New Roku OS 7.1 features

The new Roku Streaming Stick runs Roku OS 7.1, the latest version our operating system, which we also announced today. Roku OS 7.1 enhances the search and discovery experience by adding new categories within Roku Feed that enable you to view popular TV Shows and Movies in one place. Similar to the existing Movies Coming Soon feature, you can now easily view these new categories to discover popular movies and TV shows across a variety of streaming channels on our Roku platform. You can then choose to watch a popular movie or TV show immediately, or ‘Follow’ it in the Roku Feed to receive automatic updates when the price changes or the movie or TV show becomes available to watch for free.

Roku OS 7.1 will be available on the new Roku Streaming Stick when it begins shipping later this month. It will be rolled out to all other current-generation Roku players and Roku TV models through a software update over the next several weeks. Some features are not available in all countries.
