Another new feature in the What to Watch area is a Save List, which allows you to save material for later viewing.
Roku is also introducing The Buzz to its home page menu, which seems to be a combination of social networking and entertainment. The streamer describes it as a “constantly updated collection of postings” with snippets, trailers, and interviews that viewers may “like,” save to watch later or begin streaming. AMC Plus, Apple TV Plus, Showtime, Starz, and others are among the launch partners.
The voice capability on Roku devices will also get a minor improvement. When more than one app qualifies for a voice search result, a popup comes displaying all of them, and you may choose “the second one,” for example, to open it. The Live channel directory is expanding to include categories such as Recents, Favorites, and Subscribed, as well as genres, however, it does not link with live TV streaming services such as Sling TV or YouTube TV.
