The good thing about the Roku devices is that you can create and add private channels.
Many of Roku’s channels are free, while others (such as Hulu Plus) require a monthly subscription. Streaming channels include Amazon Video On Demand, Facebook photo sharing, Flickr, Flixster, Hulu Plus, NBA Game Time, Netflix, Pandora, Picasa, and Shoutcast.
The Roku XDS also adds component-video and optical-audio outputs, plus a USB port.Īll of the Roku set-top boxes let you access a large variety of Internet media via hundreds of channels. The Roku HD features 720p streams, while the Roku XD and Roku XDS offer 1080p streams (if content providers allow). The Roku set-top box comes in three versions: the Roku HD ($60), Roku XD ($80), and Roku XDS ($100).
