Roku player channel
Roku player is an extremely popular set top box offering HD quality for online streaming. Thanks to our support for Roku channels you can now reach its huge audience. Beside the excellent quality the player is offered at very attractive prices starting from around $70 and can be purchased from Amazon and other online stores.
Our VOD platform delivers ready to use scripts for publishing Roku channels which enable Roku users to enjoy your content. There are two methods of delivering the channels to users. One is by the use of private channels which require you to send to a user a PIN which represents your channel. After entering this PIN in the Roku interface your channel will be added to the user’s Roku account and ready to be used. Users can browse the catalogue, order movies and watch them.
Other method is publishing the channel on the Roku Channel Store which requires permission from the Roku. Once the channel is approved it will appear in the official Channel Store and become visible to all the Roku users. This method has a tremendous marketing impact.
