A:AnswerNo, your cable comes in through the cable input on the TV and that particular input becomes one of the "channels" or apps on the Roku menu. Roku itself doesn't require a subscription of any kind, it's a device as opposed to a service.

A:AnswerYou have to create a free account with Roku and then you can browse Roku channels and add them. Many channels are free. Some content like Netflix, Hulu or HBO would require a separate subscription with those individual companies. If you are wanting to get a "Smart TV" I highly recommend a Ruko enabled TV over standard Smart TV. You will have a better experience and access to more content.
A:AnswerThere is no "Roku" service, the Roku is the device. There are thousands and thousands of available apps on Roku that you can download. Some are free, some are paid. Some require a subscription, some don't. For example, you can download the Netflix app or the Hulu app, but you'll have to subscribe to those specific services. You can download the Crackle channel (a Sony channel) and there is no subscription required, but you'll be watching ads with your content. Another example is the PBS Kids channel, which is free to download and free to use. You can add more channels, as many as you'd like.
