Roku is basically an easy way to stream internet content to your tv. There are several internet based services that are free but there are also services that you pay for.

For movies, Netflix, Amazon and Vudu are good ones. Amazon requires a prime membership which is I think around 80 bucks a year but also gets you free 2 day shipping from amazon.com. Netflix is around 10 to 20 bucks a month (I think)depending on whether you want streaming and/or dvds. Vudu you only pay for what you watch. These services all usually offer various TV programs as well.

There are literally hundreds (maybe now thousands) of internet services that have sprung up and been ported to the roku platform.

Thanks.
I have two fairly old TVs, neither is HD.
The Sony has great sound and picture.
I'm not sure about my Internet, but I'm 30 miles away from a city of any size, so I doubt it's over 5G.

I hate to change from Directv, but I really want the BlazeTV, and my parents like FDR, and I lik,e HBO and Starz.
But I'm tired of paying for liberal channels that I don't like.
