This is a handy page for finding out about past and present Roku models:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roku
The only Rokus I see with component came out in 2009 and 2010 and they were last updated to Roku OS 3.1. (12 is the current version.) I would not recommend bothering to find one of these. They probably do very little if anything today.
thanks for your reply. i did find an n1000 online. i guess it wouldn't have the apps that i need? i'm specifically looking for it to run the xfinity (comcast) stream app, as i use the roku to extend my cable coverage.
I’ve seen stories of Rokus that old not even activating any more. Though I can’t say that they are guaranteed not to activate. After that, it’s also not on Xfinity’s supported list which is here:

"Devices must be on minimum firmware version 8.1 b1 or higher."
Thank you again. I might try spending a little to find out, otherwise I'll have to try to get my hdmi to component converters to works, or just enjoy SD TV. It's a shame, since I have an HD over the air antenna on the same TV, and it looks so much better.
