Roku sent an email to its customers on Monday to inform them that a dispute with Google could lead to the YouTube TV service being removed from Roku devices. According to Roku, Google is attempting to push "unfair terms" on the company that would negatively impact customers, and Google has threatened to take its streaming TV service off of Roku's platforms if the set-top box maker doesn't agree to these new terms.
Typical carrier disputes revolve around money, but in this case, Roku appears to be more concerned about alleged anti-competitive demands from Google, including preferential treatment of its apps. It is worth noting that while Roku set-top boxes and Roku TVs carry Google's apps, Roku is also a direct competitor, as its streaming boxes and sticks sit next to Chromecasts on store shelves, as do Roku OS TVs and Android TVs.
