The new cheaper Roku LT

The streaming box comes with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon, Pandora, and HBO Go access. Roku also plans to add more streaming option in the future. To save costs Roku has excluded Bluetooth and the SD card reader.

The new Roku LT has built-in WiFi but output is limited to 720p just like Apple TV.

Roku LT will be available in early November from www.roku.com and www.amazon.com
