I would agree with you if Roku makes money off these players, but they really don't. They make money off you using it i.e. ads and digital in-Roku purchases, so they are better off supporting it as long as possible.

Most of these are more of a loss leader to get you into or keep you in their ecosystem.

New Roku and a month of HBO Max for $5?… That's a very fair offer to replace an old unit. Of the models listed the newest of them is over 7 years old and the rest are even older. They can't support them forever. Features get added and those old devices just can't keep up.

I'll take the offer and recycle my old Roku. It was slow anyway. Thanks op.

From the original post: The specific models no longer supported are: 3500X, 2710X, 2720X, 2700X, 3050X, 3100X, 2400X, 3000X, 2500X, 2450X, 3400X, and 3420X

Anyone having issues with NOT being able to checkout using Paypal or even the regular Credit Card pay method?

At checkout it's defaulting to "Roku Pay". I switch that to CC, enter my info in, hit submit, and it loops me BACK to the shopping cart screen again. Same with Paypal.
Same here but it charged it to paypal.

Which Roku has best WiFi range?

Hooked a TV up in my garage and my old Roku stick gets a signal, but it's weak. The stick has always been slow to load pages and apps, so an upgrade was due anyway.
Roku says the full Ultra is best.

Personally, my most distant Roku's are this exact basic model and they work fine. My 5 Roku locations are within 50 feet to the central WIFI router, so YMMV.

I much prefer the basic remotes to the Ultra radio remotes because the radio remotes often stop the show and go to a shortcut channel with every bump, jostle and catpaw, while the basic remotes don't stop your show unless you intentionally hold, and purposefully point.

This offer is a great value just for the extra remote and HDMI, and as a backup unit.

On my Offers page I didnt see the 9.99 one. But after I was signed in then used the link from the OP it showed the 9.99 offer as a sort of pop up. the WELCOME10 also brought it down to $5.

I imagine that the old ones are not going to be supported due to some sort of DRM or Codec that the older Roku just dont support. I have seen this time and time again. I dont really even use my Rokus anymore but for $5 ill have one for travels and such.

That's BS. Prime won't work anymore on older units. For what reason?
It could have to do with system requirements for an updated version of the Prime Video app. The new app may need more memory or more storage space or the higher end processor.

I chatted to Amazon about 3 months ago that Prime Video on Roku(4) was giving me issues. It was and is difficult to explain the issues in few words.

When i would click though possible sections in Prime Video on Roku i may watch, the movie preview of each movie would pop up and play(please dont say there is an option to stop that, it did not work).
So to click though movie selections, i would have to wait thu a pop up movie selection to play and stop. Yes there is a skip button for each pop up movie but that still took time to do.
Then besides pop up movie selections automatically playing ,Amazon Prime Video now has promotional ads pop up ads with the movie preview popups.
So as i began to click though movie selections, to get pass say 5 selections in Prime video via Roku, it would take many minutes to do.

Prior to Amazon adding movie previews and promotional ads, i was using Prime Video every day for years.
I just stopped using Prime Video completely on Roku. Prime Video is useless to me.

I would guess if Amazon Prime stopped with the movie preview popups, stopped the promotional ADs, Prime Video would work fine again on Roku.


Short answer: I PROMOTIONAL AD am not PROMOTIONAL AD going to buy PROMOTIONAL AD another Roku PROMOTIONAL AD for Amazon Prime.

You should go with any of the models that support "a/b/g/n/ac dual-band MIMO" that also meet your other requirements for the device

Yes! I seem to be stuck in the loop. Trying to take advantage of 5% back on PayPal purchases with my CC...
