Internet streaming media box

[Katie Wasserman]

I've had a Roku 2 XS for a year or so. It's been totally reliable and they've even upgraded the firmware a few times with new features. The remote control is pretty cool when playing their free Angry Birds but I really haven't much use for the motion control aspect of it. One nice, not-so-well-know feature is that the box not only operates via the bluetooth-linked remote but also accepts IR remote input. So a universal remote can control the box too. Built-in memory is limited however and you can only load a few dozen channels at a time, but it's very easy to swap them out or plug in a micro-SD card.
