It's the perfect solution if you're tired of forking out for expensive TV subscriptions every month.

There's now a long list of apps that don't ask for a penny from you.

Instead, they support their free content libraries by showing you advertisements.

So if you're willing to sit through commercials, you can watch almost endless live channels, TV shows, and movies.

ROKU'S LIST OF FREE APPS

In a special memo to customers, Roku reveals how to get "more bang for your buck".

"Even though your Roku device has scores of premium channels (Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, etc.), there are plenty of free options in the Roku Channel Store that offer awesome movies and TV shows," said Roku's Bill Wilson.

"To get you the very best free content, we’ve asked our friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit and compiled a list of our community’s favorite free channels."

Here's the list:

• The Roku Channel
• Pluto
• Amazon Freevee
• Tubi
• Kanopy
• Viki
• Vix
• This Old House
• MST3K
• FilmRise
• Hoopla
• Adult Swim
• PBS

Most of these apps offer at least some free content supported by ads.

And PBS has the advantage of having zero commercials – although you'll need to donate for some content.

Unsurprisingly, Roku's own offering was at the top of the list.

One customer wrote, "The Roku Channel is my favorite free channel.

"With a great mix of shows and limited commercials, I find shows there that are either not available on main streaming channels or are high priced per episode.

"Minimal interruptions make watching the Roku Channel a great alternative."

Amazon's own Freevee channel is also available on Roku devices, serving up an enormous library of content.

That's only fair, as The Roku Channel can be downloaded on Amazon Fire TV Sticks.
