C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts is the file you edit

add a line that says
roku 192.168.1.2

Note that the file 'hosts' doesn't have an extension so when you save it
using notepad you have to enclose it in quotes or it will save it as
hosts.txt

Name resolution takes place on the client, which in this case I assume
is your desktop workstation.  This means you need your workstation to
either resolve names via DNS or via some host-local file (/etc/hosts
on linux, I think maybe lmhosts on windows).  Either way, there's
nothing to be done on the HD1000.

Configuring your DNS server to resolve the name for you depends on
what you use for a DNS server.
