About

Roku manufactures set-top boxes and streaming hardware that lets you turn any television into a smart TV, and recently just launched its own series of TVs with its beloved smart software built in. It also licenses its software to manufacturers like Hisense and TCL, and operates a streaming service called The Roku Channel.
