The players bring users useful features - whether it's the ability to turn up a late-night flick without waking the kids or search quickly for the latest movie - that let them focus on enjoying their entertainment. The new Roku LT player will be available in the U.S. while the Roku 1 and Roku 2 players will be available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. The flagship Roku 3 player which launched in the U.S. in March is now also available in all of these countries.
