+1 for Roku as a general thing. Fast UI, very broad app support, good cross-app search capabilities.
The downside, and I think the trend is unfortunately in this direction, especially given the article's comments about Roku's potential acquisition, is the increasing obtrusiveness of advertising, both for random shit and for Roku's own streaming offering. Hard-coded streaming service buttons on the remote. I want them out of the advertising business and the content business and in the hardware and platform business. At the very least let me buy my way out of the advertising model.
