What's great about it: Lots of channels, streams great, easy to install.
What's not so great: HBO GO w/Direct TV doesn't work!
I have 3 AppleTV's and I bought this just to watch Hulu Plus and HBO GO. Well after finding out the HBO GO doesn't work if your provider is Direct TV I decided to take it back. I did play with it some and it's a nice box for the price. I am not normally one of those APPLE is better just because people, but when it comes down to a streaming media player AppleTV stands alone IMO! mostly because it's really the only one that lets you stream from your computer. Once Roku has started allowing that ability it will finally be competing with AppleTV. I know there are those limitations to Appletv such as No HuluPlus or HBO GO, but I am hoping for that someday(Breathe Not Being Held).

What's great about it: Simple access to Netflix and Amazon Video
What's not so great: Searching without a keyboard can be cumbersome
I got this to replace a Google TV that was having problems. This unit does not have all of the functionality of Google TV, but I was only using Google TV for Netflix and Amazon. For those 2 functions the Roku works great, easy to setup, easy to use and good picture quality. Especially since Amazon has a built in app, with Google TV it was frustrating trying to navigate Amazon via the web, in order to watch movies.

What's great about it: Small, easy setup, good price
What's not so great: does not support Asian characters, no Youtube
I prefer my original setup: PC + USB to HDMI + HD TV + wireless media keyboard. Roku has HuluPlus but not Hulu, which gives you a lot more free current TV episodes. Roku does not support Youtube so to watch Youtube videos you have to jump through some hoops. Roku does not support Asian characters so if you want to watch videos with Asian characters, you will not be too happy with it.

What's not so great: Wish there was more free movie or TV stations
This is a great product for the money, I now pretty much watch Netflix and Hulu to avoid the commercials on regular TV. Very easy to set up and add channels and choose programming. Love the size easy to pick up and move to another TV in the house or take it on a over night trip when away from the house.

The Roku is foolproof to setup and offers great performance and ease of use. Gives us access to a lot of different content with excellent quality that would be hard to get without it. Good selection of movie and shows including Netflix as well as I can get all my Pandora stations on it.

with the Roku I can stream movies from netflix and crackle anytime. And with crackle you don't have to pay anything. It sure beats watching the same movies over and over on cable or satellite. I have 3 total. 1 in the den, 1 in the livingroom, and 1 in the bedroom.

What's great about it: Easy set up
What's not so great: Roku requires your credit card to complete set up
Easy set up. Product code must be entered on the Roku website to complete set up. The process cannot be completed without your credit card number after you just spent $80 for the unit (not including cables). Best Buy needs to be aware of this when selling this unit to their customers.

What's great about it: It has freed me from the high cost of satellite tv
What's not so great: I can't think of one single thing
I cannot do without this wonderful black box. There is so much to choose from for whatever I may want to watch I love it. I use my hd tv for the local channels for the news other than that I am using my Roku and not missing direct tv at all and I'm saving so much money. I remember free tv when I was a child it was good enough then and this is as close to that (the free part) as you can get with tons more viewing options! Thank you Roku!
