It isn’t one of the new Roku 2 family, but this is the top end model from the previous generation for less than the low-end Roku 2 HD, and just $10 more than the budget Roku LT. MSRP for this model was originally $99.99.

For your money you get 1080p output via HDMI or component video, as well as composite video, optical digital audio, and RCA stereo connections. Network connectivity is via a wired Ethernet port or dual-band 802.11n WiFi, and there is a USB port for external media. That’s more hardware features than most of the Roku 2 units, and in the software about the only thing you won’t get is gaming support. If you’ve been thinking about picking up a Roku LT, or even a Roku 2 HD, I’d seriously consider this deal instead.
