It is amazing how many channels are on that Roku ! ! I added on someof the ones that I thought might be okay for watching something when I am exercising; but I can see that a person that liked just sitting and watching television would be in TV Heaven with one of these gadgets ! Movies, radio, pictures, and just about everything else that you can think of, some are free and some cost money; but the selection is HUGE ! I have not even looked through everything yet, it is that big, and that many channels.
That's why I love it. I pretty much never sit down and just watch television but I have something on all the while that I'm working, and that's pretty much all day and up until I go to bed at midnight or two in the morning.
Our Panasonic is a so-called smart TV, whicch I haven't connected to the web. Reason- the software can be "managed" from elsewhere. I use a PC or laptop for the Internet.

Smart TVs are a nasty piece of work.
