Roku has just announced a firmware update — version 2.9 b1509 — for its popular line of streaming media players. The new code packs various bug fixes, playback optimizations, and, most notably, 1080p video playback for the Roku XR player. If your device hasn’t yet automatically retrieved the update, you can manually grab the firmware by navigating to: Settings > Player Info > Check For Updates.

      this 1080p update may be a precurser to it.. can’t imagine there’s much actual 1080p streaming going on but i could be wrong.

    gotta say the 3 best purchases i’ve made the past couple of years were the origional Roku, a synology diskstation (NAS) and my squeezebox radio. no coincidence that they all work together and get upgraded constantly (well maybe not so much recently the squeezebox)
