That is, not a stick that plugs into a USB port. I had to find my own services.

As well as walk to and from school uphill both ways in snow over my head.

What are you interested in? For free movies, try Plex, which, even if it doesn’t have the movie you want to watch for free, has a search engine that tells you what app, if any, does have the movie, and whether it has it for free.

Tubi and Freevee are also free movie apps. The Roku app itself has hundreds of channels.

You won’t believe what-all is on there. You’ll cut watching normal TV by about 95 percent.

A lot of the programming on the free apps is repetitive; that is, the same shows that run on MeTV, for example.
Enjoy.

Right now I am watching the Australian series "City Homicide". It has 4 seasons, and I'm on my last season. Hate for it to end. 😬

I enjoy British series, so I also downloaded the British TV app. Many good ones there.

Many choices for streaming. Enjoy!

6. If you preferred channel isn't on the menu, you can search for it and add it.

My Roku came with so many channels already on the home page I deleted some and then moved what I watch most to the top of the page.To do this I think it was - hold the okay button over a channel and a pop-up menu asks you where you want to move it to. Scroll to the top and click again and that should put it at the top of your home page.

If you donated to PBS you can access a lot of their online programs. There is a lot of "free" stuff there. Enjoy non-commercial streaming!
