The Roku LT’s functions appear similar to the current $60 entry-level Roku 2 HD, with access to all of Roku’s channels, wireless-only connectivity, 720p video resolution and component video output.

The LT will start shipping next month with an MSRP of $49.99.

HBO GO is available at no additional cost to HBO customers who subscribe through a participating television provider. The service will be available on all Roku streaming players at the end of this month.
