My wdtv works fine - it can convert more files than Roku as far as I can see, but I would be willing to switch to Roku if someone can tell me how Roku is better...

Why switch when you can have the best of both worlds. I use my WDTV to play files and my Roku to stream live shows, Netflix, Hulu plus, Sports, internet videos, etc......
Say word? Well, let me check it out then...my cable bill is a bitch...thanks...
I wouldn't say the roku is better, the only advantage it has over the wdtv are the online channels it offers. I personally prefer to watch my online content on my computer and leave the tv for movies
Yea man. Dont give up your WD. There's not one box that can do it all. I think that point has been made. But there's no box that comes close to what Roku can do. It's the only Cable Killer out there.
lol you are joining the agentcreed, divine gang. you work for roku?
I dont know what any of that means except the last part. So no I dont work for Roku.
if u have them both running into hdmi on the tv you should be able to just switch from tv, to hdmi1 to hdmi2 w/ the remote.
I was thnking about getting one of these, either a Lenovo or a Asus, but decided to go with the Roku because it was a cheaper option and I didn't want to have to be tied to a keyboard/mouse. I bought two, just ordered the second one last night for $47 off Roku's site, free shipping plus 20% off the Roku 2 HD.
Makes sense. I have four HDMI slots on my tv, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Still, it seems that for right now, the best idea is to get them both, right?
seems that way if you have movies downloaded and want to see online content too.
yes, it comes with the appropriate RCA/composite cables,
Say Word!
whats the name of the channel?
yeah it worked. thanks.
I think there are minor differences.Is the XD that much better than the LT. I'm about to picking one up today.

XD has:
Expandable memory slot plus Bluetooth
Plays the best HD video (1080p)
the hd is the best bet right now.
Just Bought One. Goodlookin out again BGOL

yea im waiting on mine.
yo is there a channel/ channels that has the content that icefilms has? bunch of current and just released movies? probably not. just asking.
also, anybody know a good way to stream video to a tv and simultaneously work on that same laptop? pc or mac...
cuz it was on sale for $47 over the weekend.
Still waiting on a good Icefilms alternative....NokNok has folders with flicks to stream, current and just released, but the quality is poor. give it time.
supposedely you can get icefilms to work using playon on the roku.
i dont know how it works but i'm gonna try to figure it out when i get it.

here's a thread where people are troubleshooting it but looks like they are getting nowhere fast.
and some random channels that hve prolly been posted
still got basic cable bcos of wifey so all i need is icefilms
It's still in Beta....but there is a youtube work around it. Also, there are a number of channels that will/should be available, I guess we have to wait until it's ready.
No Mac
Oh well, I guess I will have to powerup my old desktop PC.....but I have to keep it on?
