:) thanks... I did search but not well enough apparently.

 

I have a Roku3 and am loving the Roku MB channel... while personally a big MBT fan I was doing too much in-house MBT tech support for everyone else... the Roku interface is kid proof.  Now need Roku2 for a non-HD tv.

Are you in the UK ??

 

If so, try a Now TV box from Sky for £9.99 - they are a re-badged Roku LT.

I had the LT version, works great but wireless is annoying, especially when the LT is hogging the bandwidth for anyone else wanting to use wireless, now running the 3 wired and it's foolproof

Does the Roku app run on all current Roku devices including Roku 1 and LT?

It should work on the NEW Roku 1, but won't on the original Roku 1. Though personally I'd always recommend the Roku 3 just for the fact that it is the latest and greatest and will last you the longest and provides access to the latest software like Netflix, etc.

I use the Roku 3 on my main TV but need another for a legacy TV for the kids in the basement... no HDMI so Roku 3 isn't an option in this scenario.

 

Thanks for your input & a great MB client!  I see search is coming which will be nice.  I have another feature request... I have accounts for parents, teens, and kids.  Parents and teens have passwords on them.  The Roku client remembers who you are logged in as and auto connects you to that account when launching the channel later.  As a result I need to remember to choose the option to switch accounts when I'm done watching.  I think a nice feature would be to not remember password protected accounts and start at the login screen.  Possibly as an option via config setting, possibly with a timeout of being out of the channel for X minutes, etc. to accommodate those who wouldn't want that but I suspect many who have password protected accounts would value that.
