I was looking at the Roku website and I thought about getting the Roku box for $99. My TV is HDMI compatible so it should hook up ok.

I just wonder what kind of channels I'll get without paying for other services like Hulu or Netflix.

The free choices are not much to write home about, but you can stream YouTube videos, and there’s a lot of good content there.

There are a few roku channels that provide free content, like Crackle. They generally have commercials but they don’t run for several minutes straight. Some, like A&E and PBS, have limited free content.... maybe a few episodes or seasons of their programming.

Best bet is to pick up a service like Netflix and/or Hulu.

Also, look at getting a HD digital antenna for network programming. We get quite a few channels with ours but mostly just watch local news and weekend sports.
