Pub-D-Hub is an old-timer on Roku - we first listed the channel on RokuGuide.com in 2010. Today, Pub-D-Hub is still providing access to hundreds of vintage public domain films, TV shows, commercials, cartoons, radio shows, ephemeral films and more.
The basic Pub-D-Hub channel provides a solid library of videos in the following categories (subscription offerings are discussed later in this review):
- Action/Adventure
- Cartoons
- Comedy
- Commercials
- Crime Drama
- Drama
- Educational
- Horror and Sci-Fi
- Old Time Radio
- Silent Films
- Thrillers/Suspense
- Westerns
While you'll find hundreds of titles on the free basic service, a subscription to Pub-D-Hub Gold will give you hundreds of additional titles, more episodes of classic TV shows, weekly updates, and the ability to search titles. Another subscription tier, Gold+, includes live streaming channels, additional categories such as Kids, City Nostalgia, Oldtime Religion, and Wonders & Tragedies, live radio streams, random play, playlists, and additional audiobooks.
