Roku 2 review (2015)

Roku 2 features new processor, search and MyFeed

The Roku 2 is yet another decent media streaming box from the market leader and we like the new Roku Search and MyFeed features. However, these are available on the other Rokus and the slightly high price means you'll want to pay the extra for the...

Roku 2 (2015) review

(Rating Hidden)

As the name suggests, this Roku 2 is 2015's update to the previous year's model of the same name. But what's the difference? Not a great deal - it's ditched the phono outputs and added USB and Ethernet ports, though. Are the changes enough to justify...

Roku 2 (2015) review

The Roku 2 streaming box was one of our top picks for giving your TV some internet-smarts, and while it wasn't as fast as the flagship Roku 3, this year's refreshed model packs in some updated internals for what Roku's promising is speedier...

When Roku simplified its line-up into three distinct streaming boxes (and a Streaming Stick), it simply named them Roku 1, Roku 2 and Roku 3, with each number signalling how fast each box is and which one packs in more features - we reckon Roku now...

The new and improved Roku 2 definitely brings the value of the Roku 3 into question, giving you equally speedy performance at a lower price point, but we feel Roku’s downgraded the whole package to give its top-end model a clear advantage. Amazon’s...

Roku 2 (2015)

The new Roku 2 media hub offers loads of streaming services and fast performance, but it leaves out one of the cooler features of the previous version.

Fast performance. Lots of streaming services and apps. Plenty of mobile control functionality.

Remote no longer has a headphone jack.

Misleading Product Description

Purchased because it advertised that the remote has a headphone jack which was the main reason for purchasing. No headphone jack in the remote, but because I'd opened it and installed it before checking, I can't return it. Should have just gone for the...
