Does Roku have a list of free channels?

[JWS9518]

There is a featured free section and a live TV section on the home page where you can search through.  There are also a number of free apps, such as Pluto and others that have free options as well.  You can also search for specific channels and/or shows, and they will tell you if they are free or require a subscription.  Some channels/apps may be restricted depending on where you located and there may be instances where some things are not available, even if they show up.

Hi, @rcketsci 

We appreciate your post here in the Roku Community.

The Roku Channel offers hundreds of free movies that you can watch anytime in the comfort of your home or through the Roku mobile app. This is a great way to start your Roku streaming experience, enjoying the hundreds of movies for free.

For more information, you can visit The Roku Channel. 

In addition, the Live TV Channel Guide is your one-stop portal to all the great live TV your Roku device has to offer. In addition to the 350+ free channels you get as part of The Roku Channel, this is also where you can access any of the live/linear content available through your premium subscriptions. 

The Live TV Channel Guide is easy to find:

• Once you’ve launched The Roku Channel, look for the “Live TV” tile on the Home Screen Menu. Selecting it will bring up the Live TV Channel Guide.
• Already watching live/linear content? Then simply pressing the left arrow on your remote will bring up the guide.

We hope this information helps, and let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Thanks,
Kash
