The microSD and USB ports are there because the NOW TV boxes uses the same hardware that Roku use for other models in their range.

 

On the equivalent Roku model (Roku2) a microSD card is used for storing additional apps when internal memory is full, and a USB device can be used for photos, videos and music, but on the NOW TV box these functions are removed and so the slots have no functional use.

 

The slots are still there as it's cheaper than making a new mould with the ports removed.
