Roku model naming

Interesting. Roku's site used to list the different models such as LT, XD, XS. It now lists them as LT, Roku 1, 2, and 3. Then there's the roku stick. The Roku 2 on the Roku site has a remote with headphone jack but is not a motion controller for angry birds. In other words the old naming convention of Roku 2XS doesn't seem to apply anymore. I own a Roku 2 XS and it came with a motion controller that does not have a headphone jack.

I wonder if a roku remote with headphone jack will work with my Roku 2 XS? Unfortunately they are about $30 on ebay.

They're the new models. Roku's naming conventions are horrible.

Look up Roku on wikipedia and scroll down to the chart. It lists all of the models, their year, and features. The main models you see listed now are the 2013 models. In 2012 they were all Roku 2 (then some letters). In 2013 they switched to Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2, and Roku 3. It's confusing because every other company in the world wouldn't do that. Plus, they already had models names Roku 2, and this Roku 2 has nothing to do with them.

After looking at that article, I'm glad I have a 2XS and not a 3.
