This little box rocks. I have killed of all but my local channels on cable. This may have been the best $99. I have spent in years.

My sons and I use it everyday. At first I was concerned about content, but there are like 12000 things to choose from…We have watched season 1,2 and in the process of season 3 of Heroes.

You have no idea how cool it is to see shows like this with no commercials. Tons of movies to choose from. I really like the fact that the company has more than delivered on what they promised.

I bought the box to add to my Netflix and now I can get amazon video on demand as well, and it didn’t cost anything for the upgrade. How often has that happened…I am getting a ton more than I paid for. LOVE IT.

I was already a rent-by-mail convert — switching between Blockbuster and Netflix for a couple of years. For an extra $99, this box has already piped in hundreds of hours of tv shows and movies, filling in the wait times between disks.

The Netflix instant movie selection started out not great, but recently they have rotated in some big films like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, pop hits like Superbad, the original “Grindhouse” double feature package, as well as lots of older and more obscure releases for adventurous cineastes like me, with NO extra charge to a regular Netflix membership.

The addition of Amazon streams will soon make a good thing even better, and more providers should be coming into the mix soon (Netflix has mentioned adding an HBO-on-demand service soon).

I’ve had the player since its introduction in summer 2008, and I’ve gotten enough milrage out of it that if it blew up today, I’d have gotten way more than my money’s worth.

I’ve heard a fair number of technical complaints from other owners, but mine hasn’t even had a single glitch since purchase.

With the exception of occasional problems at the Netflix servers, and rare errors in Netflix video encodes (for instance, they sometimes accidentally put the director’s commentary track onto a video intead of the theatrical soundtrack, but I think they’ve tightened up the quality control recently in this respect), it JUST WORKS! In these economic times, there’s a lotta bang for the buck in this tiny box!
