    FYI: This is a Roku HD version 1, not the newer Roku 2 HD. Only the Roku 2 supports adaptive streaming, subtitles, and Dolby Digital 5.1+ on Netflix.

    Tangent1138, this model actually replaced the Roku 2 HD. It was released in 2012 whereas the 2 HD was from 2011. You can read a review of this model on Cnet here: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-media-receivers/roku-hd-2012/4505-6739_7-35244104.html

    Oops, you are right. It's odd they dropped the 2.

    Wow this player is horrible at playing different file formats from USB or over network.
    Just read some forum posts.
    I will stick with my WDTV.
