4out of 5

Pros: Easy to set up, High quality picture, Built in Wi-Fi, Easy to add content, Easy to use, Reliability, Compact

Cons: Bad privacy, Want more video choices, No You Tube

Best Uses: Secondary TV

Describe Yourself: Technophile, Home entertainment enthusiast, Power User, Movie buff

I like the fact that users can install custom applications and channels on the device. I also like the fact that individuals can develop independent content for the device without having to spend an arm and a leg or jump through licensing hoops. What I deeply dislike about the Roku is the fact that one has to supply payment information just to use the device even for free services.
