Perhaps cool. I honestly wish they'd change their approach to quality & bug reporting, though. I get the impression that all of their developers are so busy making new & shiny that the tools that we rely on everyday are just la

We cast our screens when talking about what to watch. But, I agree with you that that part of the experience is clunkier than Roku. On the flip side, the ability to stream anything is fantastic, and I think makes up for that deficiency.
