Roku Device Features, Settings & Updates

[Chazzman]

I'm ready to take advantage of a new offer for an Upgrade as an owner of a model 3700X. For $20 I get a new, faster Roku. But the offer seems to imply that my old Roku could stop working -- it's an "Upgrade" and not simply a new Roku. There's nothing that implies I'd have to send in my old Roku.

Is there anything I'll eventually regret? Or am I just reading too much into it.

Thanks in advance . . .

You're probably reading too much into it.  You can keep your old device and it will keep working.  The 3700 is even on the list of devices that are still getting updates (unlike some older Rokus), but no one knows how long that will continue.

Thank you very much for the follow-up. I'm going for it . . .

my 3700X is extremely unstable with Roku's latest software updates so i replaced it with their current "Roku Express HD Streaming Media Player" 3930X model ($22 bucks @@Amazon).  it's fast and works perfectly.  disappointing though that the 3700X model - released 2016 - became obsolete that fast?  whatever¯\_(ツ)_/¯
