Roku heads...

Fam you got to give us some feedback on how good the Opera browser works with the S200. I have the older S100.

And just a side note. You could have picked up both the Roku and the Sony less than a $100 bucks. The Roku LT is only $49. And The Sony N100 is $49 too.

I'll give feedback on the browser once I mess around with it a bit.

I did consider the N100, but just did not like the size of it.

I had a budget of $60 on whatever I was going to get. Initially was going to get the RokuLT. Then the RokuHD went down to $59, and to top it off, got by certificates from Best Buy ($15).

I compared the RokuHD to the Sony N200, and apart from the RokuHD having more channels, I still chose the Sony for the simple fact that I can plug an external to it, and watch videos that way. If I had a better PC, i would have gone for the Roku, and just streamed. My "media" PC is old as shit (like6/7 years old).

For my needs I believe the N200 will do.

And thanks to you guys for all the help along the way answering questions. :yes:
 
Another streaming player to compete with both the Roku,and Appletv2
is going to be released soon.

Not only will it function as a streaming media player,but also as
a full fledged mini-pc the size of a credit card.
The XBMC team where able to port XBMC to it so you will be able to
stream Icefilms,Navi-X,and the rest like on the Atv2.

First only the board will be released at $25,and $35 with HDMI
output next month,and in the following months it will be available
with case remote control,etc,etc.



 
I'm in Korea and I want to watch shows back in the states. So will I be able to do this with the Roku?

Since I'm in Korea it blocks streaming from some sites or something I heard. Has anyone heard of unblockusa.com ? I guess it sends my IP through the US so I can get to everything like in the states.

What do you guys recommend for my situation? Thanks.

I know it's only $5, but fuck that, this is BGOL...Hit my PM with the script Bro...:D
 
Trying to get off cable altogether, my bill 160 a month....about to kill landline and cable but Sparatcus just started....sigh.
 
I ended up getting an SMP N100 only because I got it for $27. The interface is very basic and I thought of still getting a Roku just because. Anyone know any hacks for the N100?
 
How do you get playon on roku?

No dream selling Bro. I was suprised when HBO HD Starz HD and a couple others was on there. Tried them and they do work. I tried it after reading reviews on a couple blog sites. I didn't expect much, but I am cable free truly.

I read that it will run playon as well

they also stated that sony bodied the playon option with a firmware update on a previous model

so kats recommended checking first before updating
