Roku to add search function for Amazon VOD

27 March 2009 1:20 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz

Roku to add search function for Amazon VOD Roku, the set-top box that allows users to stream movies and TV episodes from Netflix and Amazon, has confirmed that they are creating a search function that will make it much easier for users to access all 40,000 of Amazon's available digital titles.

The two companies are currently working on the on-screen search function and it is expected to go live soon, says Roku VP of consumer products Tim Twerdahl.

Earlier this month, Roku added the Amazon VOD support, but has received complaints as finding titles is tedious.
