Cons The main downer really is that Netflix instant streaming catalog is somewhat limited. Playing videos from drives works okay but it's a bit clunky to fast forward--no chapter recognition either. on December 12, 2010 by jshop  | Read full review

Cons Roku uses nonstandard component video cable (3.5 mm plug to 3 RCA connectors). Calble is not available from any cable supplier on the internet or elsewhere and Roku is out of stock. on November 27, 2010 by tomscot2  | Read full review

Cons I wish more content was free and integrated by default. The addition of PlayOn puts the box on a whole new pedestal and its not even reflected in CNET's review on December 3, 2010 by saunupe1911  | Read full review

Cons No easy solution for personal media content streaming, requires special cables if you don't go with HDMI on May 16, 2011 by mseals  | Read full review

Cons Would be better if has a built in hard disk to prevent stream from dropping on occasion. on February 23, 2011 by fencer55  | Read full review

Cons Not a big deal, but you need to use web site to add most channels by adding access code. That might be true with any streaming device. If you don't have a dual channel wi-fi router, save a few bucks and buy a cheaper model in this line. on November 11, 2010 by mcrofut  | Read full review

Cons no youtube, no slingplayer, no playon, hulu plus is a costly bust, no regular hulu, a remote that would control the TV would be a big plus on December 11, 2010 by tpriddy  | Read full review
