The folks at Roku have been busy lately. When the first Netflix-enabled set-top Roku Digital Video Player debuted last June, its singular focus, easy interface and $99 price tag made it a popular early choice for getting internet video on the big screen. As more and more people are turning to the internet to watch their favorite content on demand, we’re seeing more content sources online — and Roku is moving quickly to keep up.
Just last month they enabled HD content from Netflix, previously available online only through Xbox Live. Now Roku has announced integration with Amazon’s new Video On Demand service, with access to instantly purchase, rent and watch digital movies and TV episodes. The new content is planned to go live “early in 2009.”
The Roku box is well respected for its easy setup. Features include built-in connections to wifi and to any television set using HDMI, component video, composite video, s-video, stereo audio or optical audio.
