Vision IPTV extends reach to Roku
July 19, 2011
Vision IPTV has unveiled the latest addition to its suite of services for broadcasters: the addition of Roku capability to Vision IPTV’s platform for delivery of Internet TV and video. This enables broadcasters and video content owners to extend the reach of their broadcast services to more than one million homes in North America that have access to a Roku set top box.
The Roku streaming player is a cost effective way to access Internet TV and video, as well as on demand services like NetFlix and Hulu. Proving a huge success in the US, where it recently served its one billionth stream, Roku is expected to be available across Europe and beyond shortly.
Vision IPTV has extended the capability of its IPTV platform for broadcasters and content owners to include broadcast to Roku users, enabling channels or video on demand to be added to the Roku app store as subscription, pay-per-view or free to air.
