Awesome product, great value.
on January 12, 2011
Posted by: Meg
from Allentown, PA
The Roku box is awesome. Easy to set-up and use, very intuitive, and all for a very reasonable price. I only wish there were more free channels; however, I am thrilled how I can use Roku for my Netflix and utilize other great channels. Definitely preview channel options before you buy if you're unsure. Works great in regular def. or HD.
Pros: Built in Wi-Fi, Compact, Reliability, Video selection, Easy to set up, Great value, Easy to use
Cons: Want more video choices
I would recommend this to a friend!

Almost Perfect

Verified Purchase:No
Although very simple to use, there are no directions, such as how do you turn the movies off, or do you. Do you turn Roku off when not using. These are simply questions that should be included with unit, not have to send questions on a computer and await answers.
Pros: Easy to use, Easy to set up, Compact, Reliability, Built in Wi-Fi, High quality picture
Cons: Want more video choices

The XD Delivers
on January 12, 2011
Posted by: Roc
from Pittsburgh, PA
After one month of use, I can report a good over-all experience using the Roku with NetFlix. Service has been very reliable. Lots of children's videos available for streaming. I wish more types of movies and more recent releases were available for streaming. One set-up problem: despite repeated attempts, the XD would not connect to my Netgear Wireless-G router using WPA security. I had to drop back to WEP -- a hassle to reconfigure the other devices on the network and a security loss.
Pros: Built in Wi-Fi, Reliability, Compact, Easy to use
Cons: Want more video choices

Works Great! Needs a Comcast App...
on January 12, 2011
Posted by: John
from Concord, CA
Comcast has a App. that I use on my cellphone to check the TV schedule and tell my DVR to record any show I want. Also, one can play a "On Demand" program from Comcast on my computer. So, an App. on my ROKU box that would allow me to see The Comcast TV schedule, record and watch on my ROKU box would be fantastic.
Pros: Video selection, Easy to set up, Built in Wi-Fi, Reliability, Great value, Compact, Love Netflix, Easy to use, High quality picture
Cons: Needs a Comcast App

Need more setting options
on January 12, 2011
Posted by: Jack
from Wyoming
Hook up was easy, and connection to the internet was fast. This unit needs an on/off button. Should be able to search for movies as a stand alone option, not with previously viewed shows. Need to view Recently released movies and not have to wait so long. Also, New releases that become available to view, should be listed instead of having to search for a movie only to find out that it is not available to view on Roku yet.
Pros: Compact, Great value, Easy to set up, Built in Wi-Fi, Easy to use
Cons: Want more video choices

So simple, and so much fun!

This is a wonderful device. When it arrived, it took me all of about 10 minutes to get it going. The picture quality is great, and we use it with our Netflix account for streaming. I'm looking forward to using it this coming baseball season to get MLB.TV. Compared to buying the MLB Extra Innings package on DirecTV, that's going to save more than the cost of getting the Roku. Thanks for a great product, folks. We're enjoying it very much.
Pros: Video selection, Netflix streaming, Built in Wi-Fi, Great value, Compact, High quality picture, Easy to set up, Reliability, Easy to use
