Dear Roku

I love you.

You came into my life only two weeks ago, but you have changed it so much. I can lay in bed and watch Netflix, Hulu Plus, (you get a free 2 wk trial on HP if you click that link and sign up) and all sorts of other channels without having to squint at a computer screen.

Ok all kidding aside. I love this thing. I don't even remember how I stumbled upon it, but I read a couple things about it, and decided it was worth the $100 to try and see. You can add all sorts of channels and watch your Netflix and Hulu Plus subscriptions plus lots of free content like Nowhere Tv, Tv.com, and Justin.tv that has all sorts of shows and movies and streaming channels (like the weather channel)

Roku 2 XS Streaming Player 1080

The XS model Roku 2 now comes with Angry birds (which my son is OBSESSED with) and a special motion remote (like a WII) that more games will be able to utilize soon

**NOTE

I wrote this post in March. Since then I have found tons more PRIVATE channels that totally gave me no need to have cable! Between Justin.tv and NokNok I have all the cable I need. I ordered 2 more Roku's and cancelled my cable! YAY!
