For those of us that don't feel like we need cable and only rarely watch OTA broadcasts the ability for GoogleTV to connect to cable or an antenna isn't very attractive. Roku's extensive list of additional channels, simplicity, and compactness are much more appealing.
- fjarlq 14y agoRoku doesn't support Youtube... that was a deal breaker for me.
- andybak 14y agoRoku also didn't use to support local media browsing. I know it does now - is it any good at it? (at least for video content this was one of Boxee's strengths) Also - how is Roku in terms of a 3rd-party app ecosystem? That is another essential in my books.
- chaostheory 14y agoIt does, but not well. You'll have to resort to Plex. Roku has a better app ecosystem than Google TV, more video channels in particular.
- HelloMcFly 14y agoYou can use Plex to get YouTube on Roku.
