Will Roku play itunes movies?

Miranda, I feel I didn't give you a good enough answer earlier and I don't want the contrarians to confuse you. Keep in mind that I am a Roku User/Owner and prefer the Roku to the Apple Product. I believe you are looking for a simple solution, not complicated? It is really going to come down to how much you're willing to do to make it work. If you want it to work out of the box with Apple Itunes... buy the Apple box. If your willing to do some server setups, file conversions and a fair amount of tinkering, then go with the Roku... you can make just about anything work with enough effort. The Roku will never have a native Itunes application as it is a competing device that is partnered with Amazon's VOD service. Because of this, and limitations of the Roku supported file types, there will never be a direct way to play things you purchase off of Itunes. I hope this helps.

I assume it does, I get netflix and other things from my blu-ray player but I see no reason why not. Though I don't know what a roku stick is, I'm assuming you mean their box. That's the best I can do.

Well, I assume that if their is itunes it would. Itunes in a program that I think would be the same through out the world. If you are asking if it will play and allow you to watch movies and what ever else you have on it, then it would only matter if you had the ports and the correct type of plug to give it power.

Yes. XDS is still supported. A firmeare update is issued now and then if it's needed. Regarding file formats...If your PC can view it, ROKU can move it to TV. Once you've connected a ROKU to the Internet, you can browse a STORE for new video providers, some free and some paid-for services such as Amazon, Youtube.com, TED, and many others. Some music services can also be found.

Yes it will. You need to download a software called Plex, it is available for both MAC and Windows. http://plexapp.com/. Once this is installed you can activate the PLEX channel on your Roku box. This will give access to all your iTunes video and audio.

I would say yes, but I do not own a ROKU and have not had the chance to try it.

no, Apple encoded movies are .mp4 or m4v files and they work wonderfully with the Roku BUT, and this is a big but, Apple adds DRM to movies purchased from iTunes so they only will work with Apple devices

Plex. Get the plex app in the roku store, download plex to your Itunes computer. DONE.

Not to my knowledge: however, when paired with a Roku device, you are good to go. I highly recommend this product.

Yes and no. There are numerous channels that you can watch on your Roku for free. Some of the best are Crackle, Pandora and the Smithsonian Channel. Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime each require a paid subscription. However, in the case of Amazon, if you have previously purchased digital content from them, you can access it via your Roku for free either through Amazon Instant Video or the Amazon Cloud Player.

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!
