SyFy comes to Roku
There is a common misconception that all computer geeks are rabid science fiction fans. While some of them certainly are, it is definitely just a stereotype. As a self-proclaimed computer geek, I can confirm that I don't enjoy many science fiction films or television shows. Some are good, but a lot of them are just cheesy and lame.
Speaking of cheesy, the SyFy network is known for showing low-quality TV movies, like the infamous Sharknado. The network also has some decent original TV shows, however. Today, the TV channel's content comes to Roku with 'SyFy Now'.
"Do you have a favorite genre you often flock to? I typically love anything that falls in the sci-fi genre, which is why I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that Syfy Now is on Roku players and Roku TV models in the U.S. Today Roku customers in the U.S. who authenticate via their pay TV provider can stream full seasons, current and past episodes, short form clips and other programming from Syfy", says Bernarda Duarte, Director, Content Acquisition, Roku.
Duarte further says, "Syfy Now delivers Syfy's dynamic lineup of science fiction and fantasy entertainment, including the breakout hit drama The Magicians, critically-acclaimed thrillers 12 Monkeys and The Expanse, as well as the network's long-running reality program Face Off and latest series Hunters".
SyFy Now shares the following Roku features.
- Full episode viewing when you sign in with your TV provider account
- Selected full episodes without signing in, when available
- Save your favorite shows for quick access to the latest episodes
- Can't finish an episode in one sitting? The app saves your place!
- Special clips, interviews and behind the scenes video
