Roku HD user reviews (2000C)

Cons I agree about lack of hulu support, but Roku could always add that. Blu-Ray or game systems don't either so I don't see that as a disadvantage really. They really couldn't have done any better, I would recommend this to anyone on September 22, 2010 by bubazoo  | Read full review

Cons Lack of video connections. Only Composite and HDMI on this particular model; component was dropped in order to shrink things down. on September 23, 2010 by Mystakill  | Read full review

Cons Cnet has little info about alternatives including the WD TV Live Plus HD, and actually no mention at all of the brite-View CinemaGo or CinemaTube media extenders, all of which can do Netflix. on September 23, 2010 by FranklinH10  | Read full review

Cons Using the HDMI cable on my Sony hd tv creates a green screen on the Roku if left for a few days without use. Must be an HDMI handshake issue with the Sony. Resorted to using component cables and haven't had a problem since. on September 22, 2010 by logos  | Read full review

Cons Main menu can be sluggish, lost wifi settings, no Youtube support, majority of "channels" require a subscription, finding a specific channel can be a challenge, no Hulu plus support on September 24, 2010 by mdavis03  | Read full review

Cons While Roku is a good client for Internet media servers, it's EPIC FAIL as a client for my in-home media servers. Duh.
There's no on/off switch. on August 15, 2011 by wildbillc777  | Read full review

Cons Sometimes when I watch on HULU and I try to pause a show, I get some weird issues, like picture in picture and its all out of sinc. Not sure if that's user error or not! but other than that, I have no issues with it. Maybe more channels? on May 17, 2011 by lhiatt  | Read full review

Cons Clunky interface, primitive networking, slow response on a fast network, very limited content, extra cost for other channels have no value due to lack of worthwhile content, and NO technical or billing support from Roku beyond basic hardware functions. on May 12, 2011 by petown  | Read full review

Cons only that it has limited amount of shows on March 16, 2011 by alleriodrone  | Read full review

Cons wireless connection problems. on February 7, 2011 by kennybfine  | Read full review

Cons The set-up, which requires "codes" from the provider's web-site, (MLB, NetFlix and many others) could be simplified... this is a very minor gripe. on October 13, 2010 by abez22  | Read full review

Cons Cold boots (such as when first plugged in) are slower than expected. on October 10, 2010 by d.purser  | Read full review

Cons I didn't want to enter anything here but the CNET form requires me to write this. on October 8, 2010 by Desertstraw  | Read full review

Cons Needs to access more Internet content. on September 24, 2010 by chili_picante  | Read full review

Cons Interface design and apps outside of Netflix (e.g., Amazon VOD, MP3Tunes) are still very klutzy, sometimes unusable, visually unappealing, and on the level of DIY home projects. Component video on the XDS is a joke. on September 24, 2010 by Cresence  | Read full review

Cons Unfortunately, it really only does one thing (albeit well). on September 23, 2010 by mdbirnbaum  | Read full review

Cons Would not run for more 5-20 minutes without freezing in "download" mode. on September 28, 2010 by JohnnyBeagle  | Read full review

Cons No Hulu Plus support...yet? on September 24, 2010 by wburychka  | Read full review

Cons No access to existing media over a network. Not a good choice for folks trying to access media from their media computers/hard drives remotely. on September 23, 2010 by Todd Templeton  | Read full review
