Editor's Note: The Roku Channel is very good, but it could be so much greater considering it's twin across the border in the U.S. is a lot more full-featured than it is here in Canada. There are only 15 channels in the current Live TV lineup on the Roku Channel in Canada (compared to over 40 PLUS a live cable-box-like TV screen guide for the U.S. version), but it's still a great must-have app to install on any Roku device. Thank goodness for a great selection of classic library movies and TV series available on-demand that fill the gap for the lack of live channels. C- overall. -GB
