--Company Recently Announced that It Had Sold Over a Million of its Streaming Players
 OTT specialist, Roku, said Tuesday that it has served its one billionth stream of content. The company recently announced that it had sold over a million of its streaming players, the entry-level model of which is priced at $59.99.
According to Roku, last month its players averaged over 11 hours of viewing time per week--a significant amount of time, the company says, when one takes into account that the average viewer watches around 36 hours of TV per week. "A billion streams is pretty amazing and shows just how engaged our customers are with their Roku players," Roku founder and CEO, Anthony Wood, said in a prepared statement. "If you think about it, our active user base now matches that of a top-10 US cable company. Our core values of
simplicity, great content and affordability clearly resonate with mainstream customers."
Roku claims that its players provide access to over 100,000 movies and TV shows from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand and Hulu Plus; live and on-demand sports and highlights from MLB.TV, NHL GameCenter Live and NBA GameTime; music from Pandora, MP3tunes, MOG and TuneIn Radio; and news and entertainment from "thousands of sources around the world." According to the company, the devices now offer over 130 unique streaming entertainment channels. The devices also support photo and video sharing from Flickr and Facebook.
