How can developers make their channels available on Roku players?
There are currently two ways for developers to distribute their channels or applications to Roku players: • The first approach is to publish a channel to the Roku Channel Store, which makes it visible to all Roku customers (see “What is the Roku Channel Store”). Roku has various requirements for what types of content it will allow in the Channel Store. For example, currently no adult content is allowed. Also, channels must have content that can be used by all our customers. Content publishers must have the rights to the content the make available, and these rights are subject to review by Roku. For the fine print on what’s allowed in the Channel Store, see the Roku Channel Developer Agreement. • The second approach is to create a “Private Channel”, which the developer then distributes independently (see “What is a “Private Channel”). Roku does not restrict the distribution of private channels as long as they are in accordance with the terms of the Roku Channel Developer Agreement.
