The roku hd box does not work wirelessly had to eventually connect the ROKU with an ethernet cable to my modem/router box from AT&T."

I love this little machine. It's so little and cute and unobtrusive and SO portable!
If mine broke tomorrow I'd order another one right away. I just bought one as a gift for my friend. It's like, the best thing that has happened to my TV since TIVO! (though the new tivos make this kinda obsolete--this is infinitely more affordable~)
anyhow-super easy to install, controls so easy even my dad can operate it (and he can't even get ice out of the ice-maker on the refrigerator! I mean, come on!
So buy it and enjoy it. It facilitates one of my all time favorite things: Instant gratification!
PS. The price has REALLY gone down a lot from when I bought mine. Most likely because there are so many netflix ready devices out there now. But if you don't have a game system or tivo--it's perfect and you DO need it."

If anyone has netflix, there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't have this. My wife and I got rid of cable and we hooked up our computer to our tv for almost a year. Wires, cord and everyone was just so messy. The netflix box was hooked up in less than 30 seconds and it's very small! Picture quality isn't any better than that of my computer, but the convenience of the box is the best part. I now have a remote and no wire mess!
If you're thinking about this box, stop thinking and get it. Don't even consider the bad reviews."

I bought this Roku in a deal where Amazon offered me $ 10 off, but the price fell by another $10 soon after. :-( Doesn't matter, happens with electronics all the time. I did not even know what Roku is when I saw the deal, looked up its homesite, read online reviews and ordered it. It was more than easy to install and the on-screen usage was fairly straight forward. I immediately renewed my Netflix subscription after getting Roku.
I have an old tube TV, but the Netflix quality appears fine, even non-HD ones. Having Pandora, and other internet based radio channels is a great bonus. The unending list of other free and premium TV and video channels really makes it an attraction. I never used to watch the TV, after Roku, I'm always glued to it.
I never need to switch it off, if I'm not using it, it goes to stand-by - really nice.
It did not have Youtube out of the box, but I googled a bit, and found a kinda hack solution, having YouTube on my TV, just made it awesome. The remote is simple and easy to use, really even Grandma could use it. :)
Coming to the improvement areas, these are some things I would suggest
- Volume controls on the remote. Many times I use Roku to play just the radio using my remoteless speakers, and the lack of volume control is missed.
- the on-screen keyboard is simple, but somehow not very easy. I wish the remote was touch-screen. :D
- Browsing Netflix, or search by genre is something REALLY missing in the Netflix interface.
- Other than that, more or less I love my ROKU."

I dropped cable TV earlier this year. For all the channels, I found very little I wanted to watch and, when I did, it was overloaded with commercials. However, I missed having at least something coming into my TV :)
So... I got a Roku with the money I saved and have been very happy with it. I stream video from both Netflix and Amazon. I don't have to deal with commercials. I can use the savings from cable TV to buy an episode or season from Amazon. I go for SD (standard definition) because it's cheaper than HD.
My one recommendation is that you make sure your Roku has the latest software update. Mine didn't. When I got the update, I found that the Netflix user interface is much, much better than it had been. I just wish Amazon had a better user interface for Roku.
