Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System 80

Posted by samzenpus from the new-look dept.
DeviceGuru writes "Many of us have griped for years about Roku's retro one-dimensional user interface. Finally, in conjunction with the release of the new Roku 3 model, the Linux-based media streaming player is getting a two-dimensional facelift, making it quicker and easier to access favorite channels and find new ones. Current Roku users, who will now begin suffering from UI-envy, will be glad to learn that Roku plans to push out a firmware update next month to many earlier models, including the Roku LT, Roku HD (model 2500R), Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, and Roku Streaming Stick. A short demo of the new 2D Roku menu system is available in this YouTube video."

Been using AOL for 10+ years. Even after broadband it was very useful for email and the occasional dial-up access (.10/minute). Having said that I just completed the below transaction.

1) Dial : 8008276364 Don't press or say anything until a live person answers.
2) When operator answers Explain that you are have broadband and do not need to use AOL.
3) You will be offered AOL free of charge. This is for the AOL with DSL or Cable only. Dial-up (including 1-800 surgcharge number) is not free.

Two caveats :
1) No Live Tech Support (go to http://help.aol.com/ for tech information)
2) No Customer Service (it's free now, what would you need?)

If the above 2 points are important to you, ask for the 4.95/month option.

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
