THIS CHANNEL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE ROKU CHANNEL STORE.
RokuGuide Review: The DreamTV logo includes "fresh, unique & novel" as a tagline. Added to that should be "eclectic". DreamTV hosts content from a number of different produces and other sources, and the quality varies widely. You'll find content as varied as
public domain movies, the classic television show Sea Hunt, indie films, and mixed martial arts championships. Content is presented in 11 categories:
- Films
- TV Shows
- Documentary
- Travel
- Food
- Dadlabs
- Ambience
- Action Sports
- Shorts
- Technology
- Chess News
I started to provide a description of each category, but the offerings are so broad that most categories cannot be described in only a sentence or two. This is a good channel for exploration. Add it to your lineup and spend some time poking around each category - you'll probably find something you'll like.
The channel is free, but you'll see an advertisement at the start of each video. At the time of this review, this consisted of a banner add for the DreamTV website that appeared onscreen for a few seconds. Paying for a monthly subscription and the ad will be skipped.
DreamTV could benefit from a rework of its menu to the newer grid format, and it would help to have a "New Videos" category. A complete listing of available titles on the DreamTV website would also be useful, as users may get frustrated wading through so many unrelated titles to find something that interests them. Not everyone is an explorer willing to poke around as I suggested above.
DreamTV can be found under the Movies & TV category in the Roku Channel Store.
