If you happen to be in possession of the first generation Roku players, then here is a bit of good news to brighten up your mid-week – what has been described as “a pretty substantial update” will be making its way to the first generation of Roku players. For those of you out there who have no clue as to whether your Roku player is part of the first generation or not, just take a look at the device – if it is smaller than a hockey puck, then you would do well to apply this update when it arrives. As for Roku 2 and Roku LT players, those already received their update last week.

Among the numerous improvements and bug fixes in this update would include support for the new Amazon channel, additional enhancements introduced to support the official Roku iPhone app, better MP4 playback, the ability to shop for Roku Deals in the Roku Channel Store, and improved grid performance amongst others. Expect this update to be pushed over all first generation Roku players within the next two days, but if patience is not your strongest suit, then just download it directly by selecting Settings > Player info > Check for update from your Roku player.
