    Overall, this was a great purchase for me because I wasn't getting my money's worth out of the Netflix fees I've been paying for a long time. Now I can search online for fun movies that are streamable and then go right into the movies whenever I want. It also has all of the other features and sites you can visit which makes it super versatile. It was definitely worth the cost. Very convenient and reliable entertainment!

    Slingbox streaming is a no go

    I bought this specifically for the slingbox streaming app. The slingbox app sucks big time. Streaming video is low bitrate and buffers too much when set to higher bitrate. Takes 30 seconds to send a remote control key press and get a response back from the slingbox with no support for the faster "control mode" streaming. Too cumbersome to be feasibly used for second room viewing even on a local network in your own home even on a 100mbps LAN connection. Because of this it now sits unused in my closet. I prefer my roku over this device. Only good thing it has going for it is the YouTube app. Aside from that your better off with a roku.

    My wife and I love to stream movies & series, but did not have a way to watch in our Bedroom. With this device and a few minutes time, I was able to hook this up to our WIFI and provider account. Then we were free to enjoy our products at a second location.

    Great buy... For the price.. Not wanting to pay high for roku then get this.. Has most apps needed to turn any tv to a smart tv.. Not big fan of the controller, but maybe it's just me.. I'm used to the play station controller for Netflix so this was a little weird but that's about it.. Overall great product

    Not worth it

    Tried this after checking reviews. Took it back after 2 days. A real pain setting up Netflix user name/password. Searching on Netflix not user friendly. The app did not work. After returning it we bought the Apple TV. In a word - truly amazing! Set-up was quick & easy. Our TV is also hooked up to our stereo, so we can listen to music from iTunes super easy. Can display photos from iPhone or iPhoto right to the TV. Yes, it's expensive, but worth it. No - we don't work for Apple.

    I really like it. Have a Roku as well - of course a little different set up/browsing to get used to - but works just as well. One downside: I wasn't aware that there was no A/V connection, only HDMI so this wouldn't work on older television. But for the money - I would definitely recommend this product!

    Use mainly for Netflix and worked great for the last few weeks. Recently having loss of Internet connection, seems to be caused by this unit. Turning it on shuts down the DSL connection, I don't know why and don't feel like waiting on hold for half a day with tech support to be told to 'unplug the power and reconnect' or 'follow the troubleshooting flow chart' in the back of the manual. Probably end up discontinuing Netflix and regretting the day I bought this door stop.

    My biggest complaint is that it is extremely slow navigating through the menus to you Reach the site you want. Roku navigation is much faster and well designed. Would not buy again. There are other better players available at similar prices.
