Roku’s expanding their offerings with three new boxes: HD at $60, XD at $80 and XDS at $100. With just $40 separating the bottom from the tip, why would you not go for the 1080p, 802.11n dual band streaming?
Both the XD and XDS have 1080p over HDMI in addition as 802.11n (HD is just 720p), where the XDS has that dual-band and component out, in addition as optical audio and a USB port for taking part in back local music, photos and video. This capability is a free upgrade for the XDS in November 2010.
But what does Roku stream? Netflix, Amazon VOD, Pandora music, MLB, UFC, in addition as smaller, nichier channels like Vimeo and Flixster and so forth.
The top two models also have TiVo/Windows Media Center’s 7-second skip back, which they claim is a first for internet streamers. Why nobody else hasn’t done this before is sort of a surprise, since it just requires them to keep a small buffer of video so people can quickly leap back if they tuned out for a number of seconds.
