I have an art pack and some personal photos on my laptop that I want to view with my Roku HD1000. I've copied them onto an SD card, but when I plug the card into the SD/MMC slot on the Roku, nothing happens. The Roku doesn't seem to even notice that this card is plugged in. (It does see the CompactFlash art pack card in the other slot, BTW.)
What do I need to do?
Thanks for any help!

Is it a REV-A or REV-B unit? What size is the SD card? Have you tried to re-boot the HD1000 yet?

I just tried rebooting the HD1000 and that didn't help.
A REV-B will say so on the bottom sticker that has the serial number and model number.
THere might be an issue with the microSD, even though you have it in a adaptor, but the 1GB should work. I would try to update the firmware on the HD1000 and see if that resolves anything. I would suggest version 2.0.35

Thank you for your help!
No, you load a file on to a CF card and boot with the card in the slot.

When you boot with the CF card in the slot, it may take 5min untill you see a screen, so don't freak out. Let me know if you need any help with the firmware update. I always use a CF card with just that file on it. Also, make sure you don't leave the CF card with the file in the system or else when you boot, it will flash the firmware again. You can send me a PM too if you need help, Matt
