Roku doorway to Amazon VOD
March 5, 2009
Roku, maker of the popular Roku digital video player, has revealed that its customers can now watch movies and TV shows from Amazon Video On Demand. With Amazon Video On Demand, Roku customers can for the first time purchase or rent new release movies the same day they are released on DVD and watch commercial-free TV shows the day after they air– all from Amazon's library of more than 40,000 movie and TV titles.
The compact Roku player connects directly the TV and uses a broadband Internet connection to deliver DVD-quality video instantly.
