Use this when recommending a starting streaming approach from control, technical capacity, and speed priorities. Do not use to claim planned templates (Google TV, Fire TV, mobile, web, Apple TV) currently ship — only Roku ships as a standard MediaBlaster template.

## Important notes

Planning estimates are not binding quotes.

Roku approval and review timing are controlled by Roku; tools help prepare, they do not guarantee approval.

Only the Roku app template ships as a standard MediaBlaster product today. Other platforms are planned, not shipping.
