Just found this thread and looked into these flat antennas mentioned on the first page. I did a little research and wanted to point out that the Winegard Flatwave looks to be hands down better than the the more popular/oft-recommended Mohu Leaf.

This site did a short review/comparison of the two, and the Winegard picked up more channels than the Leaf and was higher build quality. The three parts are each pretty short blurbs: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Plus the pattern of the antenna traces in this thing looks pretty cool.


Just placed an order for one on amazon.

Also, I have an older Roku model at home (not at home right now to check, but I think it's Roku XD?)
It's one of this style case anyways:


Is there any reason to upgrade to a Roku 2 XS? Is the interface much more responsive or anything?

Hi, I watch a lot of youtube videos on my TV and sometimes want to watch them at accelerated playback speed. Are there any Roku models or Roku-likes that actually allow you to change the playback speed like I can when viewing directly on youtube.com on my desktop computer?

I have a Roku Ultra that I picked up in Nov 2017, and the youtube app on that does not have any option for playback speed. If I'm watching youtube on TV i usually do it through the Roku because the remote is much more convenient than casting from phone or laptop.

I also have a chromecast 2 that I occasionally cast to, but regular casting doesn't let me adjust the speed. I can technically do it if i cast the whole browser tab from my laptop, but its kinda kludgy and I don't like doing it.
I know its a pretty minor thing but I would really like that feature supported natively. Are there any options for me?

Use the Roku app on your phone as your remote, should still work. Last time I tried it was over 6 months ago, though.
Just checked and I'm not seeing any option for playback speed in the Android Roku remote app.
