</div>It does, but I question calling something "HD" when it apparently can't handle 1080i.<br>
<br>
The specs on the Roku site say it can do 480i/720p, the latter being technically "HD", but a lot of media players are<br>
available that can do at least 1080i, and some of them do 1080p.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if the Roku will play a 1080i file from a UPnP server? Can it play files shared on your network? (Samba or<br>
NFS)? Their site is a little lean on specs.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The Roku only offers content via it's "channels". This typically includes providers like Netflix, Amazon VOD, or <a href="http://MLB.TV">MLB.TV</a> among others. There are third-party channels available for the Roku such as Roksbox</div>
