5. Amazon Prime Movies: Members can choose from thousands of free streaming movies, TV shows, and many are available in HD. Not just any movies but quality documentaries from PBS, new movies, oldies, and TV Shows. Also, I’ve seen about a half dozen deals over this last year offering a free $5 credit for the Amazon movie store by linking your Twitter account.


6. Free TV: Over the air TV with a basic antenna (like the Paper Thin Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna) will give you a bunch of HD channels, many cool ones I didn’t even know existed. Channels 2-40 in the Utah area, including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, CW, QUBO, PBS, KUED and many more...

Free voicemail, Caller ID, and works with a standard home telephone.

9. Khan Academy: Another Roku Channel for College students, High School, Jr. High kids and…me, the Khan Academy channel breaks down the many forms of mathematics for a variety of students. These videos are easy to understand, it’s like I have my own math tutor, but for free. I owe my passing college math grades to Khan Academy.
