What I Think Of Roku!
I just bought a ROKU Box for my living room a month or so ago and I must say that It is the best little entertainment device I have bought in a while. I love it, my wife loves it and my daughter even comes home more from college to sleep on the couch watching hulu plus.
The best part for me is that now I don't have to leave my PS3 in the living room for family use, I can Use the rokus HDMI input and just leave it there permanently but I can also carry it with me to hotels and on vacations, that rocks hard. The only con I can think of is that the wireless is not as strong as a gaming system.
The Roku box is good for about 80% the distance of a laptop, that means its good all throughout the house but you will not be leaving the wireless router in the basement and then watching netflix using the roku out in the garage. I actually had to put my router on the Main level of the house to get an HD signal in the rear attic rooms (2 floors away) which is to be expected considering the distance.
I suggest getting at least one for your house. I have since cancelled cable because I hadn't watched it in nearly a month and hated to pay the $150 bill. Now My total entertainment bill is $8 for netflix + $8 for Hulu Plus and that allows me to watch 500 or more television shows (network also) in whole seasons and also shows from different regions of the country and over seas. I am in love with Misfits, a show from Britain. A ROKU box should be on your list of things to buy and it even saves money. I also have Netflix which allows me to watch any movie I want , add that to VUDU and you can watch 1st run movies. This is awesome and I am never going back to cable.
