You don't get them realtime...but, we solved that with a pair of rabbit ears.

You can watch on demand content as of right now from some of the major channels. Ones such as lifetime and history, I think still require you to verify you subscribe to cable. We are not yet at a option to pay the network directly for access.

add a wineguard antenna, it grabs the live free HD signals over the air. NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, but no ESPN. $29 for the light one, as I am close to the towers. Also, check your TV, it needs a COAX input.

No, it doesn't have a normal tuner. It only gets over the air channels. I live 15 miles south of Dallas and I only get NBC and PBS consistently. Fox & ABC sometimes and never get CBS. There are some Spanish channels also, but I only know of Telemundo - sorry, I don't watch them so I can't list any of the others. There are no cable channels at all.

Look up BestTv online. It will give you a list. As long as you have internet, you wil get all the channels. I believe this is no matter what state you live in.

A lot of misinformation below. This DOES work with cable (in my case FIOS) assuming the digital stations are not encrypted by your provider. Almost all stations are encrypted outside of local networks like ABC, NBC, PBS, etc. So don't purchase this thinking you can bypass your providers set top box for things like HGTV, USA, TBS, ESPN, etc even if they are part of your plan. If all you need is local stations (like me) and stream everything else with Netflix and the like, this should work great (just clarify with your provider that your local stations are QAM-compatible and unencrypted).

Check each network on the computer for content they choose to air for free. After that you are looking at Hulu.com and Netflix and the other networks offered by the units you use for access. Each box offers different networks of television shows and movie channels with some overlap.

Not much local stations, seems to be radum major stations ABC, CBS,ect. around the U.S. You do get a lot of shows from HBO Showtime, ect. I mean a lot! But make sure befor you buy one that you have a very strong wifi provider, I learned the faster the wifi the better the quality, and will not buffer as much.

From disable cable.com: "Many people don't realize that if you live near a large or medium-sized city, and you have a modern flat-panel TV (made in 2006 or later), you should be able to receive hi-definition digital TV for FREE over the air by using an antenna. The stations available are the major networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, etc., plus PBS, plus local stations. Often the picture quality is BETTER than that of cable TV!" I see Fox in that line-up

Yep! Just be sure to ask for a multi-stream CableCard. It's easier to have them set it up, I think...

You can watch HGTV shows on the computer. ABC family channel Secret Life of the American Teenager and many others are available via computer streaming. We switched to low cost basic cable, with Netflix and a free 30 day trial to Hulu Plus. Using this ROKU box, and streaming other programs through your computer, will give you a lot of low cost entertainment.Many are in perfect HD. I think HDTV is standard def.

I am not sure what you are asking, but yes you can connect it to any tv providers to watch their channels if you have the subscription.

Depends on where you are. In a major city (where I am) I receive abc, nbc, cbs, 2 fox channels, ion, an old movie station, pbs, and some random ones like asian gospel and spanish stations. It's plenty for me. I imagine if you're out in the country you would receive less.

Sorry to say, those are all cable or satellite channels and only available through those services. I would like to have them without a Directv Subscription myself. Or at least pick then alacart instead of through their packages.

Yes, you can watch both as they have a app for netflix and hulu. Download it at the playstore.

Yes you can, also Hulu, Netflix and Amazon. I have had no problem streaming these.

I would certainly THINK so--you SHOULD be able to watch regular cable TV on ANY modern TV as far as I know. HOWEVER, I don't use cable nor satellite at all.

I cancelled my cable subscription but I'm still able to watch the free stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, and about 10 others). I use my Roku connected to my wireless router that is in turn connected to my internet provider. I now own two Roku boxes: one in the living room and one in the master bedroom.
