You can watch free live TV on Roku via the Roku Channel or other free channels, or via subscription-based services.

Roku has just released an update to its TV devices that offers users 40 channels without paying a penny for the privilege.

Philo has announced that its free TV lineup continues to expand, with the addition of five new channels from Lionsgate and one from QVC Group, boosting the free channel count to over 110, live, ad-supported channels available without a subscription.
