The Roku Channel Begins Offering Premium Subscriptions 今天
本月早些时候， Roku 宣布会 begin offering premium channel subscriptions through The Roku Channel by the end of the month, and it just made it. 从今天开始, viewers can sign up for a selection of streaming services through The Roku Channel, adding new services with one click. Services purchased this way will be grouped into one convenient monthly bill, and can only be watched through The Roku Channel.
At launch, Roku's biggest offerings are Showtime, Starz, and Epix. It lists over 25 partner services in total, including Fandor Spotlight, 生活电影俱乐部, and Smithsonian Channel Plus. Anyone signing up for Showtime, Starz, or Epix by the end of March will get a 30-day trial.

Set-top boxes will get the update first, followed by Roku TVs. 移动观看, the Roku app on iOS devices will begin offering The Roku Channel today, while Android users can expect an app update in mid-February.
