Roku Netflix Player
The Roku Digital Video Player (also referred to as the Netflix Player by Roku) is one of the easiest ways to stream high quality video from Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand straight to your television.
While the Roku currently supports two major streaming movie providers (totaling more than 50,000 titles), it is designed to accommodate more. The Roku will receive periodic updates that will include additional “channels” to select from. All of this happens behind the scenes, making the Roku a simple, versatile video player. Set it up once and enjoy instant entertainment.
