On the night of September 23 I wrote one platform-neutral spec of the Roku channel: launch, pairing, the data, layout, timeline, popup, planner, remote keys, timers, sounds, settings and every on-screen string, as numbered items that cite the Roku code.
Two reviewers re-read the Roku source against it and found 64 problems. I checked each one against the code and fixed the ones that were real. Fire TV, Google TV and Apple TV each get a folder and a port plan that follow the spec. None of them are available yet; they're coming soon.
