Roku Tees Up $12M Holiday Campaign to Compete With Apple TV, Xbox One

Roku need not look far to see the danger. TiVo once had the best brand and best technology in the space, but was reduced to also-ran status by a glut of good-enough DVRs distributed by cable and satellite operators.

But a recent report by market research firm Parks Associates suggested that Roku actually has a leg up in the U.S. Thirty-seven percent of 10,000 respondents who already had a streaming-video device said they primarily used Roku, compared to 24% who said they mostly used Apple TV.
