For retailers, Roku also makes the Bright Sign solid-state media player, designed to drive HD displays in a retail environment.

Announced May 20, 2008, Roku is the manufacturer for the first NetFlix streaming receiver box. The NXP-powered device runs LinuxOS, costs $99 and provides unlimited access to Netflix's streaming catalog, Amazon Video on Demand, and MLB.TV. Roku's Audio products do not use internal storage but rely on WiFi or EtherNet to stream digital audio over a network, either from Internet Radio or a computer attached to the same network. Roku introduced the Radio Roku Internet radio directory in August 2007. Radio Roku provides a directory of Internet stations, accessible from a web browser or from Sound Bridge players.
