Roku is pretty great. The only problem we have is at busy bandwidth times our dsl speed drops precipitously.
I heard it was a lot like Apple TV, no?
If you think the Roku is great, try out a more powerful box like the WD TV Live Hub. Not only can it do Netflix in 5.1 HD and Hulu, it can play back the vast majority of any media you download on your PCs either locally copied to its internal 1TB hard disk or over your network. It doesn’t care. Up to 1080p MKV... Roku doesn’t handle high def compressed formats.
We cut the cord over a year ago. Don’t miss it in the slightest and save around $500-700/yr.
