But Roku offers the app called "locast.org" for a subscription "donation" of $5.50 per month. Locast airs the main Orlando channels. However, Locast is being sued by the networks (ABC, NBC, etc.) for streaming their content, so I don't know how long this app will work.

I wonder why the networks don't stream their own content to reach rural areas. Maybe FCC rules?
