About Roku OS
Streaming isn’t just one thing we do—it’s all we do. We built the Roku operating system (OS) specifically for streaming TV with one goal in mind—getting you to the entertainment you love quickly and conveniently. The Roku home screen puts you in control with the entertainment you love front and center. You’re always just a click away from your favorite channels, useful features like search, and quick access to quality free entertainment with Featured Free. Everything about the Roku OS is designed with ease in mind. That means smooth setup, a simple home screen anyone can use, your favorite entertainment at your fingertips, and automatic updates with new features so your device gets even better over time. With endless free entertainment available to stream, the Roku OS helps your dollars go further. It’s easy to save with 250,000+ free movies and TV episodes, 150+ live channels on The Roku Channel, and search results ranked by price.
