Roku has added the Sharp brand to the Roku TV program. Sharp Roku TV models will soon be available for purchase exclusively at Best Buy stores as well as at BestBuy.ca. Available in 43" and 50" screen sizes, Sharp Roku TV models represent a new generation of smart TVs that are built using the Roku TV reference design and feature the Roku operating system (Roku OS).

The Roku TV home screen can be personalized with icons for favorite TV entertainment choices, including devices such as game consoles, cable boxes and Blu-ray players, together with favorite streaming channels.

Roku TV provides access to the Roku Channel Store, which includes more than 1,400 available streaming channels in Canada. Streaming channels available on the Roku platform feature movies and TV episodes plus live sports, music, news, fitness, and much more. In addition, consumers can use Roku Search to find availability and pricing for movies and TV shows across many top streaming channels. They can also search for actors and directors and view filmographies.

Roku TV models also feature Roku Feed, a new feature that lets consumers know when favorite entertainment becomes available to stream — and at what price. When browsing within Movies Coming Soon, consumers can "Follow" popular in-theater movies they are interested in and Roku will deliver automatic updates when relevant streaming information about the movie becomes available. Updates are provided when a movie is first released to streaming, becomes available from additional streaming channels or changes price.

Roku TVs come with a remote designed especially for the Roku OS. This simple remote control has half the buttons of a traditional TV remote and includes a directional pad for additional convenience. Roku TV can also be controlled with a mobile device using the free Roku mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. The iOS and Android versions also support voice search. I
