...Billy T, thanks for your info/input.  I also have my Roku 1 and a 2/m3100 (still using everyday. As new streaming channels pop-up I slowly am weeding out some older channels and adding ones that better fit my needs.  'FilmStruck'  TCM is a good one, plus it is offering 'Criterion' collection bund...

Any 'updates' yet on when FilmStruck channel might be added to Roku?

Britbox sounds good, a bit high on sub, but content will decide.  Comment made that Acorn is a bit stale...is too kind, I have been a subber since beginning.  Have gotten a lot of enjoyment from content at a fair monthly price...however 'very stale' is more correct.  This past year has just been a l...

Not really sure how Sling utilizes the commercials.  The ones I watched were legit.  I'm sure various ad companies offer various pkgs.  Maybe they do this sort of thing on 'special offers' and their 7 day free trial.  Since you have asked the question, hopefully a person or two that has Sling will g...

I signed on for the '2 day free' weekend with no problem, same as others noted, but also as another noted...Sling is overloaded with commercials.  A episode of Big Bang Theory (1/2 hr show had 10 ads at beginning another 10 halfway thru...that was enough for me, I shut it off.  In fairness, the ads ...

Just a nice thought...with 'mothers day' not too far off, why not you and family/friends treat her to a 'new' tv.   Her old tube set is certainly going to breakdown, and  would not be worth cost to repair, or even  done.  A new large screen tv is available for the same cost  or lower than what her o...

 Since the inception of any 'Ad-Rise' connected channel(s), I just ignore it.
They all seem to have too many problems/annoyances: ie; way to many ads, stalls, blank screens, no play , etc.

I thought that FOTV (Roku channel) was the ';rebranded' FilmOn.
I tried it, pretty much the same layout, including a 'film on' click-on. 
Never a big fan of FilmOn...and not of FOTV either.

 As noted on another thread" FOTV channel is just 'rebranded' from FILM ON channel.
You are correct, in that, a lot of 'niche' material.  Film On, (for me) is a lot of re-hash, much of it does not even play or que up properly, and tons of ads.

if I read the description correctly they stated they are using feeds from Filmon which does indeed stream those channels

Hi knuckle...thanks for leaving your info, it helps.

Anyone with a 'sub' to this new channel, any general info would be appreciated.

Is it just the TV Guide for UK programming ?...or does it stream shows via Roku ? I understand that the 'itv player' will not work in the USA.

Thank you.

Add me this list...as others stated, CBS Sports channel via Roku made my day of 'Super Bowl'. Not one problem thruout game...and it was a good one. CBS took a chance and broke the ice big time. Many thanks to all involved. I believe that the TV industry is finally understanding that 'internet' users...
