This page will be dedicated to a general overview of the Roku OS, descriptions, and information related to the Roku Streaming Player.

Purchase

Buying devices is expensive and, in a lot of cases our testing leads to bricked equipment. If you would like to help support our group, site, and research please use one of the links below to purchase your next device.

GPL

Roku maintains a fairly accurate (but far from perfect) repository of GPL code which can be found at [roku.com/opensource].
