Roku XDS player
By JaChSz from Johannesburg, South Africa on 1/23/2011
Pros: Easy to set up, Great value, Compact, Built in Wi-Fi, Easy to use, High quality picture, Video selection
Cons: Want more video choices, NO Live News channel, Inconsistent performance, Need fast internet service
Best Uses: Living room, Bedroom, Primary TV, Secondary TV
Describe Yourself: Power User, Home entertainment enthusiast
The Roku XDS is value for money but you need above 4Mbps line speed to perform. Also no live TV channels you cant say alternate to Cable or satellite TV. Need to be improve in many areas. It's going to be difficult one all time.

It was great time with Iyappan, Sanjeev, Ramki & Satheesh (family). In this 2010 December lot of surprise and few Elderly people Rita parent's & Satheesh parent's were taken a part of this Tour.
Original Tour was only Me, Iyappan & Sanjeev part of this tour and it was planned well in advance.
