VideoBox Upgrades Roku Channel

SAN FRANCISCO—VideoBox has launched a significant upgrade to its successful Roku channel. With the new channel, viewers can manage their entire stash and browse or search VideoBox's immense catalogue of over 13,000 DVDs in standard definition and HD from over 100 studios. VideoBox's advanced recommendation engine makes browsing through such a massive amount of content simple, by offering suggestions based on past browsing experience and giving users access to "quick player" mode, which generates a continuous feed of suggested content for that user. This is VideoBox's second Roku channel; the first launched in March 2011. Since then, the company has accumulated thousands of Roku users with lots of valuable feedback. This latest iteration is the culmination of all that feedback. The most-requested feature amongst IPTV porn viewers is parental controls. VideoBox heard that call and took it to the next level, offering a user-configurable access control mechanism. But for the user seeking supreme discretion, they also offer an alternative version of the channel featuring discreet messaging and logo, so users won't have to worry about advertising their porn use on their Roku home screen. The VideoBox Roku channel is not just for straight people. For users who sign up for VideoBoxMEN, their Roku channel will switch to VBMen mode, delivering all the hottest gay content from across the industry. Unlike other Roku channels out there, VideoBox is adding new content every day. Base subscription users get five new titles on the straight site each day, and one new title on the gay site. The channel comes with a free 3-day trial. Users who already own a Roku can start their free trial by installing the channel here.
