There are a bunch, all roads lead back to Netflix.  Hopefully, I will learn of some new ones worth watching in this thread.

How much?  I just went to the Amazon Prime site and they do a very good job of hiding the cost.

You get free 2 day shipping on a lot of items and lots of movies.
After you have the membership you may still have to pay for some things like current seasons of TV shows or newly released movies.

I use Pandora, Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus.

I had been getting terrible bandwidth through Netflix so I cancelled them last week.  Hulu has been solid HD on all of the shows, I am just trying to get used to the different interface.

It will be hard to beat the Netflix interface, but I got tired of the 2/4 dot performance when I could load the same show a minute later from Amazon in HD almost instantly.

Nowhere TV has some interesting stuff including many local tv streams.

Eta: hulu+ chaps my ass with subscription fee AND commercials.

WatchESPN, MLBtv and DailyMotion are some that haven't been mentioned.

Also, youtube is now available on the Roku 3 and will soon be available on the others.

the freaking most annoying thing about roku is that you cant search channels

I subscribe to only one paid channel, Hulu+ does what I want.



Which ones you pick depend on what you are interested in watching.

I got a Roku 3 for the TV in the living room.The Roku 2 got moved into the Bedroom.Also Comcast dumped Soapnet from it's channel line up.My GF was PISSED OFF that was the only reason we kept the fucking premium cable bullshit.Now the GF wants to dump all the movie channels and to basic local.Which was the whole reason I bought the R2.

I was pleased to see that they have recently added a Youtube channel.

The ones I use mainly are Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Youtube (which has quite a few full length shows and movies).

They just added History channel an Lifetime. They also just added Disney Jr. For local channels I use Aereo on the Roku. All I need is AMC and I can be done with cable for good.
