OT probably.

I'm looking into Roku and I see there is the Roku Channel Store.

I gather one has to have channels to watch anything.

YES

But because I don't have a userid and password, I couldn't get to the
place in the Store where it might ask for money.

Do all the channels cost money?

No

Or only the ones I know cost money, like Netflix?

Does it cost to have Youtube as a channel, or Hulu?

Youtube, no; Hulu+, yes ($7.99/month)

And is it possible to just watch a video that someone puts on his own
website. Like if he has webspace nad he puts up my cousin's wedding.
Can I watch that with Roku? For free?

If he has created a channel, you can subscribe to it and watch whatever is
on it.


you can also mirror your smartphone (or perhaps other device) so you can
watch on the TV via ROKU anything you can watch on your smartphone.
