My Roku 2 was automatically updated 2 or 3 weeks ago. Not a big deal but the new look is more pleasing to the eyes IMO.

Strange.

My Roku 2 XS didn't update before.

Also the article states that the rollout was done yesterday ...

The article also says "It's been rolling out to limited numbers of users all month for testing." I had no idea it was a test as it didn't say anything about it being a test. I just plugged in the box one day and there it was.
