the roku box came out of Netflix - I won't be surprised if they still have stakes there.

it's more about keeping their data for themselves, sharing is caring and they just don't :)

Roku shipped their HD1000 "Photobridge" video playing STB several years before Netflix introduced their streaming product. I know it was able to display 1080P MPEG transport streams at the very least.
