Late Wednesday, Roku sent an email to all registered customers that have the company’s Roku 2 Streaming Box that the company will no longer be supporting this version and will cease providing security and enhancement updates for it effective immediately.

The notice reads:

Dear Roku customer,

We’re reaching out to let you know that, with the release of OS version 9.1, all models of this Roku 2 player* still in operation will no longer receive new software updates.

What does this mean?

Rest assured, you can continue to enjoy this classic Roku player and stream your currently available channels. However, this Roku player will no longer receive new features, updates to existing channels, or support for new channels. You may also potentially lose existing channels if our partners decide to update their channel in the future.

We invite you to review the special offers currently available on our newer, faster products at www.roku.com/offers.

Happy Streaming!

Roku
