What is Roku app remote?

 

Stream Popular Movies And Series On The Go

Roku is a Video on Demand streaming TV content which is available to users and subscribers to the Roku service.

If you’re confused about what streaming channel to use, you should consider giving Roku a swing. The content on Roku measures up quite well to other streaming services. All you need to do is get yourself a Roku device. This gives you access to the Roku channel. 

This channel gives you the chance to enjoy free streaming for movies and television series. The app offers both live and on-demand streaming choices.

The Roku Channel has a variety of content which comprises on-demand movies, TV Series, live streaming television, and options for premium subscription. 


       


What does the Roku app do?

 

These are three features of the Roku app:

#1. Roku Originals:

The Roku Channel has waded into the waters of original content. This is a potential game changer, as it launches Roku firmly into the race for dominance in the streaming race. 

In 2021, Roku acquired the rights to the content created by Quibi, a subscription streaming service for $100 million. As a result, Roku now has access to original content from megastars like Kevin Hart, Chrissy Teigen, Chance the Rapper and Liam Hemsworth. Later on in the year, the Roku Originals Section went live with over 30 original titles added to the collection. More are expected in the future.

The shows include reboots of the MTV classic show Punk’d which is hosted by Chance the Rapper and Reno 911!, the Comedy Central hit show. As is applicable to other free streaming TV services in the industry, the on-demand library is a collection of well-known box office hits. Chances of you finding a popular new release are low, however that does not mean you shouldn’t enjoy dated content.

These are some of the more recognizable movies available in the Roku Library

  • The Wolf of Wall Street

  • The Devil Wears Prada

  • Rio

  • Man on Fire

  • Ghost

  • Hurt Locker

  • Very Convenient When you Misplace the Remote

    By Mystiquekitty (Pcmac user)

    I was very excited when I found out Roku made an app for the app iPhone. My remote is often knocked over by the app cats and lands under my wheelchair which makes it hard to find.
