Rob,
I have one of the Roku boxes, and assuming the app selection is the same, here are a few of my favorites:
* News - CBSNews, they run a live feed, which is looped every half hour on slow news days, but the anchors get right to their desks for major late breaking stories, with in depth coverage
* Bloomberg News - free, live, business news
* PBS - most live programs are available for about two weeks on demand, so if you miss an episode of Nova or Masterpiece you have plenty of time to watch later. There’s also an extensive collection of older programs, and local programming from state PBS stations.
* Local News - if you want to check in on your old hometown, or places where family or friends live, there’s a substantial number of local stations offering their nightly news stories on demand. Get the latest on water main breaks in Sacramento, Cedar Rapids, Lexington...
