Either somebody has stumped up some cash (Amazon) or Roku see having all 3 on their device as a sales advantage certainly is for me in the case of my parents in that Roku have earned an extra sale from me today.
This really does show that the constant refrain that this or that channel or service will not appear on this platform or that platform is just subjective and with no basis in fact.

However, I must say that this was a rather spectacular piece of news, coming so soon after your very certain remark that Amazon would not come to the Roku, Mike!

I'm glad that this is good news for you and your parents, I'm sure that your folks will get a lot of enjoyment with their Roku!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

If my other 3 assertions are completely rubbished before the end of the year then that's it I'll resign from the internet.

Seriously though I am genuinely surprised at Amazon being on Roku....especially with their new box being out. I would have expected Amazon to try and grow their hardware business in the wake of the phone failure....maybe they are making more from subs.

I'm sure they've done the math, Mike. By restricting the equipment on which a service can be viewed, they would be losing out on all those annual subscriptions. Don't forget that it is only a relatively small one-off charge for the Amazon stick.
