    I'm a current ROKU user but am thinking of getting another box.
    I'm undecided, should I stay with Roku, (where I started 12 mths ago) or, by popular opinion, is there now better one the market??
    Your thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Ive got the Roku, WD and Boxee.

    Boxee runs circles around the lot IMHO, however the only constructive criticism of it is has no remote headphone socket and you do have to point the remote at the unit to work it.

    Id happily swap my Roku for a Boxee in a blink of an eye.....

    have to agree with godz the reviews on the Boxee are rated a lot higher than the Roku and WD, but at the end of the day its down to user choice

    I bought mine as a return from office works, someone bought it and couldn't get "internet tv" so i took a punt and it worked out.

    Otherwise ive never looked into buying one, but what ive seen so far is they are not cheap compared to the other 2 brands.

    Thanks God,
    Too be honest the price isn't that big a deal.
    This is the other box that I'm looking at and it's not cheap either, but by hell if it lives up to the specs

    Ohhh I should mention the Xios works a hell of a lot faster (and better in my opinion) with the Linux image
