The future of television starts with apps and channels.

With Roku, it's easier than ever to stream your favorite shows or programs. With all the games and apps to navigate through, it can become a bit overwhelming to decide what to download. Below are some tips on apps to check out:

1. KIRO 7 News (free)

Of course, we have to start with this one! Now, it's easier than ever to watch our live newscast FREE on Roku with the KIRO 7 News app. And if you missed us, you can also catch the recorded newscast when we are not live.

2. CBS All Access

You can watch 24/7 digital streaming news, as well as on demand video from CBS's awarding winning news programs such as CBS Evening News, 60 Minutes, 48 Hours and more. Click here for instructions for adding CBS All Access to your Roku Streaming Player.

3. Les Mills On Demand

You don't need to have a gym membership or equipment to be able to exercise. With this channel, you can workout with fitness classes in your living room. You can try Les Mills for free at lesmillsondemand.com.

4. Virtual fireplace

This winter, sip a cup of hot chocolate while relaxing next to a virtual fireplace. This channel comes with crackling sounds, too! (You can also see a Yule Log on the KIRO 7 channel!)

5. Netflix (Channel is free)

This one is obvious. As you know, you have to have a paid subscription, but you can try it for free for a month. Check out this New York Times article to read about the new shows and movies that were just released on Netflix.
