Does Roku 2XS provide you tube?

You will need the 3 for it to work natively - you can search for "hacks" but depending on your skillset, desire, time you may be better of just buying the 3.

I use my roku 2 to play songs from my ipod on a remote stereo so I may not be the best person to answer the question. From what I know, you need to get to the internet and go to u tube and I don't think roku allows you to go to the internet. It uses the internet to take you to specific channels they have set up like HBO or Pandora. Hope this helps.

It does currently, however, on this (excellent but older) model the official YouTube channel is painfully slow. I would recommend the use of one of the various workarounds, like using Twonky or Plex. Twonky Beam is an iPhone, iPad, and Android app that allows you to find videos on various web sites and then press a button for them to be shown on your Roku. Plex is a media server you install on your computer, which when used with the RarFlix Roku channel instead of the official Plex channel, is also free. (Plex also has iPhone, iPad, and Android apps, but they are not needed for this and neither are they free.)

I am not sure just what a Roku is, but is its probably a digtial system using HDMI outputs, this unit handles Analog only, so I don't think it is going to work

I only have a Roku 2 XS, but it works great with that. Check the Roku forums, but I would expect it to work. Edit: I notice this is the model with only RCA stereo plugs out. I actually have the model with RCA stereo and Digital Optical out, and get DD5.1 with Amazon. This will only give stereo out. My initial response below doesn't fit the model you are asking about.Note it only works with sources that use legacy Dolby 5.1 (DD5.1) (such as Amazon). It does NOT work with sources that use Digital Dolby Plus (DD+) such as Netflix. You are limited to PCM stereo there. DD+ can not be transported on an optical connection. Bummer.

I don't think so. The hardest thing is knowing which cable to plug in where. There's a power cord and one cable so that's not hard. After that you follow the easy (TV) onscreen directions to register on your computer. After that you choose which channels you want displayed. You can also go to Roku.com to look at more options. The biggest problem we have now is watching too much.

Yes! You can stream several different types of media through the Roku. Some examples are: Netflix, Hulu, Vevo, Youtube, Spotify, GooglePlay, Pandora, etc.

If your TV has RCA audio and video inputs (red, white and yellow), yes. But if your TV only has a coax input, Roku won't work.

Think of the Roku just like another service such as Comcast or U-verse. You can only watch content from channels that Roku offers. Currently Roku doesn't offer any of the channels mentioned I don't believe. Go to Roku's web site to see the complete listing of channels.

We have 2 roku xd players and have yet to have a issue with them wireless or video playback, between Netflix and hulu plus we pay 14.99 a month mix that with all the free channels we get more then cable tv offers and including quality 1080p at a fraction of the cost for apple tv or monthly payment extortion rates to cable tv We are happy with it

No, audio streaming only. Formats and providers are changing so fast that you'd be best off getting a roku/amazon/google streaming stick or device anyway.

The Monoprice MYCH01 will work with the ROKU 2 XS, but it's not perfect. The MYCH01 enlarges the image and cuts off more on the left hand side. So with Netflix the category title is cut off a little. It still looks better than the composite video.

Not at all, in fact, if your TV doesn't have a HDMI input, the Roku comes with a composite video cable. You plug the cable into the back of the Roku, and the other end has three plugs on it, a yellow, a red and a white that you plug into the matching colors on the back of your TV set.Hope this helps

Roku 2 XS most certainly does support MKV and MP4. The down side is that there's currently a bug (or oversight) that makes it display all your videos in date order instead of alphabetical order.

1. It should - it works fine with AppleTV 3, so I don't see why it wouldn't for a Roku 2XD 2. It comes with stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) to dual RCA female adapter. You would need an RCA to RCA cable to connect to a typical home stereo.

Yes and no. There are numerous channels that you can watch on your Roku for free. Some of the best are Crackle, Pandora and the Smithsonian Channel. Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime each require a paid subscription. However, in the case of Amazon, if you have previously purchased digital content from them, you can access it via your Roku for free either through Amazon Instant Video or the Amazon Cloud Player.

nope as long as your cable connection is good you are all set!!! Love my Roku bought one for my daughter and son in law for Christmas and they love theirs too, they had a bit of a problem cause they live in the country and their cable carrier was not strong enough to pull it in......they switched to another carrier and have had no problems, if you live in the city you should be golden Enjoy
