The Roku Channel is available in the U.S.

If you ever decide to expand your choices, the Roku Channel is now home to several premium subscription options including Showtime, Epix, Cinemax, AMC, and Starz. You’ll need to create a free Roku account before you can watch, but that’s a quick and painless process.

It also has a special Not on Netflix section to help you find movies that aren’t available on your other streaming subscription. The service boasts more than 40,000 movies and TV shows to choose from, including favorites such as Die Hard, Edward Scissorhands, and The Silence of the Lambs, as well as a number of new and old TV series, from The Dick Van Dyke Show and Bewitched to The Bachelorette. Now, however, the Roku Channel is available to anyone via the web, as well as through the company’s free apps for iOS and Android. Roku devices certainly won’t break the bank, but they aren’t free.

When Roku initially launched its free, ad-supported Roku Channel, it wasn’t technically eligible for this roundup because you had to have one of the company’s streaming media devices to see it.
