    "You Have been Warned"

    by fraklinc on May 25, 2008

    Pros: Unlimitted movie streaming & is cheap

    Cons: don't know from where to start, See below

    Summary: There's no major studios backing up this thing so although it has 10000 tittles available, it's stuff you have never heard of before. Do yourself a favor buy a Vudu or Apple TV box instead or you will be just throwing your money in the trash, Also the video quality on the netflix box is not even DVD quality so i will not recommend it to anyone. I guess must people giving this a high rating, ether work for netflix or never even have try this junk out

    Some may be Dirk Dirkowizes that try to hook an RCA RF connection into their TVs and expect a 1080i/p resolutions. Ain't gonna happen!!

    What, are you some kind of Apple or Vudu faithful who feels threatened by the Roku? The Roku rocks! We love it. The quality is great and there is plenty to watch. Why comment on something that YOU have obviously not used. This is going to kill Apple TV and Vudu. A real no brainer. The future has finally arrived. RIP Apple TV.

    I have mine up and running and am VERY happy with it. There are more than enough of the OVER 10K movies that anyone will be familiar with. I think you must work for apple!! HA!

    Speaking of throwing money in the trash, it might be a good idea to mention that you've only got 24hrs to watch your Vudu movies..... Uh oh, real life strikes again and I've run out of time gotta pay to download this again dammit.

    I've found a lot of classic movies in Netflix that I can't find anywhere else; perhaps you were born in 1998 since you haven't heard of any of these movies. And lastly, if you can't find the movie online, just get it from regular Netflix at no extra cost.....sounds like a good way to save money to me.

    I'm suspicious of reviews that say the quality is rotten but DON'T say that they've actually watched the device (I haven't watched yet using the device, but I have watched Netflix instant viewing on my 37" HDTV and it's not perfect, but certainly watchable).
