Roku Works with mobile broadband card

Since Comcast and DSL are not available in my area, I use a mobile braodband data USB card from sprint that is connected to a Cradlepoint router. The router's user ID password must be disabled for the Roku XD to work well. In general, I'm very pleased with the Roku product.
Pros: Compact, Great value, Easy to use, Very easy to set up
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like it for its many uses, but most of the channels are boring and watching a film is like stop and go traffic: It stops and it goes. Overall I give it 3 stars for the access to quite a bit of stuff, I just wish it was modern stuff. I love Pandora!
Pros: Great value, Built in Wi-Fi, Compact, Easy to set up, Easy to use
Cons: Stop and go traffic, Need fast internet service
I would recommend this to a friend!

There is plenty of free content. But most good content is expensive. Should have researched better before purchasing. Hopefully more content will be added. I have minimal AT&T DSL, but happy with quality of video.
Pros: Easy to use, Compact, Easy to set up, Built in Wi-Fi
Cons: Want more video choices, Good content cost more
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very easy and fun to use. As of Dec 2010, though, the selection on Netflix and Hulu Plus streaming is much smaller than variety on DVDs and your computer respectively.
Pros: Compact, Built in Wi-Fi, Easy to use, Easy to set up
Cons: Want more video choices
