First of all, let me begin by saying that I love my Roku2 XS; it's a great device that has been welcomed into my home theater setup. At such a small size, its footprint is almost nonexistent, and having come from streaming through a PS3 with an absurdly loud fan, its silent operation is greatly appreciated.

Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from 'home' (residence) + 'theater' (place for watching films): it literally denotes a theater-style setup located in the home. This noun-noun compounding is common cross-linguistically (e.g., 'home cinema') and follows regular English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Home theater: The name home theater comes from the simple idea of bringing a theater into your home, where people set up a big screen and good speakers to watch films 'like a cinema'. So it means a system of video and sound equipment that makes watching movies at home feel like being in a cinema.
