Sky has made a further $1.9m (€1.44m) equity investment in Roku, a platform which delivers over-the-top (OTT) services via streaming devices.
This follows the investment of $10 million made by Sky in July 2012, and is to provide financing for Roku’s operations and activities.
Launched in 2008, Roku is one of the US’s leading TV-streaming platforms using stand-alone internet TV set-top boxes.
Last year, Roku also launched in the UK and Ireland. The service currently features more than 300 channels in the UK and Ireland, including on-demand movies and programmes from Sky’s Now TV, Netflix and BBC iPlayer.
