Happy National Streaming Day! (2015)

Today is your day, streamers. That’s right, it’s National Streaming Day! Today and every year on May 20. This just happens to also be the same day that the very first player ever to stream Netflix to the TV was introduced – it was called the Roku player.

Streaming is changing the way many of us consume entertainment by bringing more choice and control to TV viewing than ever before. Roku® customers streamed more than 3 billion hours in 2014! In the last year alone options like Sling TV, CBS All Access, Google Play and more have all made their way into the living room. Our comprehensive and unbiased search makes it easy to find what you want to watch, sorted by price, from top streaming channels – up to 17 today in the U.S.

Many of you joined us in celebrating the very first National Streaming Day last year. We loved the photos of your binge-watching sessions, tweets of your ambitious stream lists for the night and your nostalgic memories of the very first Roku player you purchased. This year let’s take it up a notch.
