Did you know that straight-out-of-the-box, your Roku device gives you free access to more than 350 live television channels? That’s more channels than many basic cable plans offer, which is why devices like our Roku Ultra are a favorite among cord-cutters. This incredible library of entertainment includes everything from news, sports, movies, popular TV shows, Spanish-language programming, and much more. And best of all, the selection is constantly expanding!
Where will I find all this awesome free television?
Simple — it’s all on the “Live TV Channel Guide” you’ll find as part of The Roku Channel.

In addition to the 350+ free channels you get as part of The Roku Channel, this is also where you can access any of the live/linear content available through your premium subscriptions. What’s more, if you have an antenna connected to your Roku TV, you’ll find all your over-the-air channels right there in the Live TV Channel Guide.
How do I access the Live TV Channel Guide?
The Live TV Channel Guide is easy to find:
- Once you’ve launched The Roku Channel, look for the “Live TV” tile on the Home Screen Menu. Selecting it will bring up the Live TV Channel Guide.
