    This is a crappy device.... It was nice while working... but since there is NO POWER BUTTON it runs all the time and died in about 7 months. Worked nice at first controlling cablebox, receiver, and TV functions, albeit with some noticeable delay. The Keyboard function was nice when searching for videos on YouTube, but thats about it. Not worth it overall, given that there was never a decent MOVIE player. If you want all formats playback with fuctionally, get the the WD TV Live or Live Hub. Fast, smooth and clean Interface, plays everything. Disappointed BOTH from LOGITECH and Google for this mediocre product.

    I have one and would give it mixed reviews. It's good at some things and worth the money, but not very good at other things. The Netflix app works well. Much better than the TiVo netflix app. I don't have ROKU but I imagine it's the same as the Revue. The keyboard is nice for typing in keywords to search for movies and TV shows. The search is cool. It shows you what's playing now and what's available on Netflix, Cable, and Amazon.

    I've had issue wiht the web browser crashing. I've also had issues playing an Amazon video once. I'm not sure if it got overheate or messed up somehow and just needed to be unplugged and plugged back in.

    tI can stream my google music collection too. It does that well. Anyway, for $80 it's not bad, but far from perfect.

    Don't waste your money, this device was never supported and never will. Too many much better choices including the Vizio Co-Star for only $99. I own a Revue and all I use it for is as an overpriced Netflix box.

    Yes, like others said it's total waste of money, I use for netflix only other than that it's of no use. Very slow processor, very unreliable apps and narrow selection, freezes frequently oh did I mention out of the million products failures of Google, Google TV is one of them.
