Roku Achieves New Streaming Milestone

Roku is more than happy – in fact, they are darn proud with the fact that they have already managed to sell a whopping sold 10 million Roku players in total over in the U.S., what an achievement that is! This is one huge milestone that Roku is thankful of achieving, and they are more than happy to thank all of their supporters for making it happen, as they continue in their quest to deliver (hopefully) the best streaming TV experience to the U.S. market.

Just to get a better bearing on what happened at the beginning, slightly more than half a dozen years ago, the first Roku player was shipped, allowing it to stream Netflix to the TV. Fast forward six years, and Roku players are more often than not synonymous with TV streaming.

In fact, the Roku players of today boast of over 1,800 channels, which is a cool 1,000 more channels compared to other streaming players, making the excuse “there’s nothing nice to watch on TV” obsolete. Roku also makes up the aggregate 37 million hours of video streamed each week – compared to Apple TV’s 15 million hours, Chromecast clocks in at 12 million hours, while Amazon Fire TV has half the amount of Chromecast. Do you have a Roku player at home? [Press Release]
