In my opinion, the Roku box is the best non-gaming streaming device in the market today thanks to the lineup of content available. And in case Santa didn't bring you one for the holidays, I'm giving away another NETGEAR Roku NTV250 player to one lucky reader of my blog. To enter the drawing, all you have to do is leave one comment on this post and make sure you submit the comment with a valid email address. The drawing is open to anyone with a mailing address in the U.S. and I will select one winner at random on January 31st.
Thanks to NETGEAR for the giveaways and congrats to Ron Ramkirpaul and Gina Sepowski who won the previous giveaways.
I'm not a techi but would really appreciate winning this device!

The Roku sounds like a winner. I know January 31st is behind us, but I'm putting my name in just in case you
plan to give another one away. Thanks for the comparisions of the 4 most popular units.

I hope these giveaways continue and your insights. Thanks!

Thanks for the review; perfect for the layman like me. It's going to be Roku all the way.

Hi, this is my first time reading your blog and have found it very helpful! I was looking for some useful information on what streaming media devices would cost and which one will satisfy my needs. Your post has allowed me to choose the Roku brand and if I'm lucky maybe I could win one from somewhere. Thank you for a good read and a chance to enjoy the Roku experience!

How many free channels are there on Apple TV, Roku or Sony Google TV. Is it worth it or should I stick with U-Verse?

Roku rocks just needs better media playback like the WD

Thanks for the comparison of the media streaming boxes. I have played with the Roku a little. I did not know that Sony even had a box. I wonder what new box will come out at CES this week?

I'm a Apple Fan but I think the Roku is the better way to go!

Best opinion i
I have read so far. I was pretty much leaning toward apple, but see that ROKU has a lot more going for it (at least this week). Who knows what series apple will turn out next?

Would love to actually win for a change..
Posted by: GM Reichert | Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 10:01 PM
Well, this makes my mind up for the Roku. Was leaning Apple, but this one is better.
