For those that want international news, (in English, and other languages) Roku has a large selection. For entertainment, I like Amazon because I am a prime member and there is quite alot for free.

Hi stardust3,
I was checking the Hulu plus site today but did not see any soccer channels. Are they in the channel store? Channels like GolTV, Fox soccer channel, ESPN deportes, etc. This could be an alternative to satellite if they had more channels, at least for those of us with "wifey" problems.
Thanks in advance.

IMHO Roku is not quite ready to 100% replace cable or satilite. There is no streaming local news and no 24 hour streaming national news. However if you have OTA it could easily eliminate the need for sat or cable...depending on your viewing habits/needs.
There seems to be more than enough free content, add $16/month for NETFLIX and HULU plus and there is potential to save quite a bit of cash, again depending on your households viewing habits.
I enjoy it. Just don't know if I could totally deal with out NESN and FoxNews

You may have to do a little searching, but the live international news channels are the only way to get news about what's happening in the US! Most of the international news channels deliver news only, not sensationalist talk shows! BBC (not BBC America), Eurovision, NHK, Fance 24, Russia Today, Al Jazeera and others are available on Roku in English 24/7. Fox News is available on Roku from 9am to 3 pm every day. CNN is also available in video update format. CNN International is also on a private stream. NBC News has a channel with all their news programs and along with every story from the nightly news, they have some stories that didn't make the 22 minute cut!

Several local TV stations stream their news broadcasts on public and private channels including stations from Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Chicago and others.
Is Roku a replacement for cable? No. I agree on this point. But lack of news alternatives is not one of the reasons for this.THERE= a place. not here - THEIR= belongs to them - THEY'RE = short for "They Are". THEN = a point in time; not now. - THAN = used to compare things.

If something is LOOSE you might LOSE it. Your=belongs to "you" You're short for "you are"
