Re: minimum firmware version
The value set for minimum firmware version is the lowest firmware version your channel will be available for install.
For example, if you select v3.1 (which I believe is all older Roku players) then your channel will be available on all Roku players that have version 3.1 or higher installed (3.1, 4.0, 5.0, and so on). If you select, for example, v5.1, then your channel will not be available on any firmware version older than 5.1, but will be available on all players that have firmware version 5.1 or newer installed.

Re: minimum firmware version
For process improvement, there should be a choice added for 'any' instead of using 3.1, as 3.1 is the lowest available firmware with the forced firmware updates. (would simply eliminate confusion on the numbers)

Re: minimum firmware version
as suggest by destruk there is "any" option but i do't found "any" option there during submission my channel. there is lowest version v2.5 b388 and max v6.2b1 .
so you mean i should select v2.5 b388 version for all devices.

Re: minimum firmware version
3.1 or lower would cover everything.

Re: minimum firmware version
You need to make sure your channel will run on firmware 3.1 devices before making it available to them.
