If you have a current generation Roku player and live in the U.S., you can now get a new streaming channel to enjoy. Roku has announced that U.S. owners of its set top boxes can now get access to Showtime Anytime. That means you can watch all your favorite Showtime shows and catch up on past seasons you missed.
Showtime Anytime gives you access to all the series that Showtime offers like Ray Donovan. You can also use Showtime Anytime to watch movies being shown in any given month.
As with Showtime Anytime on any device, you do have to subscribe to Showtime on a participating cable or satellite provider in order to use the service. Participating providers include DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, and several others.

Roku TV Introduced
Posted in: Today's Chili
What a way to start off the new year with the introduction of Roku TV. Yes sir, the Roku TV is not just some sort of software, but rather, it is an actual TV itself, which has been specially designed in order to provide consumers with a simple and powerful entertainment experience considering how the world today is connected in many aspects. Well, Roku has touted to offer the most popular streaming players in America, and with the introduction of Roku TV, it would do away with all of the complicated layers and menus, not to mention unnecessary features and settings which happen to be part of the smart TV experience today. You will instead be greeted by a Roku home screen which will be able to merge all content sources, giving you full access to the Roku Channel Store that has over 31,000 movies and 1,200 channels which boast of TV shows, live sports in addition to news, music, kids, food, science, tech, fitness, foreign language and other programming .
Apart from that, the Roku TV will feature a mere 20 remote-controlled buttons, which is a whole lot less compared to those found on traditional TVs, working with the minimum without detracting from the original experience. In addition, Roku TV can be navigated using mobile devices thanks to the Roku app for iOS or Android, in addition to supporting casting standards that include DIAL. Fret not, the Roku players will still be made available alongside Roku TVs. [Press Release]
