Heh. Just checked in to see which Roku box to buy. They’re available everywhere, of course, as would be expected of a hit product. Funny how hard that is to predict, but it certainly is.

Wow. I came across this article and boy was it way off. There are so many people kissing cable and satellite goodbye to just use a Roku box to stream Netflix and Hulu. Goes to show how narrow minded people are and slaves to the status quo.

Actually, Liquid, Roku has a search feature for Netflix. I figure a few more firmware updates and you’ll have a much richer selection for search parameters.

As for this article, eh, you win some, you lose some. Or a lot.

If only I could search by actor/actress and have access to the entire library available for streaming through Netflix without having to use my PC to do all this… Perhaps it’s not only a Roku limitation as I can’t do it on any other Netflix streaming device but a PC is still REQUIRED in order to do all that. This is the problem that lies with these devices… You’re handcuffed to a substantial degree using them alone.

Wow, sounds like the same guys that said the Light Bulb and later on Internet would never take root.

Maybe we should read your predictions and do invest in the stock of what you predict will fail. We could make some bucks…

Wow, was he wrong! Roku keeps getting better. I was looking to buy a used Wii so we didn’t have to keep moving our one Wii console from TV to TV but Roku is a much better device for TV and price. And now it has more uses than when this article was written. For my family, who does not have cable or dish this is a one time cost that will bring happiness to parents and children who want to watch two different movies simultaneously.

Why this article failed?

Because you were so wrong.
