Roku heads...

Damn i wish I would've seen the bensoutlet price before I bought my 2...but $70 each isnt bad. Still trying to get the Roku fully operational, seen some good ish so far tho. Trying to get Epix and Ustvnow to work. Forgot about firstrowsports, will add that tonight. They have youtube 1080p videos on the 1080 showcase channel

Also for local media someone told me to try plex. Im not too concerned because my PS3 is my main media player.

I have no issues using my roku to stream via plex from my computer. I like the options plex has, plus there is an android and iOS client app. I can resume playback from any point in a show/movie on any device that connects to plex.
 
Same here. I have no problem streaming anything up to 1080p. You guys are doing something wrong. Check out Roksbox.
 
Just picked up a new Roku 2 XS bundle with HDMi cable for $69.99 from costco. And a big bottle 1.75 liter Kirkland Vodka for $13.99:yes:
 
What’s up fam? I just copped a Ruko 2xs from best buy with a gift card. I’m using the Juice app to stream from my GS3 and my Galaxy tab 10.1. I need to know how can I capture video from my Roku. Anybody?:dunno:

Crazy ass!!!! 8TB...:eek::yes:

My rig (Windows 7 running Plex) has 3TB internal storage, and I have a 3TB external attached via usb 3.0

I do plan to add another 2TB, and not have to use the external.

Finding Plex is a blessing!!!!! :yes:

Hell yeah it can. Thanks to the annual $10 investment, get your content here, load it on a flash drive or spare hard drive and your roku can read a bunch of movie files from there.

Roku got the external media port ? Why d fuck am I with appletv2 ?
 
With Roku, is there a channel that will allow me to watch a live tv station from my hometown when I'm in another state? I have seen some channels that offer a selection of cities but what if mine isn't listed? Is there an option to choose any city you want. Curious.

U use both ATV and Roku ? What's the difference ?
Click to expand...

The ATV was cooler with PLEX until I upgraded the firmware:smh: now it's slooow as shit the inteface isn't clean and smooth as it used to be. My Roku is the shit now interface just don't look as nice as ATV did. They really the same except the Roku can take a external HDD with a app and you can add channels. ATV just got Hulu so it's cool.but mainly I use it with Airplay. Like when I'm on youtube on my phone or streaming music from my PC in the bedroom. I would go with the Roku if you looking to purchase.
 
Roku 3's updated interface is now available on Roku 2 models. Just go into your settings, under software update and it takes about two minutes!
