That's BS. Prime won't work anymore on older units. For what reason?

The reason being they can make more money by making a perfectly working product obsolete. They are also creating unnecessary waste, which I won't delve into.

Looking at phone companies that no longer provide firmware updates after a few years.

Thanks! I definitely don't need this, as I just bought a Roku Ultra a couple of months ago, but it's good to have a back up. The link took me right to the discount page.

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.

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.

I was so excited, until I saw that it uses an IR remote. I can't go back to having to point at the TV. Otherwise, great deal.

Just ran into this. It's almost certainly the amount of flash storage on the old devices being 256M. Amazon prime doesn't seem to load over the network and all/most apps stop working when you get close or go over the 256M limit. New devices have 4GB

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.

Believe or not, they would prefer that you could continue using your old device as each time they limit their devices that's a smaller market. These devices are OLD. Developing for them is not a good experience. Roku should of included these in their list of deprecations back in 2019.

I would jump at 9.99, but the best offer I got was 19.99. I disagree with ROKU building things that become obsolete. They make money from ADs for the most part. Often times the apps require higher specs for features etc and the older ones get left behind. I still use players that are many generations old.

The 2021 Sony TV i bought has great native apps and the same with a 2021 Samsung a friend has. They probably making people buy new models for older TVs now since they will almost be obsolete in a few year as newer TVs cycle out older TVs.

There will always be a market for these but i feel its shrinking. I do believe you still run into some issues with native apps not running in 4K vs a fire stick / roku maybe having that 4k app but I think that wont be for very long.
