If you have an older (much older) Roku player, and you like to stream Netflix, you will need to upgrade by December 1st.
Netflix released a statement saying it's ending support on the following players (May 2011 or earlier):
- Roku HD
- Roku HD-XR
- Roku SD
- Roku XD
- Roku XDS
- NetGear XD
- NetGear XDS
You should be getting an alert if you're one of the unlucky parties. Or, if your Netflix app can't auto-play the next episode when you're watching a series, you're in trouble, too. More bad news: if you have an older TV with composite or component inputs, you're not going to be able to use Roku without a converter. You just may have to replace the TV, too.
The good news? Roku players are incredibly inexpensive: starting at only $30.
