Until you receive some real-world reviews of the thing, I would hold off on buying one of these. The review in my local newspaper rated the video as "watchable," not very high honors in my book. Further, this thing has no harddrive, so you are entirely dependent on your iNet bandwidth (no real buffering). Lastly, and the thing that I would fear the most, is the "rewind" feature. In order to "rewind" or even jump back 10 seconds in video (like all of us PVR fans have grown quite fond of), the box has to tell Netflix where it is in the video, start the download again at the requested spot, then start the video up again. Reportedly, this takes 1-2 minutes to accomplish. In today's "I want it now" world, I just don't think that the Roku box will cut it.
