The service is known as The Roku Channel.
It features a revolving selection of TV shows and movies.
And some are names you’ll recognise too.
The Exorcist, Robocop, Farscape, Storage Hunters and America’s Next Top Model are on the list.
For the kids you’ll even find Wallace & Gromit’s Cracking Contraptions, Shaun The Sheep and All Dogs Go To Heaven.
The Roku Channel is available as an app on Hisense TVs, Asda‘s Polaroid Roku TVs, Now TV and Sky Q.
Roku recently announced that it is broadening a partnership with NBCUniversal to launch even more channels so look out for even more coming soon.
