While many of us continue to enjoy the rogue Roku YouTube channel that Google asked to be removed, we finally have word of official support that would enable new customers to partake:
We are working on the channel and know just how much our customers want it. Hopefully, I’ll have a date for launch soon, but it’s on the calendar for this year.
Compared to the competition (Apple TV, Netgear, WDTV, Sony, etc) Roku has been sorely lacking in the YouTube department. Not sure if the hold up has been related to licensing fees, technological issues, or disinterest, but it’s good to see a blessed YouTube offering on the horizon.
