But Roku already has some things already built in. Including a very functional remote. Sure all of that can be created on a raspberry pi - but is it really worth the effort? Plus cost wise, Roku would be cheaper than a raspberry pi by the time you add up the cost of all the individual components.

Plus, a lot of people already own a Roku and not a Raspberry Pi.

Yeah, I've gone the raspberry pi route for a tv connected home media center, I'm much happier with a bunch of Rokus & a remote Plex server. It's 100x more polished than even the best open source projects, and it is no effort on my part to keep them up to date and functional. Just one less thing to think about, making room for other fun projects. I'm excited about this being released.
