Roku 2 only needs yellow, white and red connection which is perfect for old TVs.

I have both 1 and 2 and considering getting the number 3 to upgrade. They both work good, but sometimes they freeze or can't load the video. It could be the internet or something with the player, but I still recommend. Smart tv's are not worth it because the apps fail and your left with just a tv and money loss.

Doesn't play all mp4 videos with composite output.

I have a Synology server which streams video to 4 Roku 3 perfectly.
I bought a Roku 2 because I wanted to use it at a summer cottage and stream
all my movies to it. Some would play but the majority gave me a format error.
All my videos are converted to mp4 and play perfectly on the Roku 3.
After doing some experiments it turns out if the video is HD it won't play if
your using the composite outputs. The main reason I bought it was so I could watch
my HD movies thinking it converted HD to SD video so I could watch them on
an older TV. Big disappointment. All videos do play with HDMI.
Roku should make it more obvious that a HD video will not play out of the composite
ports. I was on a chat session today with someone explaining the problem and not
once did the type of video I was trying to watch HD or SD.

Setting that disappointment a side I do like the Roku. However it would have
been nice if they played HD movies, at a lower resolution through the composite ports.

I have 2 Roku's. The first one works so well and is so user friendly that I bought a second one for my " so called smart tv " when it quit being smart. Love both of my Roku's!
I would recommend this to a friend!
