The free choices are not much to write home about, but you can stream YouTube videos, and there’s a lot of good content there.
Also my experience. Have the high end one but don't use it much. I download YouTube vids to a USB and plug that into my DVD player.
What bugged me is that when you clicked on many of the channels, they only displayed a website that you had to visit to get an entry code - and then it didn't work. After a few round trips to the computer room, I gave up on 'em.
