First look at Roku’s four new streaming boxes

Roku has refreshed its popular line of streaming media boxes to include a tiny, $30 Roku box and a $130 top-of-the-line Roku that supports both 4K and HDR video.

I like the night listening mode... while there is a time and a place for enjoying the impact of sound in movies it's not always conducive to a resting household

Lol watch again to see if she stuck with the "Hi"

[スパイシーな男の子]

So now five separate boxes and a streaming stick that all do pretty much the same thing? What is the point of this needlessly complicated product line up?

[PaulSebastianM]

Why flick the remote at the tv when you're just pressing a button? I don't get that gesture people do.

Jesus Christ Roku. That's one thing u need to do to compete more with apple and that's just making only 3 versions of a Roku max, and that's it!
Apple, Chromecast, and everyone else makes it super easy to just grab one and go without having to do some outside research on what model to get

Hardware is nice, but the interface is still horrendous.

Good review, so glad u included the prices.

[nazhif]

Why so many boxes? The prices aren't that much different so why not just have the Express+, Premiere+ & Ultra? or just he Express+ & Ultra

I always enjoy content by Lauren. She's so Goode.

[XIIchiron]

Wonder if the remote is any less awful?

Night listening mode is a pretty sweet feature, though!

[El_Hamzoh]

Can it play back 4K videos from SD cards or external devices?

[SwissTanuki]

does it support HD and 4k Netflix in the premium version unlike some other android devices?

[UKgamer]

Xiaomi mi box matches the ultra for alot less...

[Richptoptier]

CAn someone tell me if this would be better than the nvidia shield? I am not looking for a gaming device just excellent 4K streaming

[eSKAone-]

An HDR-TV most likely has all this features integrated anyway.

[LoweringMyProfile]

Well, this means that the prices of the old Roku's are coming down and there will be scores of them on eBay at a good price....definitely will have to grab an old Roku or two.

isn't this the box that gets hacked and xbmc/kodi installed on it?

[edgar]

I'll wait for the roku ultra super premium plus extra 3000 infinity mega model!

[ashbanapal]

With all these new boxes, NONE have Gigabit Ethernet.
