Review: Roku XD Streaming Media Player


Once again what Apple designs, the rest of the world of electronics soon catches up with. First there was Apple TV, which connects to the Internet to allow you to stream multiple media sources including full length major motion pictures. Like everything else Apple designs, Apple TV restricts users of true freedom of choice.

Mett Roku XD a new wireless streaming media device. Hook up is easy and it connects either through an Ethernet connection or a wireless connection. Once connected, thousands and thousands of televisions shows, movies, radio stations, news streams, and underground videos are ready for you to access, and most of them are free.

It connects the basic services like Pandora and Netflix, but it offers so many more connections over the Apple TV, make this a better choice. Apple products often are designed as residual income earners for Steve Jobs, thus you have little choice. Roku once again breaks that mold, reminding one of the famous Apple 1984 commercial. Funny how things change.

It offers true 720p Hi Def, and the picture quality is really going to depend on your broadband internet service. Overall this is a really cool device that is going to change the way you watch television. You might even cancel your cable TV considering all the choices that mirror many of the cable channels include sports options from MLB to NHL.

At $78 at Walmart, it's a price you can't beat for so much entertainment.
