They reached an eleventh hour deal.

I wrote a note to Roku customer service politely telling them that if they followed through with this jackass stunt, they'd find two fewer Roku devices in use come Monday.
It's as if they watched millions of people get pissed with their cable companies over the past decade or two and went "Hey: we gotta get us a piece of that!"

This piece, which I saw linked to on a Verge article, makes for interesting reading. Roku is still losing money because they sell the hardware so cheaply, but they're aggressive in their demands from channels because they have a dominant share of the streaming market:
In the UK, Roku would seem to be much smaller. They power Now TV boxes (Sky's streaming offering for cord-cutters/nevers, which is also providing the streaming technology that will seemingly power Peacock), but I reckon Amazon has the lion's share here. I don't think I've seen a TV with Roku built in either.
