Will the newest Roku 3 work with my SDTV ? My TV does have an HDMI port.
I have one of the very first Rokus hooked up now, but I'd like to get the new Roku so
I will have YouTube and for Voice search on the remote.

I cannot find an answer anywhere. Yes, the Roku 3 "says" it's for HDTVs but it doesn't say that it cannot/will not work with SDTV.
 
Solution
If your TV has HDMI it should work. The Roku will detect the SD resolution and scale the output. It does the same thing on a 720p HD TV with a 1080p source. Make sure you can return it just in case.
