Love It

I've only had the Roku XD for a few weeks now, but I am constantly amazed by everything it can access. Vimeo, Youtube (via third party app), Netflix, Amazon, Picasa photos, etc. My only hangup at this point is that it can't access Hulu Basic, only Hulu Plus, which has a monthly fee. We got the Roku to avoid monthly fees above and beyond our Netflix fee. Renting movies from Amazon.com and watching Netlfix instant is fantastic. We went with the XD because we have an older tv (composite input) that we were not quite ready to part with but it's nice to know that when we upgrade - most likely to an HD tv - the XD can hook up via HDMI and play full 1080i video. We love this little thing. Sometimes we just listen to Radio Lab podcasts on TuneIn Radio as we get ready for bed. Awesome!
Pros: Easy to set up, Great value, Built in Wi-Fi, Compact, High quality picture, Easy to use
Cons: Want more video choices, Can't access Hulu Basic

Very easy to set up and use. Great features such as netflix & hulu. Load time when turning on can last a while sometimes. Im using the RCA cables since my tv did not have HDMI so the picture quality is ok, could be better. Overall a great product.
Pros: Easy to set up, Built in Wi-Fi, Great value, Easy to use
Cons: Want more video choices

Pretty Happy So Far

from San Diego, CA
I'm was not sure I'd like it but I've been pleased in general. I usually use NetFlix and it does not take long to forget I'm watching through the Roku box. The only problem was the Roku box would drop my wireless signal. I have two AP on different channels, one G, one N. At times it was not reliable on either. Went to Ethernet over Power and that seems to have resolved the issue.
Pros: High quality picture, Easy to use, Great value, Easy to set up, Compact, Video selection
Cons: Wireless setup reliabilit
