I would first like to point out how stupid can some people. If you thought the picture looked bad on the small screen of a computer and expect it wrong to look better on the big screen, you are serious. Although Internet connections are getting faster streaming of HD content is extremely taxing on the network, and since this is the first generation of HD-Roku player model, I am pleasantly surprised that it is quality. If you do not think that there are many options you have to understand that Netflix new titles added every week! Since the library is constantly expanding. You can not get it right or do not pay fancy prices to get the rights for streaming movies. It is putting a lot of legal red tape in obtaining the rights to the film in a network to look for people, and we will probably never get immediately Roku HD player now for the best price access to new releases (although it could happen) . In addition, most new films are rubbish, do yourself a favor and watch old movies and watch the classics, if you do not like it's not like you have to pay for it.
At the end you have to look at the price tag. It costs about the same price as the lower end of the DVD player and it has much more functionality compared to them. I would anyone watch the films of the period are happy to recommend. It's not a big investment, it is not ideal for everyone, but remember, the firmware update, I'm willing to bet that the HDMI output 5.1 surround sound get som e time Roku HD player price in the near future. If you wait for the HD model, out, remember, you can pay twice as much, not more, if for a higher resolution.
