My Review of Roku 2 XS Streaming Player

Originally submitted at Roku

Adds an enhanced remote for playing games, plus extra connectivity options.


Not worth it

2out of 5

Pros: High quality picture, Built in Wi-Fi, Compact

Cons: Inconsistent performance, Difficult to set up, Want more video choices, Requires credit card

Best Uses: Secondary TV

Describe Yourself: Hulu plus user, Early adopter, Engineer, Netflix fan, Technophile

The unit occasionally locks up. Tech support was pretty good using chat. There are a lot of channels, but most of them offer subpar content. Great for Hulu and Netflix. Not useful for Youtube, Vevo, etc.

I think it is wrong to require a credit card just to start the Roku up, that should be optional. HUGE security risk for them to store my credit card info.

(legalese)
