| Bottom line | The
Roku 2 XS is an excellent Internet media box, but most users will find the cheaper Roku LT or Roku HD models to be a better deal. | The WD TV Play is the best alternative to Roku and
Apple TV for viewers looking to access their personal media collection. | The Netgear Neo TV NTV300 is one of the cheapest streaming boxes on the market, but it doesn't offer any compelling distinguishing features compared with the Roku. | While it lacks integrated Wi-Fi and is more expensive than the Roku or
Apple TV , the WD TV Live Hub's combination of snazzy interface and built-in 1TB hard drive will appeal to advanced users who have a lot of existing files they want to view on an HDTV or stream to other PCs on a network. | Info unavailable |
