Very interesting article. Everything is not as rosey as it seems when you delve into the inner workings of ROKU, is what I got out of that USA Today piece. They are a major force though.

Seems like they are after a cut of the subscriptions. I also think this has been in the making for sometime and why the early partnering with Viva was a Strategic alliance for both.

This article really makes me wonder now about the advertising on the Viva app. We have had Roku for about 4 years now. We put the Viva app on our tv and from the get go, on about 95% of the channels, the very first add is about a Roku device. We have NEVER seen an add on Roku on any other app that we downloaded from the internet.

My question to the board, is this, the ones with paid subscriptions, are the adds on you're phones and computers.

I brought up the advertising through the Viva app and this article is starting to bring to light MAYBE the reason that the Viva app has all this advertising on it. Makes perfect sense to me. This is why my gut is telling me that we will merge with Roku.
