I work on the TV team at Roku, building software for our smart TV platform. We've been shipping versions of Roku OS for our TV partners since 2014, and the first TVs enabled with Roku OS are still getting regular updates here in 2018, as are most of our streaming boxes (any released after summer 2011). Plus, if you end up not liking the Roku TV smart features, you can always factory-reset the TV and run it in unconnected mode.
- tatersolid 9y agoI love my Roku sticks, nice work. That said can you still push software updates without manufacturer involvement? That is “big Linux kernel bug, no need to wait for TCL/Sharp/Philips to approve or block the patches after we’ve done the QA”? Or is it more like the (very bad) patching situation with android devices, where the hardware vendors delay or simply ignore upstream patches?
