Media Fusion Announces Roku Channel

November 8th, 2010

More and more Churches these days are getting to a point where they are able to offer video archives of their sermons online.  With the Media Fusion tool we’ve taken that one step further and provided a console to host all of that media in one place (Video, Audio, Downloads) for an amazingly low price.  This let’s the smaller churches with smaller budgets implement professional solutions, without having to have a huge IT department on staff.

Well, we’ve now taken it one step further…. Media Fusion now has it’s own Roku channel! (If you are a current Media Fusion subscriber and have video sermons in your account, you are already listed in the Roku channel that will be available in the channel store starting Mid-November. Currently only subscribers who host their video with vimeo are able to be included)

What is Roku you may ask?  Well, the Roku set-top box is a way to bring digital content into a living room (Or Neighborhood Church!) over the internet.  All you need is an internet connection and a TV to connect to (and the roku box of course, prices start at 59.99 with no additional subscription fees).

With so many churches going multi-site and multi-campus, the question comes up… How do you share the same message between all sites?  You can burn DVD’s.  You can cart a laptop around and then struggle with getting it properly configured to go to a TV and/or sound system… Or Subscribe to Media Fusion and get a Roku Box!  For a comparatively small setup cost, your church and your message has now just gotten a lot more mobile!

In fact the prominent Christian Technology magazine Christian Video Magazine has made our strides to innovate with such things as the Roku channel and other new technologies the cover story for the october issue.  Check out an Excerpt here:
