Roku Channel Recommendations
September 11, 2015 6:06 PM Subscribe
I am looking for recommendations for Roku channels to add.
Already have Netfix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, iTunes, and Plex up and running. Looking for more good channels anyone can recommend. Browsing around there is a lot of channels that are filled with either really short stuff or stuff that is basically ads for other stuff. Looking for longer content (I am ok with ads if reasonable). Basically I would like to stream stuff in the background which is informational but not requiring hitting a next button ever five minutes. But if there are totally awesome channels I should check out, I would be open to those too. Thanks!

Watch ESPN is good for sports, and not just mainstream stuff. I enjoy watching cricket on it, even though I don't have a clue what is going on in that game. I tried reading Wikipedia while I watched. It didn't help.
Crackle has free, unedited movies from Sony.'s back catalog.
Drive-In Classics runs old B-grade monster movies from the 50s and 60s.

We watch the CBS morning news - every night after dinner. We also use our roku to stream soft music pn Pandora for our quiet time after the news. It makes for a relaxing transition before bed.

Youtube. You can watch whole playlists without touching the remote.

Do you have any interest in video games? Twitch is endless and interesting.

If you have a cable company that supports it, FX Now gets you access to every Simpsons ever.

Nthing Crackle. Although IME the user interface leaves a lot to be desired, it has some good content. I loved Chosen, a Crackle original psychological thriller that is super intense and totally addictive.
