would this be the same as a media player?
For the amount they spend on marketing, you'd think that these things were actually good.
I've never used one, but I have a friend with one of these and he loves it.
Mind you, he's not very technical... and uses it mostly just to watch Netflix on his TV...
This is not a media player for playing content from your computer. It is designed to stream video from roku enabled channels on the Internet. You can watch video podcasts, listen to Pandora radio, watch Netflix, Huluplus, Crackle, and consume other ready made programming from the Internet. I have an older model with a USB interface which will allow playing of mp3s and a few video formats (not many) but we generally just use our Roku to watch Netflix on our tv. You can use plugins to watch or listen to files from your computer (playon software) but the results are not that great.
If you install Plex you can stream from your desktop/nas
Crappy deal when most of what it does can be had in any blu-ray player these days.
No blueray player at this price. Try doubling or tripling the price and then maybe.
This is the lower end model. You can get it at the link below for $49 + free shipping... $10 off the two higher end models...
