My Roku box just got a little bit better

[freeradical]

Roku has been adding free channels. Some of them are kind of interesting.

They recently added a channel called "Newscaster". It features content from the following sources:

CBS
NBC
CNN
NASA
CNET
Current
ESPN
FOX
C-SPAN
NPR
PRI
BBC

Some of the channels are audio only, while others have video.

I watched some of "Meet the Press" on the NBC channel.

What Roku needs to do, is make deals with these sources to get more content. I wouldn't mind paying for stuff like this on an a la carte basis.

Cable companies beware, your days of being a monopoly are numbered...
