"2,000+ channels in the U.S:
- Over 250,000 movies and TV episodes; plus music, news, sports, and more. It couldn't be easier to watch what you love.

Key things to know:
- Some channels require payment. Channel availability can change and varies by country."

can anyone tell me what channels can i pick up that dont need payment?
and if i want a paid service how can i get around it,eg get a sky tv account?
if thats possable

netflix/hulu that i know,need unotelly

"Search built around you:
- Roku Search makes it easy to see what's on, where you can watch it for free, with a subscription, or how much the different channels charge to rent or buy. Search by actor, title, or director using your remote. You can also use your smartphone with the free Roku app."

how does that work?
i just type in something and it will show where i can watch in? from netflix/hule(if i have a sub to them)or will i get free links?

and is it possable to stream movies form my pc to ruku wireless,

also can you stream from online sites?
and 3rd party apps like "popcorntime"
