MediaBlaster vs Instant TV Channel: source workflow or hosted builder?
MediaBlaster connects a WordPress library to downloadable Roku app source. Instant TV Channel is the better fit when you prefer its hosted builder workflow and do not want to work with app source.
Current scope
- No hard-coded competitor prices
- Verify current plans on the official site
- Both approaches require evaluating Roku submission responsibilities
Two ways to approach a Roku channel
| Consideration | MediaBlaster | Instant TV Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Content backend | Your WordPress site with MediaBlaster | Hosted builder workflow; verify current details officially |
| App foundation | Downloadable Roku source template | Builder-managed approach |
| Technical involvement | Comfort with WordPress and developer tools helps | Better suited to users seeking a hosted builder |
| Platform roadmap | Roku available; other MediaBlaster templates planned | Verify current platform support on the official site |
| Best fit | Ownership and editable Roku foundation | Hosted builder convenience |
Instant TV Channel is the better fit when a hosted Roku builder is more important to you than keeping WordPress as the backend and editing the app source foundation.
