Have you checked out the CNN International which is better than the US RAG...and the international news sites in English from Russia, France, Ireland, BBC and Germany?

Great sites and no Drug Commercials that last for 10 minutes. Plus the other good, quirky and informative content.

I think Roku will be killed off eventually, but I'm loving it for now.
