You sit in front of the TV and are eager to discover and watch a new TV show or blockbuster. But which one? You just binged your way through multiple seasons of Narcos and Orange is the New Black… and now you have to make a choice.

We know how you feel, we have been there before, and we have the ultimate solution for you: Roku Search.

When we launched Roku Search back in in 2013, we wanted to offer you a comprehensive and unbiased way to search across top streaming channels. Today, we feature 20 channels in the U.S. and growing- , including Acorn TV, Amazon Instant Video, Blockbuster On Demand, CBS All Access, CinemaNow, Crackle, Fox NOW, FXNOW, HBO Go, Hulu, M-GO, Met Opera on Demand, Nat Geo TV, Netflix, Popcornflix, Roku Recommends, SnagFilms, STARZ Play, Time Warner Cable and Vudu. On top of having so many channels in search, we present you with all search results in an unbiased way: with free options on top, followed by free with a subscription and then options to rent or buy with pricing displayed so you can pick the option that’s best for you.

You can search for movie and TV shows as well as actors and directors. You liked the performance of an actor in a movie that you watched recently? Check out their filmography to find new entertainment to watch!

Let’s say you are a big Matt Damon fan. Just type ‘Matt’ in Roku Search and he appears on top of the search results. No less than 50 movies are available starring Matt Damon, of which Interstellar and The Monuments Men are his most recent appearances. Just click on the movie that you would like to see and discover that for example Interstellar is now available for only $ 0.99 from Vudu and Amazon Instant Video and that The Monuments Man is free with your subscription if you are a STARZ Play or Time Warner Cable subscriber.

Earlier this year we made discovering new entertainment even more fun by adding voice search to the Roku 3 streaming player and within the Roku mobile app for use across all current-generation Roku players and Roku TVs. Speak into the remote control or your mobile device and get results. Found something you like to watch? Simply click play on the remote or in the app and it will play on your Roku player or Roku TV!

Of course we don’t expect you to do all the work to find what to watch. The “My Feed” feature, which we introduced earlier this year, lets you discover new entertainment. In the ‘Movies Coming Soon’ window view Box Office Hits soon available for streaming. Simply “Follow” the ones you like and receive a notification when they are available for streaming. This is just the beginning of My Feed; we have lots of ideas!
