Q: what's the difference between roku 1 2 3
A: Roku 1 is the original unit and has a very slow processor and limited choices. The new Roku 2 has the same processor as the new Roku 3, very fast. The Roku 3 has voice activation and a RF type remote (you don't have to be able to physically see the device for the the remote to work). Best value, Roku 2.
Q: Is there a fee to set the Roku 2.
A: No there is not a Fee. They do want a credit card number, But I just use a Debit card I got at Walmart. as long as it has $1 on it your good. They want this in case you buy some games or other apps from there store. You have several options you can set to prevent someone in the house from doing this. All off the Apps I have are free. you will have to open accounts at netflix HBOGO or Amazon instant video if you want to use them. They all have a 30 trial so I would go with that until you find one you like. I have the 3 above but had those account prior to get the Roku 2. There are a number of sites that have free videos such as CBS TBS youtube, PBS and Crackle. have them also. One point the Roku 2 is the same box inside as the Roku 3. the difference is the remote has voice and an headphone so unless you plan on using them all the time dont bother with the 3 and save $30 -$40 bucks
Q: Do I need to buy additional cables to attach this device to my TV?
A: You need to buy the hdmi cable to connect the roku 2 to your tv.
Q: is this the 2013 or 2015 version roku 2?
A: Roku 2 4210R (2015) Roku 2 2720R (2013) The 2015 has the same processor as both Roku 3 models. Which is why it runs just as quick and smooth.
Q: Can you get local TV channels in your area with roku?
A: No the roku has weather apps and news app in it but no local stations but you can use Hulu to watch local primetime shows . But bit real time not yet any way.
A: Natively, no. Not without some sort of HDMI port replicator. Even then, it would be a mirror image on both TVs. Without additional hardware, roku is 1 TV per device at a time.
A: HDMI hub. Similar to a USB hub with multiple inputs condensed into 1 out put. Only about $50.
Q: Difference between Roku 2 model 2720R and 4210R?
A: Only difference is the 4210 has the same processor as the roku 3. Much faster. It also does not have the headphone jack in the remote. For me the faster processor is worth losing the headphone jack.
