Roku 2 (2015)

The new Roku 2 media hub offers loads of streaming services and fast performance, but it leaves out one of the cooler features of the previous version.

Fast performance. Lots of streaming services and apps. Plenty of mobile control functionality.

When Roku simplified its line-up into three distinct streaming boxes (and a Streaming Stick), it simply named them Roku 1, Roku 2 and Roku 3, with each number signalling how fast each box is and which one packs in more features - we reckon Roku now...

Still, while Roku has given its middle child a speed increase, it has unfortunately taken away some of its better functionalities too. The previous version included RCA jacks to let you hook up the box to older, standard definition televisions, but...

The new and improved Roku 2 definitely brings the value of the Roku 3 into question, giving you equally speedy performance at a lower price point, but we feel Roku’s downgraded the whole package to give its top-end model a clear advantage. Amazon’s...
