Great product!

Great sound, great look, fast, easy navigation. The only issues I've had with it have all been centered around getting the network connection with Windows Media Server (WMS). While it was working fine with WMS I eventually moved to FireFly (Roku's OpenSource Media Server) and WOW, what a difference. It is easier to setup, with less problems, and on top of that it gets the information for my 11,000+ songs in about two seconds where it took WMS 30 seconds to do the same thing. We love our Roku!
Very good, not perfect, but good!

I had more trouble getting it to talk to my Airport Express network than your reviewer, but I definitely fall into the "novice user" category. The direction booklet doesn't say anything about MAC (machine address code or Media Access code depending on who I ask) filtering and it was a bugger to eventually figure out that was what was preventing it from connecting. Once I did, it work just like it should have from the very start. I have the feeling that if this had been an Apple product, it would have worked as easily as your reviewer's stated. Nonetheless, I like it alot, though I wish it natively support FLAC formatted songs. I also haven't figured out how to simply "STOP" it from playing w/out selecting a new song or resorting to pause. (Mayhaps they have fixed this in the software updates... I haven't gotten that done on mine yet.) The buttons on the remote feel a bit cheesy, causing me to wonder how durable it will be and I wish the display could be set to simply blank when in play. All said though, its what I wanted, it seems to work like a champ, it is great looking (God knows I don't need another 'black box' in my house) and priced reasonably. If only it were made in USA... but now I'm REALLY dreaming..
Excellent

After eight months of frustration with a Netgear 101 I just plegged this in and it worked. Works very well with Windows Media Conecct as the server only thing I feel it lacks is a headphone socket with a volume control
