Roku Racks Up 7.6M in Monthly Active Users

Google's streaming stick gets second place honors in both number of devices shipped and actual in-home usage among media streamers, according to Parks. Chromecast has the advantage of being incredibly cheap ($35 or less), and it was the first to popularize the HTML adapter stick format.
