In other words, I'd like subscribers to be able to use my Public channel for free for a trial period of say...30 days.
Then after 30 days, I'd like them to be have the option to continue being a subscriber for a price (monthly, yearly, or one-time, etc.)

This is possible using an in-channel subscription - you create the subscription product in your account and set the free trial period. Then you present the user, after the channel is installed and launched with the 30 day trial, which will automatically convert to a subscription when the trial period has ended. Unlike the up-front subscription model, this allows more flexibility and has a higher conversion rate.

You will need to implement some functions in your channel to actually get a list of products, display them and then allow the user to initiate the purchase transaction, the user will need to of course approve the purchase and you need to handle both success and failure conditions. Also note that roChannelStore must have a port assigned to it in order to function properly. If you are tieing the purchase to a product on your server, for example to allow someone to buy on Roku and watch on IOS, then you should also look at our Web API and also Push Notification service.
