- VMedia’s IPTV service is coming to Roku devices in Canada

- Starting September 16th, however, VMedia is launching a dedicated Roku app in Canada, allowing users to stream 20 live television channels, including content from both Canadian and U.S. networks like, CTV, CBC, Global, ICI, TVA, V, CBS, NBC, ABX Fox and PBS, all in high definition.
- The service is available via a free seven-day trial with a regular subscription costing $17.85 per month. VMedia says that the subscription requires no contract, hardware installation or credit check.
- While VMedia landing on the Roku is a great move by the company, launching multiple apps with similar design language across platforms like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and even the new Apple TV, would have even more impact for Canadian cord cutters.
