ROKU fans will be in luck as hundreds of other channels will be unlocked for free viewing.
Viewers who use Roku on their streaming devices can already access tons of content on their devices for free – and now there will be even more options available.
While some premium channels, series, and movies still require a purchase or paid subscription, there is no shortage of free viewing options.
Roku devices allow users to stream video and sound from their phones, tablets, computers, or other devices directly to a compatible TV.
Several versions of Roku are available on the market today, including a professional-grade 4K option.
Buyers can find the most affordable option, a Roku Express HDfor just $19 on Amazon at the time of writing.
Most Roku owners know they can access the Featured Free category to discover some free content, but there are more ways to enjoy everything Roku has to offer.
There are three main tricks viewers can use to start enjoying thousands of other free movies and TV shows.
THE ROKU CHANNEL
Many Roku owners will already be familiar with the Roku Channel Store, easily accessible from the device’s selection of pre-installed apps.
O Roku Channel allows users to search their device or the Roku website to find free movies and TV shows already linked to their profile.
Users can also add ‘channels’ to their profile for easy access later.
This exclusive channel includes Roku Originals plus thousands of free movies and TV shows, over 150 live streaming TV channels, and a dedicated safe viewing area for kids.
FREE WEB CHANNELS
Tech-savvy Roku owners can find even more free views by searching the site.
But a list of free Roku channels may not immediately appear on your profile.
To add the list, log in to the website and click ‘Add channel’.
The list is automatically updated with new additions every 24 hours, so viewers may want to update the list manually if they need immediate access to a new channel.
To do this, go to Settings and click System > System update > Check now.
Once downloaded, channels should appear and be available on all of the user’s Roku-enabled devices.
The Roku Channel – what you need to know
Here’s the summary…
The Roku Channel is a streaming app available on multiple devices.
It offers more than 400 live TV channels.
And it promises more than 80,000 movies and TV shows on demand.
Roku says the app is available at:
- Roku streaming devices

Roku notes that the app is only available in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It’s also available in Mexico, but only on Roku devices.
THE LIVE TV GUIDE
Another free content option is to take advantage of Roku’s antenna-connected channels.
Live TV Channel Guide can combine Roku channels with “over-the-air” options to provide users with a seamless viewing experience.
Viewers can easily discover and watch hundreds of free movies and TV shows with just a few clicks.
Roku owners who combine their antenna setup with Roku will see their viewing options greatly expanded with “live” local programming.
