AirCastLive app transforms Roku boxes into video and photo sharing services for Father's Day

Introducing AirCastLive from AirCastLive on Vimeo.

A new promo from Roku and AirCastLive are running through this Father's Day that will let you use your smartphone to send or exchange video messages with Dad using your Roku or other STB.

Roku is offering $10 off of a Roku 3 for Dad, while AirCastLive is making its app - normally $5 - available for free from June 9 through June 16.

AirCastLive is an app that turns your Roku (or Google TV) into something more than just a streaming media box - it's now a way to instantly send and share video or photos with friends and family. Families can easily share video they've taken with their smartphones and immediately send it to Dad (or themselves) to view on a larger "life size" screen - much more preferable for important events. 

 

AirCastLive is the only video messaging service that lets you send video from your smartphone directly to another person's Roku-enabled TV from anywhere in the world. In other words, you can take a video of baby's first steps or a family get together using your phone, then send it directly to Dad's TV, where he receives it as a video message.

Unlike Chromecast or AirPlay, you're not restricted to the home network or even your own TV - you can send video from anywhere to any person regardless of location.
