My Review of Roku HD Player

Originally submitted at Roku

The new HD, with built-in wireless, delivers top value in high-definition streaming.

Simple enough Grandma can use it

By Roebot from San Diego on 10/25/2010

 

5out of 5

Pros: Built in Wi-Fi, Reliability, Easy to set up, High quality picture, Compact, Easy to use, Great value

Cons: Want more video choices

Best Uses: Living room, Primary TV

Describe Yourself: Technophile, Grandma loved it too

Seriously, my mother-in-law can barely manage sending and receiving email. She LOVED my Roku when she watched my kids for a week while my wife and me were in Europe. I intend to give these as Christmas gifts.

A couple lessons:
* Beware People who incessantly obsess about not “being screwed”. There’s a reason why they’re concerned about this and it’s likely they’re projecting their own thoughts.
* Management is a lot like parenting. Consistency, structure, and love are critical; so are boundaries.

I wrote about it at the MindTouch blog here: http://www.mindtouch.com/blog/2010/10/05/mr-fulkerson-goes-to-washington/ And I’ll have a summit wrap up out later this week.

Here’s my photo set from the visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roebot/sets/72157624999431897/with/5063560455/
