| Bottom line | The Elgato HDHomeRun is a decent way to get over-the-air TV on your
Mac, but its high bandwidth requirements mean you're better off opting for wired rather than Wi-Fi streaming. | The WD TV Live (2011) offers a solid combination of must-have streaming services and excellent USB and network file support, making it one of the best devices of its kind available for under $100. | The
Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, with tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance, and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack. |
