The Roku Channel is adding 26 free movies in May – here’s the full list – BGR
Every month, streaming services add dozens of new TV shows and movies to their libraries. They do this in order to keep their subscribers around and entice new ones into signing up. But no matter how exciting these additions may be, there are far too many services for any of us to subscribe to them all. Thankfully, paid services aren’t the only option, as many free alternatives have started popping up all over. One of the best options is The Roku Channel, and the service is adding a bunch of free movies to its library in May.
Roku has plenty in store while we wait for SLIP, which is shaping up to be an awesome new Roku original.
