- shawnc 14y agoRoku is the way to go, unless you want the Airplay features in your living room also - then get the AppleTV but you'll need to jailbreak it to install Plex. Worth it tho.
- jonny_eh 14y agoOr buy a Boxee Box for $199, it basically runs easy to use version of XBMC plus supports airplay.
- chrisbolt 14y agoSo does the Apple TV, for half the price.
- ShabbyDoo 14y agoI wish Plex on the Roku just turned my TV/Receiver/etc into a dumb yet high-quality media player. I don't want to use the awful Roku remote with a 10 foot interface -- I'm happy to use my laptop or phone as the control module and have the TV be little more than a digital "projection screen".
- Domenic_S 14y agoI use the Harmony One remote to control my whole setup, including Roku. It's not cheap, and it's a PITA to program (have to tether it to a computer to do it), but it works like a charm. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/remotes/universal-remotes/harmony-one-advanced-universal-remote http://www.logitech.com/en-us/remotes/universal-remotes/harm...
