Sony has announced the expansion of its PlayStation Vue internet TV service to Roku products. The cloud based streaming platform is now available on Roku media players, Roku Stick, and Roku TVs. In addition, the service is set to launch on Android smartphones and tablets next week
PlayStation Vue offers live and on demand content from a growing collection of channels. The platform enables viewers to easily search through available programming with an intuitive interface and convenient personal recommendations.
