New Roku 2 Streaming Media Player (4210R) with Faster Processor





Great!
Roku updated the Roku 2 and Roku 3. The new Roku 2 is basically the old Roku 3 - but they removed a couple of features. The new Roku 2 is IR only - no more wifi-direct remote so you need line of sight now and no headphone jack in the remote. The Roku 2 is also HDMI only - it WILL NOT work with a CRT TV. I have no idea if Amazon is going to start transparently selling the new Roku 2 if you buy from this page or if this will continue to be the product page for the "older" Roku 2. The older Roku 2 has a model number of 2720R you can find that one here http://fave.co/1cgYIuK and apparently the new one is 4210R, obviously here:

It looks like the only "current" Roku that will work with a CRT TV is the Roku 1, which (as far as I can tell) is just slower than the "new" Roku 2 but still has composite video output.

SETUP
Easy-peasy. Choose language, sign in to network, create an account. Done in 5 minutes.

Trounces the competition.
The Roku 2 /3 crushes the other popular streaming devices. Mainly because it doesn't favor any service over any other. It gives you every possible search result, unlike Apple TV and Fire TV which pushes you to use their service, even if its say....available for streaming on Netflix.

I cant help but laugh that people take off stars because they feel it should come with an HDMI cable and some sort of universal mounting bracket. Even funnier that they go out an buy some $10 - $20 mounting bracket when a 10 cent piece of velcro works just as good if not better.

PS. If potential customers actually took 30 seconds to look at the Roku web site, it shows whats included in the box. Do a little homework and save yourself some grief.


Same processor as Roku 3, but with a LOWER PRICE
I bought the new Roku 2 and the new Roku 3. (Yes - I love this stuff.) I think I'll return the Roku 3. The new Roku 2 includes a lightning fast processor (which is actually the same processor as the new Roku 3, but with a lower price tag). The best feature of Roku 2 is that it shows you the cheapest source for each movie, which can save a lot of money in the long run. (The new Roku 3 also has this feature, but Apple TV and Fire TV do not.)

MAIN NEW FEATURES
Faster processor – The main reason to buy a Roku 2 is that it has a really fast processor at a cheap price. The fast processor makes moving through menu options to find shows very fast. It also has shorter loading times (if your internet connection is quick enough). After using this processor, going back to a slower processor would drive me crazy.

Other new features … The new Roku 2 does not have many other substantial new features, but still includes the many great features that Roku...
