The Roku Player

The Roku Player is a $100 set top box that streams movies and TV shows from Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand as well as live baseball via MLB.TV directly to your living room.

A Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand or MLB.TV account is required to use the box, but then you simply connect the box to the Internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, send a request to link the Roku player to the respective content provider and then the box is paired and you’re ready to start streaming from a library of over 50,000 combined titles and live and on demand baseball.
