IGN - More so than ever, television viewers have ditched the life of a cable subscriber for a world of video streaming. With a growing number of options to enjoy content over your internet connection, choices are aplenty, but for someone without game consoles or Blu-Ray players with streaming capabilities, or those who would rather not add additional wear and tear to their devices, a set-top box is the next best bet.
Pocket-Lint: Clive Hudson, the European head of Roku, has told Pocket-lint that his new streaming box, the Roku 2 XS which launched in the UK last month, is great for people who don't want to go down the Apple path.
Pocket-Lint: TV is changing, and it's happening quickly. As recently as 10 years ago, the idea of TV being delivered over the internet was a pipe dream. Now, we can watch near-broadcast quality video, streamed to us over the internet with a wait of just a few seconds.
This all has profound implications for the TV industry, but also for companies like Roku who have developed boxes to stop you watching broadcast TV, and switch instead to TV on demand, delivered over IP.
