apple tv, Roku, NetGear Neotv whats good, what sucks?
School me on these: I want one that does apps, youtube, netflux, hulu etc... what are my options? |

I have a logitech revue with google tv and I like it a lot. The reason I like it is that I can connect a usb hard drive and play HD movies in digital form if I want. Lots of the newer boxes dont do that. I also have an IO gear in the other room that works well. I can surf on either and I can add apps to either. Good luck with your search

Apple TV is ok if you already have Apple stuff. I have a Roku, but it may as well just be a Netflix/Amazon streaming box. I don't use much else on it. If you don't already have a video game console, get a Wii. It'll probably do everything you want, and you can get Super Mario Bros. on it.

Good luck with your search that sounds really nice. |

I have 3 Rokus (2x Roku 3s and a HD) that replaced dedicated HTPCs. Couldn't be happier with them. Hulu and Netflix both have good interfaces. I use Plex for all my local media, YouTube, and TED talks. Fantastic little boxes.
If they had a HDHomeRun Prime channel I would throw money at their headquarter's front doors.
