Roku creates a badge to certify devices working with a Roku TV model

Roku this month introduced a new certification program that attributes a badge - Roku TV Ready - to partners that want to test and certify their devices.

Roku says products displaying the Roku TV Ready badge on packaging have been tested and certified to work effortlessly with a Roku TV model.

The first electronics brands to exhibit the badge will be TCL North America, Sound United, Polk Audio, Marantz, Definitive Technology, and Classé.

Soundbars and audio/video receivers that are Roku TV Ready, enable users to control them by using the Roku remote. Roku TV Ready devices are also instantly recognized by the Roku TV and the Roku TV configures itself for the audio device.
