| Great Product; Lousy Content: Rating: 2/5 |
The Roku works great. The problem is the Lousy Choices offered by Netflix. They have neither current movies or Old movies or TV shows. Just B movies from the Late 90's.
I love Gumsmoke; Netflix has Gunsmoke DVD's; it seems a natural for Roku but NO they do not have it. |

| Live's up to Hype: Rating: 5/5 |
| This little box is insanely easy to setup and use. We've got ours wirelessly connected to our Apple Airport Extreme with no issues. If you have a Netflix account that supports streaming and a HDTV and haven't bought this item you're seriously missing out on some of the most effortless entertainment imaginable! |

| Perfect Addition to the Video Set Up: Rating: 5/5 |
I bought my Roku player the day they announced it and I have loved it ever since. The addition Amazon Video on Demand was nice to because it allowed me to watch Eureka and Psych (we do not have cable so I miss out on the good SyFy or USA shows). I am looking forward to the addition to the Channel Store and still hoping for Hulu.
The High Definition streaming is nice but you must make sure you have a internet connection of 3.5 mps or faster. I have a 3.0 mps connection and it would stop to re-buffer every 10-15 minutes or so. It was annoying so I stick with the normal quality which is quite watchable and cheaper if buying a TV show.
Highly recommended. |

| Excellent player for Netflix: Rating: 5/5 |
I purchased this produce from Amazon a month back. The product arrived in its original box. It was shipped from the Bay Area so I got it the very next day.
The setup was pretty simple. I connected it to my 720P HDTV. I had to manually set the resolution to 720P in the menu though. It connected to the wireless network over WPA Personal, downloaded an update and restarted. I had to set the wireless settings again. I think it erased the old settings when it updates the firmware.
Anyway, once it was setup, it works amazingly well. The HD movies were in amazing clarity and without any hitches even over a wireless network connection. I have used the player over a month now and I'm completely satisfied with the product. |

| I just bought my second Roku!!!!: Rating: 5/5 |
| I just purchased my second Roku in 2 months. I now have one in the living room and one in the bedroom. I hardly even watch DirectTv anymore. It is easy to setup and use. I love classic tv and movies so the selection has been great. Before you buy, check out their watch instantly offerings to see if you would watch what they have available. Starz and Showtime have quite a bit of content on it as well. I have ordered Amazon titles and have had no problem. Also make sure you have the right amount of internet download speed to watch the movies. I believe the Roku requires at least 4 mps but don't quote me. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Well worth the price for hours of hassle free entertainment. |
