"Too soon to rate"
Pros: Easy, convenient, great to have
Cons: Current available video/audio quality is mediocre
Summary: I love this box and for $99 its a steal. Much better than the DVD mailer route for:
1. FREE grandkids shows that are needed on the spur of the moment,
2. FREE short indy videos that I'd never queue up otherwise,
3. FREE for surfing music DVDs just to check them out (I'm suddenly a Yanni fan),
4. FREE for TV shows (Heroes) that was already on my regular queue,
5. FREE, yes for older stuff that I just use as filler when my DVDs haven't arrived.
6. FREE instant selection from 10K offerings.
NOTE: The box is capable of much better audio/video, all the way up to HDMI and digital HD video and 5.1 audio as soon as the bandwidth and source offerings are available. And for right now, $99 up front and FREE re-curring cost is out-of-the-ballpark unique, like, not offered by anyone else. Until the available source material improves I don't see how anyone can rate the box itself at anything under a "10".
