Roku 2 XS 7 months later
At the time of the video, It was 7 months later, but at the time of this Post, it's actually 10 months later.
As I said in the Video, I really don't watch cable, in fact I've terminated my contract as I don't use my TV anymore unless it's connected to my Roku.
I have the 2 XS model & I find the ethernet port very useful unlike the USB port which is useless because it plays only mp4 files.
I use Netflix & I managed to get hulu for free on my Roku, you could watch my Post here about how to get it to work for free on your Roku.
There are a lot of free channels and a lot of lists on the internet (search for free Roku channels) that let you enjoy. You could subscribe to HBO or amazon prime & some other paid channels that offer up to date contents, hell there are sports channels too. but one of my favorite Channels are PLEX for Roku, which lets you stream media from your Computer to your TV & you can add any content to it from movies to tv shows & songs. talking about songs, you can add Rdio or Pandora which give you a lot of songs that you love.
The gaming remote is amazing, but I don't use it. It's just that I am not into gaming, but it's great for kids, It feels like a Nintendo Remote with a superb motion sensor that is really accurate.
There is an iOS app offered for free by Roku which is a Remote control too & it offers the same functionality as the Remote with the physical buttons. but I don't like it & that's because I like to feel the remote in my hands, Clicky & gives you the feedback that a button was clicked, unlike the iPhone's touch screen.
This overview is conclusive for all Roku models, they are all great, from the LT to the 2 XS. you could save money & go for the LT if you don't need the gaming Remote & the Ethernet/USB ports.
bottom line: You will never go wrong with a Roku, it's amazing, I highly recommend it!
