Roku, makers of the streaming TV, film, music and gaming boxes, has today launched a new family of Roku devices and is bringing its top-of-the-line Roku 3 unit which has been available in the US since earlier in the year to the UK and Ireland.
The devices announced today include an updated Roku LT for the US market and new models called the Roku 1 and Roku 2, which along with the Roku 3 will be coming to the UK and Ireland. All UK-bound models (Roku 1, 2 and 3) see mostly small, incremental hardware upgrades from other models but with the addition of genuinely useful features.
For example, while the Roku 1, 2 and 3 devices provide access to the Roku Channel Store – home to favorites like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, and around 450 other content providers (selection depending on your location) – the Roku 1 now supports full 1080p content where the equivalent model previously maxed out at 720p. The US-bound entry-level Roku LT ($49.99) still has the same 720p max resolution restriction.
