Roku heads...

Just added a porn channel....will test and report back...

here is the code: 32ZUX
 
which do you have???

I have the XDS and the Roku 2 XS.

Funny or Die channel is cool.

People asking what is Roku???

It's the box that is killing apple tv, Google TV, boxee and all that other BS out there.

Roku 2 XS just released and see why it made CNET editors choice.

http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-media-receivers/roku-2-xs/4505-6739_7-34850104.html

Hell just put in Roku 2 XS and review and count how many sites have nothing but praised for it.

No other box has more content than the Roku.

I see why we won't see an Apple TV 2, why google TV closed up shop and Boxxee well who really gives a fuck :lol::lol::lol:


If you are a tech head add Revision3.

:lol::lol:

what cause you hacked it???

No offense but I download movies.

I can do the same thing on my PC.

The thing you proved is why the Roku has out sold all of the other boxes to date and why more companies are getting behind it.

The Roku doesn't have to be hacked to get the most out of it.

My main gripe with Apple TV, in addition to its limited Web content, is that the remote lacks a "home" and "back" button.

now this review was before Roku out sold all the other boxes

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/technology/2011/06/apple_tv_vs_roku.html

Roku is an exciting upstart company with a device that's attracting scores of media companies to develop independent multimedia content for its platform. That means more choices for the consumer. If you value independent fare, take a close look at the Roku.

So, back to the original question: Apple TV or Roku 2? Or should you go with one of those "door No. 3" options?

As usual, there's no definitive answer, but here's our rule of thumb:

If you want the widest variety of content, go with Roku.

In the end, it was a close fight. Apple TV had the edge on design and interface, whereas Roku offered better connectivity and--most importantly--much more content.

As we close out 2010, we're giving the edge to the Roku XDS. But--as always--the Apple TV may only be a firmware update away from taking back the crown. We have a feeling these two contenders may be returning to the ring very soon.

Different strokes for different folks.

It's cool if you enjoy Apple TV but there is a reason why the Roku is killing it in sales and why Apple said there won't be an apple tv 2 and cancel their tv rentals two weeks ago.

Roku >Apple

Numbers don't lie
 
One question can the roku stream my files on my hard drive from my PC or mac, a flash drive or external hard drive?
 
another thing if you upgrade to OS X Lion you can no longer stream to your wdtv unless you use third party apps.

http://elan.plexapp.com/2011/05/03/plex-on-the-roku/

there are several other options I did this one

Want more control over the way files are appearing on your Roku? Then take a look at Roksbox, which utilizes a web server on your computer to access local media. Sounds complicated, but it’s actually really simple, especially if you’re on a Mac. Just open your System Preferences > Sharing and enable Web Sharing. Now install the private Roksbox channel on your Roku (channel code P1KWQ). Roksbox offers a bunch of additional features to organize your media and display additional information about your videos and music files — so if you’re a serious data hoarder, take a look at this one.

does apple TV has as much content as the Roku.

No offense but this is pointless.

:lol::lol::lol:

Roku has already proven that it is the better product with it sells.

Google TV has reduced it price because no one was buying.

Apple said in July they are basically done with apple TV.

Boxxee :lol::lol::lol:

It's like you are arguing that VHS is better than DVD.

If you like Apple better cool.

If you feel it's better cool.

Don't state it as a fact homie because you have nothing to support your argument. While I can quote nearly every tech website that will say the Roku is better and offer more content.

I can list which one has sold the most.

Which one has more third party companies getting behind it.

again you are free to feel how you want but your feelings don't make it fact.

Apple has already said it's a wrap for apple tv while the Roku released the Roku 2 XS

Roku the set-top streaming media box company have been busy raising $8 million of new funds for their streaming business from investors including an individual investment from Google’s vice president of TV and film entertainment, Robert Kyncl. Other investors include Menlo Ventures and Globespan Capital.
roku 2 300x135 Roku Raises New Funds From Investors For Streaming Services

Roku attracting investors

The funding round takes the total raised by Roku to around $32 million raised to date, and comes just as Roku launched the latest version 2 of its broadband media set-top boxes, which in addition to streaming video, also Wii style gaming to the TV set.

The new Roku 2 boxes appeal to investors as they have the same price structure as previous boxes, but they are small and compact, come with a free copy of hit game Angry Birds. Plus the new units have available a $30 motion sensor-based enhanced remote is available for a “casual gaming” experience. More games are promised soon.

The Roku box has been a surprise success even in the face of stiff competition and have already shifted 1 million units, with that number expected to hit 3 million this year. The media boxes allow users to stream content from the Web to the TV set, choosing from channels such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Crackle and YouTube.

again homie

Roku already won. You have to hack your Apple TV to get the most out of it.

I and millions of others didn't want have to do that. We open the box up plug it in to our TV and got the more out of than any other box

exactly

If someone prefers Apple over Roku. cool or vice versa but at the same time let people know everything.

I let someone know. Roku only plays Mp4.

Yea you can streams from your PC.

I always say buy what's best for you.

I like variety and Apple TV didn't offer it.

Ben is trying to make it sound like Apple blows Roku out the water. When it's actually the other way around.

I like Roku and WD. My WD freezes up a lot though.
 
yall getting mad as hell

im simply saying

apple tv with icefilms is better than the roku

Who is getting mad.

Ben its funny you are defending a box that has already lost.

I haven't cussed u out or said u were this or that. You. Have a different opinion. Cool I respect. I just said don't try to make it seem like apple tv blows roku out the water because as I said and proved. Roku has already won.

Its like your team lost the championship game and you are saying your team is better.


While everyone else is looking around saying "the other team has the trophy."

That's what this is. Roku has moved on to Roku 2 while Apple is done. With AppleTV


Then again u came in a roku thread to say how better the product that lost to roku is hahahhahahahah


Again this is funny.

Like someone saying how great the miami big three is and howuch more talented their big three is than Dirkbut he sitting at home with a chip
 
you know you lost when you start ( :lol: ) in every reply



please tell me how watching everything for free (new releases r5,screeners,new tv shows or old stuff) without any effort or turning the pc on is not better then wasting time downloading the content first on your pc
then either stream it to the roku or transfer the files to the external drive and connecting it to the roku
