What is streaming?

Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the
Internet, or located on a network-connected media server or on a USB device
plugged into the TV's USB port.
With streaming, you can buy or rent most programs on demand, when it's convenient
for you, and you can also watch live streaming channels and events. Also, you can
play, pause, rewind, and fast forward most on-demand streaming programs.
Tip: Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live
programming or a program that is supported by ads, you might not be allowed to skip
the ads.
Your Roku TV lets you choose from thousands of streaming channels that offer a
huge selection of entertainment:
• Thousands of movies and TV episodes, both live and on-demand
• Unlimited music, live and on-demand
•
Tons of live and on-demand sports
•
Commercial-free programming for kids and family
• International programming in 22 languages

Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels let you purchase or rent
the latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels charge a monthly
subscription fee and others are available at no additional cost if you subscribe to a
companion service through your cable or satellite provider.
If you have an existing subscription to a streaming provider, you can just sign in with
your existing user name and password.
