HBO Go

This week Roku unveiled its cheapest streaming player to date – the Roku LT. Hitting the market at just $49.99, the new player streams more than 300 channels including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Pandora, EPIX, Crackle, Disney, and HBO Go, the newest addition to Roku. To stream HBO Go from your Roku player, you will need to subscribe to HBO via cable or satellite. HBO Go provides streaming of movies and full seasons of all HBO shows.

The Roku LT streams 720p high-definition video and features built-in wireless. It joins the company's other streaming players – the $59.99 Roku 2 HD, $79.99 Roku 2 XD and $99.99 Roku 2 XS – all which feature Bluetooth and a microSD card slot. The top-of-the-line Roku 2 XS model comes with a Bluetooth Roku Game Remote with motion control and can play games like Angry Birds.

The Roku LT player will be available from Roku.com, Amazon.com and in retail stores beginning in early November 2011.

"Our goal is a Roku in every home," said Roku Founder and CEO Anthony Wood. "The Roku LT opens up streaming to more people by lowering the cost of entry in these difficult economic times. With a $49 price and selection of more than 300 channels we expect the Roku LT will be everyone's favorite Holiday device."
