Everything about the Internet Revolution is innovative and game changing. Before the computer and the Web, and before the computer left the work place and headed home for entertaining, we had television and its advancements, including cable and satellite for television programming, and VCR and DVD players for movies.

The idea of integrating the Internet with television – the set top box – to enable the individual to watch media through the Internet connection was a huge leap forward and pioneered by Roku.

Roku offered the first receiver developed to deploy movies instantly from Netflix to your television using the technology of the Internet. Now famous and continuously evolving, Roku players stream over 300 channels to your TV with over 100,000 movies available, and once you purchase it, you own it – no monthly bill.

Streamed Media

One of the many game-changing advancements in the Internet has been the idea of streamed media, as opposed to downloaded media. This innovation has opened the door for a continuous field of advancing ideas in all kinds of communication and media systems integration. With Streaming, there is no wait time, no need to save data, you simply stream and watch instantly any time with a WiFi connection. It’s like the best assets of television and the Internet combined.

Roku Revolution

By way of definition, Roku offers a digital video player with built-in wireless adapter that supports High Definition (HD up to 720 pixels (p)(HD), and Roku XD and XDS up to 1080p of HD). The Roku is designed to connect with home wireless networks and can also connect to a wired network connection. It supports multiple video standards including HDMI, component video and composite video output. It can connect to either a CRT television or an HDTV. It has a simple set-up and is cost effective. Roku is designed with offered channels, but can be coded for private channels as well. The addition of Live Streaming to Roku takes things to an entirely different level. It brings all the advantages of personal broadcasting into your living room.
