Last month, Roku sent an email out to its developers, telling them that an exclusive deal with DISH meant it would be taking down independent apps for international content. With the launch of the satellite provider's DISHWorld international channels, which are available for $19.99 a month, some 25 apps were taken off the Roku Channel Store. While a number of Roku developers are upset with the takedown and have begun questioning the open nature of the platform, Roku CEO Anthony Wood said the decision will mean more, and higher-quality content available to users through the DISHWorld channel."In general, we still want Roku to be a super-open platform," Wood told me by phone today. But he said that in the case of international content, he said Dish is the largest provider of those channels both by satellite and, with its over-the-top channels on Roku, online.
