On paper, the Sony sounds great, since they have all the items I'm looking for, but the actual experience isn't as good (interface issues, issues with DLNA, etc....). So hopefully the Roku will be as good as I've heard, and I'll just get another one for myself.

I'll second that. I bought a Sony Blu-Ray Disc player about 10 months ago. While overall it's good, there are some really stupid things in the streaming side. In particular, the Hulu interface is just about useless. It handles each segment of program and advertisement as a separate stream, requiring a buffering period between each; it can't fast-forward or rewind across those boundaries; it doesn't remember where you left off watching a program. It's actually *worse* than broadcast TV. I have a friend with a Roku, and the Hulu is night and day better. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ < <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: <http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/> http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
