The Roku Streaming Stick+ features a quad-core processor and
delivers exceptional wireless performance with its advanced
wireless receiver that is innovatively built into the power cord.
This innovation offers up to four times the wireless range to
minimize buffering. It comes with a remote control that includes TV
power and volume buttons that can control compatible TV models,
eliminating the need to use a TV remote for these functions.
“The Roku Streaming Stick+ is the best streaming stick we have
ever made,” said Chas Smith, general manager of Roku TV and
Players. “It is packed with power, and features a remote that
controls both TV volume and power. It also includes voice search on
the remote for consumers to quickly discover new entertainment to
watch.”
As with other Roku streaming devices, the Roku Streaming Stick+
works with the free Roku mobile app, available for iOS® and
Android™, which acts as a remote, plays personal video, music or
photos from a mobile device on the TV, includes a keyboard and
offers features like voice search and private listening. Roku OS
8.1 will soon enable private listening for up to four devices
concurrently for Roku players and Roku TVs.
Roku devices are powered by the Roku OS and feature a simple
home screen with access to 5,000+ streaming channels, including
150,000 movies and TV episodes in Canada. Roku Search enables
consumers to discover new entertainment across top streaming
channels. Search a movie, TV show, actor or director and the Roku
OS will display where content is available and serve results in
order of price.
Availability and Pricing
The Roku Streaming Stick+ is expected to be available from
Walmart and other retailers starting in May. The Roku Streaming
Stick+ will be available for a suggested retail price of CAD 89,99.
The multi-user private listening feature will be available for Roku
players and Roku TV™ models and is expected to roll out in May.
