Can Roku Stream and Play iTunes Movies and TV Shows?

Will Roku play itunes movies? Hi. I am trying to decide weather to buy Roku or AppleTv. I was wondering if anyone knows if the Roku will play movies I have purchased in itunes. Thanks!

You're probably going to want a streaming device for your TV, and Roku remains the most popular against Apple TV and Google Chromecast. Which provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With more channels than any other streaming player.

It's faster and more powerful. With up to 1080p HD video* and extended-range, dual-band wireless performance for increased speed. Use the included in-ear headphones to crank up that late-night flick while the kids (or parents) sleep. All units manufactured after October 2014 include a remote control that features four quick-access buttons providing one-touch access to Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Rdio, and Hulu. What's more, you can find your favorite movies and TV shows all from one place from top TV and Movie services like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or Hulu Plus. 2000+ channels and growing. It's the best selection of streaming out there.

Roku gives you more options than Apple TV does and it continues to add new channels all the time at a much faster clip than the latter. However, 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. Apple doesn't want you using Roku. They don't get any revenue from Roku. So they want you to use (translation: buy) Apple stuff instead. And they force you to, by adding their DRM. If you buy something from Apple, don't expect it to work on anything except Apple. That's their corporate philosophy. Customer lock-in. That's why so many Apples users chose Roku for their home screen and were disappointed with the fact that their iTunes movies and TV shows cannot be streamed with Roku.
