Roku heads...
- Thread starter MrBee
- Start date
And I was looking to get one of these.
See I bought my Boxee's refurbed for $125 each. Both my Apple's from Craigslist for $50.
With jailbroken apple's and the boxee's, I am sure I can sell all and get at least $100 each and buy 4 used Apple TV 2' from Amazon or something and hack those...
The ultimate goal is faster processor for playing more movies at 720p and 1080p.
Roku sounds kewl, but can't convince wife and kids (teens) to watch a bunch of "online" content when all they primarily watch are stupid ass reality shows.
For avi or mkv playback, if you cats still don't have a WDTV, ya'll lost....this thread is damn near 3 years old...wtf were ya'll waiting for?

Doesn't AppleTV only output 720p? Also, doesn't AppleTV lack a usb port which makes playing files off a hard drive impossible?
There were rumors floating that the itunes wasnt selling as much downloads or rentals thru the devices and they wanted to discontinue selling AppleTV cause from a legal standpoint, the sales sucked. From an "illegal" standpoint? These shits sell hot if they are jailbroken, some selling them for $250 on Ebay. But Apple just dropped the price of the ATV2 to $89 and called it the '2010' model, they will be dropping the ATV3 is the rumor soon.

I've never used the USB port on my apple's, strictly streaming over my network wirelessly from my PC. As for 720p, that is what I have my vid projector set to, and the other tv I have in my son's room is a 32" only set to 720p.
Sold my Roku1 for 40 and picked one up off Woot the other day for 54$=WINNING!!
How much? I bought mine at Best Buy for $106.
$49.99

Why would you need both a Roku and WDTV?
Don't they do the same thing?
No, they are different devices altogether.
Democracy Now, BBC International, CNN International, Netflix, Hulu Plus, so many.....my wife and I have been browsing through our lineup, so far we have like 65+ channels....plus porn!

I have to have more time to review everything I have....I have been collecting channels on this thing like crazy...will try to come up with something soon.
These channels are free, or you have to have a paid sub to these channels?vDemocracy Now, BBC International, CNN International, Netflix, Hulu Plus, so many.....my wife and I have been browsing through our lineup, so far we have like 65+ channels....plus porn!
Free. There are also "private" channels, but they are free as well. Netfix and Hulu Plus you have to pay monthly though, of course.
thanks!!
99% of channels are free. And the number of channels are infinite since there are so many ways to access channels. They even got porn channels for niggas that just gotta have porn on your TV.

I only pay 7.99 for Netflix and Hulu Plus each....don't pay for anything else except for internet....do the math.
good lookin on the info bro
No problem b, I'm still new to Roku but have been without cable for a year....don't miss it at all.
fucked up that
wdtv plays the most file types
roku has the most channels
boxee and apple are the most flexible as far as getting streaming content off icefilms (most movies and popular shows)
wish 1 box had it all.

True...pick your poison. Its like video game consoles, all similar but different.
I have a Roku also,but you can not add all the channels mentioned in the posts.
I think that you can only add about 20 channels,then you will get this damn
error message telling you that you have to delete some saved channels in order to add more channels.
Is there a fix for this?
