model #'s
Dear Roku, Its really not fair we need to rely on theEndless to answer questions like this. I should be able to look this up and he should be able to spend his time answering important things. Thank...

So I just recently ordered a refurbished Roku 1 2710XB
I assume the B means "refurBished"?
Er, possibly. I'd have to check into that though, as this is the first I'm hearing of XB.
In my experience, regarding refurbs:
- "B" after model# is used on outside package only of refurbished models in the form 3050X-B or 3050-B (i have seen both kinds)
- The sticker on the player stays 3050X
- The player firmware (getModel()) always reports in 3050X format, never B
So "B" is qualifier "external" to the Roku box proper. I suspect the same of "EU", the difference being a different (external 🙂 ) power adaptor - different prongs at least. The packaging of new players i have seen show model as 3050R- with "R" suffix, to confuse us further. I suspect packaging specialized for some retailers (like Costco, with bonus cables) bear different suffix letter too. My dev. Rx: wholesale ignore the letters, stick with the model number.
