Pillowpants posted:I think what I've decided to do is to cut down on cable to basic cable to get the network channels ($10), buy HBO and Showtime ($20) and then use my roku/xbox 360 to watch Netflix and Hulu. IT's a lot cheaper than the $200 a month I'm used to. You pay $200 a month for tv shows?

savesthedayrocks posted:I don't have one personally, but I wouldn't hold my breath about the Rpi being better than the Roku. 256mb RAM. Like everyone else says, get a pre-built system or look for a used Revo1600. The rpi is not going to be better than a roku, pretty much period. I mean it's cool and I like mine, but I never bought it to serve as something like that.

Rubby posted:By way of offering another option, you may want to give the WDTV Live a try (IYG thread - which is slightly outdated, you might want to skip to the last few pages for the latest version of the player). These are great little boxes. I'm not a huge fan of the Netflix app streaming quality, however, as it doesn't look as nice as an Xbox 360.

I miss Jeopardy, and don't live in a place where I can get it (in Canada, the digital transition was poorly handled in my opinion, and where I am now I can't get a single OTA channel). I was thinking of getting a Slingbox and hooking it up to a headless cable box at my sister's in Kentucky, and tossing her a few bucks a month to cover the box rental. There are no caps and they barely use the Internet anyway, so I don't see that being much trouble. Thoughts?

For playing network shares of various video types, I really like the WD TV stuff. If you also want to watch Netflix, get the Apple TV. I have both, and I like both, but the Netflix quality on the WD TV is noticeably worse than the Apple TV or Xbox.

pr0k posted:Back to the new poo poo, I wish Hulu+'s interface didn't suck so much. As a developer it looks like someone in management thought if they could make the phone interface standard across the line, they'd save a ton of money. Try paying a better interface designer please. And if you're doing "agile" please stop you suck at it we hate you. I really wish Amazon could get an app onto the AppleTV. It's the best smart box on the market bar none in terms of responsiveness and ease of use.
