The Roku Streaming Player, or simply Roku (/ˈroʊkuː/ ROH-koo), is a series of digital media player set-top boxes manufactured by Roku, Inc.

Content is available from services such as Amazon Cloud Player, Amazon Video, Ameba TV, BBC iPlayer, Crunchyroll, Google Play Movies & TV, Hasbro Studios, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, MLB.TV, Netflix, Now TV (UK only), Pandora Radio, PBS, PlayStation Vue, Showtime Anytime, Tubi TV, Sling TV, TheBlaze, Time Warner Cable, Vudu, WWE Network, YouTube, and the ITV Hub.
