Anyone have a Roku player?

[GAMEC0CK2002]

Was looking on Amazon at this, and was interested. How well does it work?

I'd like to get netflix streaming up to the plasma in my bedroom without having to run ethernet cables down the stairs.

I guess this, or a wireless blu ray player, or a 360/PS3 could do the job.

Does anyone have one of these now? I am interested in getting one, but have been reading so many mixed reviews it's making my decision harder. I would really like to get one for use with MLB.TV and the WWE Network.

Interested to hear some OS reviews if anyone has the Roku 1, 2, or 3.

I've had one for years. It works fine. Not sure why'd you be seeing mixed reviews on it unless people were trying to get things out of it that it doesn't do, like watch YouTube. For Netflix, MLB, NHL, I never had problems with it. It doesn't get as much use these days since I don't have Gamecenter this winter, but still works fine for Netflix.

I have a Roku
My Model Number is "Roku 2 XD" 3050X it's wireless and I have no problems with it when I did nextflix. However I also on an Apple TV and just to let you know if your thinking about the roku I would maybe give Apple TV a try over Roku because I think quality of video is much better on an Apple TV but this just my opinion. I hope I helped! But the roku is okay!

I've got a Roku 3. I got it around Christmas. It works great and I have no complaints.

Yeah, the Roku 3 is the one I was thinking about getting. I had it in my hands yesterday and put it back. Wanted to get some info on it first. I always read up on electronic purchases before I buy them.
