itself

There are a bunch of free channels.

Wish I could enjoy local channels with it.

Can't wait to see all the awesome channels there are to come, as I improvised by setting a HD antenna outside on my roof for free television

All kinds of free channels and free stuff to watch

I love the UI and the Roku channel

Highly recommend getting a Netflix subscription with this product however there are tons of free channels if u can deal with frequent short commercials.

The free channels are great but adding fubo tv made this device great!

easy to use and many channels to choose from.

I ever spent lots of free channels too

So many channels, easy to set up

We've tried resetting, repositioning, changing the wireless channel being used, and a number of other suggestions from their forums to no avail

There are also free channels and content.

I bought this item that has SO many available channels.

Not as many available channels in Canada but works great.

It took a little figuring out the first night to get it all fully functioning as I wanted it, with the right "channels" and all that, but the time it took to get that all just right was minimal

Lots of free app channels.

Free channels are loaded w commercials, but that’s not the main issue.

This is one little power stick, it took me a while to decide because I sure didn't think this little thing would be so amazing, so many apps, and channels even channels from other countries in different languages, although you do have to have a computer or internet phone to go to the site and it sends you a code, it is super easy to setup, I highly recommend setting a pin code because you do have to put in your credit card info, you have to be very careful on what you are subscribing to I got charged way more on Sling than it said I had 3 different charges on just Sling, the free week is NOT free, but there's so many free apps and channels I love the Roku

There are a lot of free channels to choose from

It comes with lots of free movies, free channels

The amount of free channels, movies, etc is insane

I am missing some the channels and features I

really liked the ability to adhese to my tv and the free tv channels were a pleasant suprise

It does not allow one to browse the Internet, and see, for example, SyFy channel shows like The Magicians.

Wish we could free local channels like the old days for news extra but who knows what the future holds :)

I get all my channels and my amazon channels also easy set up and customizable home page

We love everything about Roku: the remote, the availability of free and paid channels, the ease of use, the quality of the picture, the ease of installation

I would recommend this - I look their channel as well.

The unit is fine and works well i am in ireland so cannot get the roku free channel on it due to my location.can rent or buy a film or pay for netflix.maybe roku will update so I can get a peek to see what's available will wait and see.in the meantime going back to my android box.have a smart tv so netflix app on it.and free films on my android box.may have to send it back to USA with a new owner we will see what rokuuuuuuuu will do.

There's still a great selection of free channels.......enjoy life!

many free and premium channels, great for cord cutters would like to see more channels even add supported.

All the other 'channels' are a waste in my opinion

Easily 10x faster navigation than the TV UI.I do wish Roku would do more to qualify channels.

Plug it in and we have instant access to Netflix and other subscriptions as well as extra channels on this

and it hangs up as in the video

Broadcast is as clear as if we had cable directly to the TV.

great as always

More shows for kids as well as for adults and you can see live TV too

I am sending this back very frustrated and disappointed that something touted as
