Review of Product: What a cool product! I was easily able to get it working through my wireless home network without any problems. It has so many uses, I am still figuring out all of the capabilities of it. I love that I can get a Netflix subscription and watch the movies right through the box, no waiting for the movie to come in the mail and no having to send it back! There are also many FREE features of the Roku including NBA game time and browsing through Facebook photos on the TV. The paid features are also nice, and the Amazon and MLB options are very attractive!
