5out of 5

Pros: Easy to use, Great value, Video selection, Compact, Reliability, Built in Wi-Fi, Easy to set up, High quality picture

Cons: Need fast internet service

Best Uses: Internet Radio, Primary TV

Describe Yourself: Technophile

Given I am very internet savvy so I knew full well how to take advantage of this device from the start, but this is the future of TV. They are building the features of the Roku into TV's (Vizio, others) and selling them for a huge markup now. I wouldnt buy one, I'd buy this instead. Why? Its configurable. You can get Pandora, FlickR, SmugMug, and TEDTalks with this device. All for around $100 makes this the smart move.
