So what are these new features?
New Menu System
Menu Overlay
Roku is now making it easier to access menus as you stream. No longer will you have to exit out of the stream to access the menus because Roku now allows channel developers to put a menu overlay on top of a live stream.
Multiple Live Streams in One Channel
All of these features have been released to channel creators in just the last two weeks. We know at least three new Rokus are hitting the market this fall. With the timing of these updates and new Rokus on the way some believe that a new Roku OS will be a central part of the new Roku line.
