Roku to add 'Xbox-like features' to set-top box

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 21 Aug 2009 1:26

Roku, creators of the Roku Digital Video Player, have announced that they will be redesigning the interface of their set-top player so it works more like the Netflix interface via an Xbox 360.

Microsoft updated the Netflix Xbox Live interface last week with the release of the Dashboard update.

Says Roku spokesman Brian Jacquet, via VideoBusiness, "browse and add functions for ordering Netflixs digital titles, similar to the new features on Xbox 360 will be integrated into Rokus new navigation."
