6. 30 days of complimentary HBO Max and Discovery+
Currently, Roku is running an entertainment offer that’s sure to please everyone in the family. For a limited time only, you’ll get a free 30-day subscription to both HBO Max and Discovery+ with the purchase of any Roku streaming player. This means you’ll be able to watch popular shows like the Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon, the HBO dark comedy hit series Barry, plenty of well-shot documentaries, and more.
Once you activate your brand-new Roku device, an offer will pop up on your TV screen to activate the offers. Follow the prompts to accept.
How often does Roku offer deals?
Roku offers special deals on its products year-round, but its best offers generally happen around the holidays. So if you’re thinking of getting a Roku device but aren’t in a rush, it’s worth waiting until Black Friday/Cyber Monday, or around Christmas time in general.
If you want to check out what deals Roku is running directly, check out the “Special Offers” section on their website.
Is Roku better than Amazon Fire TV?
Roku vs. Amazon Fire is the age-old question. Which is better? To be perfectly honest, there’s no right or wrong answer here. It all depends on you.
In a nutshell, when we compare the two devices, they aren’t so different. Roku devices start at a lower price point, at $17.99, while Fire TV sticks start at $19.99. This balances out since the premium Roku products are more expensive than the premium Amazon products, but they do offer more in terms of features.
Generally speaking, we’d recommend the Roku over the Amazon Fire TV if you prioritize having a highly intuitive platform, an easy to use remote control with a special lost remote finder, or want to take advantage of its long-range Wi-Fi feature.
What can you watch on Roku?
The amount of content you can watch on Roku is endless. First off, you can access a wide variety of streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Peacock, Crunchyroll, and many more. You can also use Roku to access live TV channels through streaming services like Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, and DirecTV Stream.
You can also watch content from various networks and cable channels through their individual apps, such as ABC, ESPN, and HBO. You can even pay for channels individually to access them on your Smart TV without subscribing to a whole streaming service.
There are also many other options for watching movies, TV shows, and other types of video content on Roku. For a full list of what’s available to watch on Roku, click here.
