Roku is also the place for original movies like Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. That includes some really good series, like Free Rayshawn and Reno 911. The Roku Channel has risen in our free streaming service rankings after adding all the originals from the now-defunct Quibi. And remembering that Peacock is better for more-recent content. Some of our staff lit up at that news, while others, well, we kept clicking around in Roku looking for something else.
But when it comes to having whole shows, you don't have series of that caliber, but stuff like This Old House instead. The best part of Roku Channel is that it often streams the first episodes of premium cable shows, like Game of Thrones, Billions, Outlander and Watchmen. The Roku Channel also rolled out a Roku Live TV Guide, so viewers can channel surf. Like the other services, it offers on-demand movies and TV shows. The Roku Channel doesn’t force you to register for an account (you can watch as a guest) but signing up allows you to continue watching content on another device. The Roku Channel app comes automatically with any Roku TV or device, but it’s also available for download on mobile phones and tablets.
