Redbox

Redbox was a free ad-supported video streaming service with dozens of live streaming channels and on demand movies. Users could also rent or buy movies through the platform. The service shut down in 2024.

Starting in 2002, Redbox began offering DVDs through its iconic kiosks. The company launched Redbox On Demand in 2018 to deliver a broader selection of movies and TV shows via video-on-demand.

Streaming rentals typically cost $1.99-$5.99, though you could sometimes rent theatrical releases early for $19.99. Purchases were often $9.99-$19.99. Users could sometimes get a discount by purchasing movie bundles. Older films were usually less expensive than new releases.

Apple TV
