. One of the wonderful things about Roku is that it has already 1000+ channels to watch right away. This little device has both a nice design and functionality. It can stream high definition (HD) quality videos (up to 720 p) and you can control everything up from your remote. Yes, this nice device comes with a remote control which can be programmed with shortcuts to jump straight to your favorite networks such as Pandora, Crackle, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon instant video, Vudu and many more. Also, you can download the remote app and use your smartphone as the main remote control. Awesome right? Absoulutely!
This device doesn't need any computer to work. It is a standalone device with it's own software running for you. Price is not too expensive cause you can find it from 49 bucks at Amazonor at Roku's main site. There are other levels for Roku Devices since Roku LT is an entry level. Here are the details:
Roku 1 (around 59 bucks): The difference between Roku LT and Roku 1 is basically that Roku 1 has the capability of streaming 1080p video. This can be really useful if you are streaming your videos to an HD screen. Quality is better in both image and sound.
Roku2 (around 79 bucks): It has basically the same features than Roku 1 but it also includes a remote with a headphone jack (I'm not pretty sure about the benefit of having a remote that support headphones) I guess you can listen to your movies this way but this doen't work for me (I love to watch movies with my girl). But if you are an isolated person who loves loneliness then this could be a great purchase.
Roku 3 (around 89 bucks): This one can be called Roku 2 reloaded. Besides all features available for it's little brothers, Roku 3 have also a motion control for video games (it comes with angry birds). It has a faster processor (5 times faster) and it has an SD slot. (not sure about this one cause I see no use at all). However, It's you who are buying the Roku device and if you find the SD card feature something to value while purchasing then, go for it.That's it, see you next time.
