WDTV will allow you to stream from pc. Didn't see an option to stream on roku... :( bummer

@luckydog465 I know there are several options for Roku. PlayOn is one...but there are a few more media servers with a roku channel as well.

I got the Roku XS and I love it...if you get HBO thru your cable provider you get it free and SHOWTIME is the same way...I get Netflix was paying 22.00 a month for DVDs now I got only the online version and added HULU PLUS and I am still not paying as much as i did for just the netflix actually only pay 16.00 for both...plus I get games and apps I can buy, the prices are fair i am sooo glad I bought this...if anybody has any questions please ask I will try to answer...

@starfire19752007 Great to hear!! Now that I am planning on finally cancelling my cable plan, I may get the Roku again as a supplement to my Apple TV...now that it seems like they worked out the bugs with the new units. Thanks for the comment!

doest it have HBO and showtime?  if so how much for those channels?

[techgooch]

@Kapado Hmm...I am not sure. I would check the Roku website to see what their channel lineup is.

I think there are so many other better media players out there than this one and cheaper i personaly would prefer a android media player or android tv box to this.

This things good but very restricted to what you can do. Just depends on the individual i suppose.

I enjoyed the video. The guy is cool calm and collective

Great video Techgooch. We are getting Roku2 this week via Amazon. Now that you've had it for awhile, did you cancel satellite?

[newwoman1124]

kool, can't wait to get it. We haven't had cable in over a yr. I was considering turning it back on bc we just use Netflix through the Wii, and that is so boring after a while. They really need to update their stuff.

[AtheistDarter]

Please give more examples on how small it is! Cant get enough!
