We are pleased to announce that Movie Vault is now available on Roku. This is something that has been in the works for a while and before we go into whats including and whats coming, I wanted to give a little personal insight on this lovely little box.
I have personally owned a Roku since almost day one. All it really was in the beginning was a way to stream Netflix content and soon took a back-burner to the Xbox, PS3, Wii, and every other device that offered Netflix content as well. Over the last year, Roku has come on strong with a new focus on embracing developers, opening a true “store” system, and releasing three new models. Now the little box that felt like it was struggling has emerged as what I think is probably the best reason to cut cable on the market. With a low price point and super simple interface it is probably the most attractive internet TV box out there.
So what’s included…
There are over one thousand movies in the library all available at no additional cost to you. They range from really obscure classics to great B horror flicks. Check out some great films from John Wayne, Jack Nicholson, Vincent Price, and many others. All the content features original cover art and full listings of Actors, Directors, and Plots. Here is a sample screenshot of the video listing.
And what’s coming…
We are quickly going to be adding a Search functionality to the channel and also moving to streaming to accelerate playback. Let us know if you have any ideas for new features. We will also try and keep content updated as we find new/great stuff.
So go get your classic movie fix for only $3.99 on your Roku device from the Channel Store now!! And make sure you give us a 5 star rating when you find you love it!!
Update 1/30/2011 - Note that we launched the app at a $1.99 monthly subscription, but due to customer feedback we decided to switch to a one-time purchase model on Thursday 1/27. It seems like most customers didn’t like the idea of automatically getting billed every month. Thanks for all the feedback!
