Rokus Streaming Stick Hooks Up With Hitachi, Mitsubishi, And Others To Make Dumb TVs Smart

roku streaming stickToday a bunch of consumer electronics partners have announced support for Roku's Streaming Stick, which will let them introduce streaming video services to users without a lot of upfront investment.At CES this year, Roku announced its new streaming stick, which is designed to let users quickly and easily make their dumb TV sets a little smarter. It's basically the equivalent of a Roku 2 XS, but in a much smaller, self-contained form factor. Using built-in WiFi and Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology, the USB-sized Roku Streaming Stick will plug into a TV that doesn't currently have connectivity and provide it with Roku-powered streaming video content. It'll draw power from the TV and work with customers' existing remote controls.
