ROKUs 4K Evolution
They have a lot of interesting products that are avilable like the Premier and Ultra and UHD and this is great with the new products and services they provide for the customers.

streaming??
I have to agree with some skepticism that streaming devices for ultra-high bandwidth services is the place to start. Who has a Gbps service? Not too many households (yet!?)...
And when will real broadband come to the mainstream?

Re: streaming??
While you make a great point, I would argue that a piece of tech like this that is cheaper than others may be a great catalyst for a household to get some kind of 4k tech into their home, therefore spurring their interest in collecting more 4K products.

Re: streaming??
Are competitors offering similar?
I could see that as being something consumers might "fall for" as something that they'll benefit from, and roku not wanting to lose those customers to the competition.

Re: streaming??
That's another good point - driving demand by available hardware.

Re: ROKUs 4K Evolution
$30 is a fantastic price to get Roku's streaming functionality.

UHD Gaining Popularity
I was in Best Buy yesterday and noticed that they have a large selection of UHD discs. I didn't even know that those existed and I would defitnitely be wary of upgraging for a few years, especially with what happened with HDDVDs.

Re: UHD Gaining Popularity
What does one use to play UHD discs on?

Re: ROKUs 4K Evolution
I agree. Roku has a mature OS and channel market. If I needed to replace my existing Roku devices, I would buy an express. I think the Roku Express would be a great gift.

Re: streaming??
Sure, there's a chicken&egg problem with these new video standards, so someone has to start offering the features or else we'd all be stuck with 480p video. We're looking at a future without headphone jacks, so maybe we're moving well beyond HDMI cables, too.... :P
