There's no denying that video on demand (VOD) through over-the-top devices like Roku and Amazon Fire TV have transformed the way we watch television. But sometimes it's nice to just turn on a channel and watch whatever is being broadcast without wading through thousands of choices to pick a single video. If you're looking for a traditional TV viewing experience, one where you can channel surf and don't have to select from thousands of video-on-demand options, Pluto TV, recently launched on Roku, may be what you need.

In addition to the 41 new channels launched in the Roku Channel Store through Thursday of this week, another 31 channels were launched on Friday, bringing content in the categories of Comedy, Games, Lifestyle, Movies & TV, Music, Religious, Special Interest, Sports, and Travel to the Roku.

Sling TV has added the independent cable channel Outside Television to their $5-per-month Sports Extra pack. The channel features surfing, skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, adventure travel and many other extreme sports and outdoor living topics.
