I haven't posted here mostly because there are currently 528 "public channels" on Roku and maybe over a thousand "private channels." Some of the free public channels certainly have limited appeal such as Beautiful Homes of Los Angeles. You can access the lists through a site called RokuGuide.com. It's possible that 10% of the public channels might be interesting if I took the time to sort through them all, but I haven't. There are certainly many free or ad-supported channels to peruse.
List of Legal Free Streaming Services
Okay, right off the top... No, I'm not speaking in code. NOT looking to discuss anything about VPNs or other dodgy ways of getting streaming content.
Also, I'm not counting things like free trials... where you sign up and get 1 free month before service kicks in at the regular rate.
I'm talking legit free, no cost at all streaming services. Is there a comprehensive list of such things anywhere?
I know of Crackle, and ShoutTV. I've been trying to poke around the Internet in search of these things, but unfortunately whenever you type "free" and "streaming" most of the links come up to dodgy sites that aren't what I'm looking for.
So, if anyone has any lists of sites where you can link and watch legit/legal free streaming content on a computer, smartTV, or mobile device... please drop comments in this thread and I can start to try and maintain some kind of list going forward.

Are Roku "channels" equivalent to apps?

Thanks.Yes, they are "apps."
I'm actually doing the free trial so I can check out "One Piece." So far enjoying both the quality on Funimation along with "One Piece" as well.FunimationNow is great for anime as well. You can watch anime free with ads or register a free account for some additional features (like bookmarks, watchlists, watching ad supported TV-MA content)

If you have a Samsung TV there is Samsung Plus TV.
Don't forget that your local library may offer Hoopla and Kanopy streaming. This is very from library district.
