Roku XDS (1st Generation) Media Streamer 2100X - Black

About this product

Product Information

For a true on-demand experience that provides far more than your cable company can offer, a streaming device, such as the Roku XDS digital media streamer is a great choice. This compact little box fits in seamlessly on your entertainment center, allowing you access to watch over 100 channels of customized broadcasts. With a streamer, you don’t even need to have a smart TV, as the Roku offers quick and simple access to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Pandora, MLB TV, and much more. Essentially all you need is an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection for the Roku, and with a simple audio and video connect to your television, you’re ready to browse your favorites. The Roku XDS offers true HD viewing, with 1080p resolution for all of your favorite shows, music, and movies. Additionally, this particular model also comes complete with a USB port so you can play outside content directly from a flash drive or a hard drive. While Roku is the manufacturer, a Roku subscription for the streamer is not necessary, as long as you have active accounts for paid subscriptions on paid sites. The Roku box itself is smaller than previous models, so it fits in nicely with your other components, and the included infrared remote allows you to access an on-screen menu to choose your favorite shows. The streamer integrates easily with other media and devices, such as your Blu-ray or DVD player, video game system, and stereo system.

    Better products out there.

    I paid $20 used (perfect condition) for mine, so you get what you pay for. Using my wireless connection, it is a little slow. Cuts out sometimes. Hangs up on Netflix often. When set on 16:9 it could take up to 4 minutes to buffer an episode and even then would often hang up and not play. Changed it to 720 and it steams better but still slower than I would have expected on my network.

    A Slow, Obsolete Media Streamer with No Further Roku Support

    I bought this to add Netflix access to my non-HDMI Sony big screen TV. What a disappointment! This is the only Roku model in recent years to have component (1080i RGB) video output in addition to HDMI. A $15-25 aftermarket cable (not available from Roku Canada) is required, but it does correctly output the proper 1080i signal to legacy TVs. Roku stopped XD/S 2100X manufacture in 2011. This model and several others lost Roku support in 2015. That means that its OS CANNOT be updated beyond 3.1 build 1198. After spending several hours with Roku Tech Support I learned you cannot download a new, working version of their Netflix app either - a problem because the original app no longer works. Word to the wise: DON'T RESET THE BOX OR DELETE ANY APPS ALREADY ON IT. They CANNOT BE RESTORED. To be fair, some of the other legacy apps still work - though slowly. The ultimate solution for me was to buy a currently supported $50CAD Roku Express+. I used an HDMI adapter to send video to my TV's DVI port and used composite (red & white) stereo for my TV's sound input. Works fine.

  • Roku XD/S Model 2100X is no longer supported by ROKU.

    Roku no longer supports this model and stopped streaming through it. You have to buy a new model. Also, new models do not support audio. So, if you have separate stand alone speakers that you connected to your old XD/S Model 2100X streaming player, you now must use the speakers installed in your TV. Roku has a model called Express year 2018 that is designed to connect with external speakers, but it no longer is available.

  • Great USB Feature

    This specific item was a little out of date, but for my purposes ...works Great!!! The USB Feature is very handy. I would recommend this type of ROKU for multiple purposes. IT IS GREAT !!!

  • End of Life (EOL) Product

    This may have been a great product at one time, but it is essentially done. I knew this model was on the backside of its useful life, but I went ahead and picked up a used XDS just for the optical digital output. I have Roku on a Sharp Smart TV and a newer Roku 3 box (RCA & HDMI only) which work fine with FLAC audio files, but the XDS is limited to MP3 and AAC formats only.

  • Okay

    I have two of these. Both work okay. The big problem is that one remote controls both devices. You have to use an a/c switch to shut off the one you aren't using at the moment, The unit itself does not have an on/off switch. You have to unplug it to get it to turn off.

  • Too old to update, no longer supported

    after receive, I find the item is too old, no update is available and ROKU no longer supports it. So to use this for what I had intended it is useless. Make a good paperweight. Do not buy older ROKU as they may no longer be supported

  • Roku XDS- NO software updates.

    Beware this unit is no longer supported by Roku. You will not be able to update the system software or add any (not previously downloaded) channels from the Roku channels store. Hope this helps, I found out the hard way...Ugh.

  • roku wifi

    This will not work upstairs in my house. It loads to slow and lags alot. My son had one when he lived here and did not have that problem. I guess I should have bought a more expensive one to get better reception.

  • Only works for netflix.

    I don't know much about this stuff. I guess it will work but it's an older version. Which is my fault , but I paid too much for a old version. Oh well.
