FOX NOW

FOX NOWQuick Look: Subscribers to participating cable and satellite providers can watch the latest episodes of over a dozen of FOX's TV series on the FOX NOW Roku channel. Currently (July 2013) participating are AT&T Uverse, dish, Mediacom, and Verizon FiOS. All Roku users can watch promo videos, behind-the-scenes interviews, and clips, and other select content.

The following FOX shows were available as of January 2015 (subject to change):

  • American Idol
  • Animation Domination High-Def
  • Backstrom
  • Bob's Burgers
  • Bones
  • Brooklyn Nine-Nine
  • Empire
  • Family Guy
  • The Following
  • Glee
  • Gotham
  • Gracepoint
  • Hell's Kitchen
  • Hotel Hell
  • Kitchen Nightmares
  • MasterChef
  • MasterChef Junior
  • The Mindy Project
  • Mulaney
  • New Girl
  • Red Band Society
  • The Simpsons
  • Sleepy Hollow
  • So You Think You Can Dance
  • Specials on FOX
  • Wigs

The channel is ad-supported and doesn't have a lot of options, but you can select "Latest Episodes" or "Latest Clips" to see what's new without having to click through every series looking for new content. Also, FOX NOW joins a small group of Roku channels offering closed captioning for hearing impaired users, with the ability to activate closed captioning on a per-video basis.

There will be inevitable complaints that Fox isn't making this channel available on a subscription basis to all Roku users. But for those who don't subscribe to another service like Amazon Instant Video and haven't cut the cord (and are connected to one of a handful of service providers), FOX NOW offers a good option for keeping up with some popular shows without having to record on a DVR.
