YouTube TV is now available on Roku, adding more competition to an already-crowded field of live TV streaming services dominated by Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, and PlayStation Vue. While YouTube TV doesn't stand out in terms of price and channel lineup, it does offer an excellent user interface and some nice bonuses like unlimited cloud DVR and six logins per account. But don't look for it on the YouTube channel, it's on a whole new YouTube TV channel.

Redbox shut down their Redbox Instant by Verizon service in 2014, but tested a re-entry to video streaming with an invitation-only service earlier this year. That test must have gone well because Redbox is now extending their beta service to all Roku users, and users of several other streaming platforms.

ESPN and 29 sister television networks, including ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, and ESPN Deportes, are available on Roku. Here we explain how to get the various ESPN networks on Roku. Spoiler alert: None of the options are free unless you already get ESPN through a pay TV subscription.

Philo, a sports-free streaming TV service that is "focused on entertainment, lifestyle and knowledge programming," is the latest entrant in the live TV streaming service wars. At launch, Roku is the only set-top box supported, but subscribers can also stream through web browsers and an iOS app.

Roku's US customers now have access to the Deezer streaming music service with more than 43 million on-demand music tracks from record labels that include EMI, Sony, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. Similar to Spotify, the European-based Deezer allows unlimited streaming and the ability to select any song. Deezer was previously available on Roku only in Europe, and will soon be available to Roku users in Latin American countries as well.
