You bought a Roku for a feature that it didn’t have yet and were disappointed when it was late?

I’m a software developer (not for Roku), and let me just tell you… do not believe anything we say with regard to deadlines or availability dates. Unless you know for sure the feature exists, it doesn’t.

I agree with both the blogger and Scott. I signed up for mlb.Tv’s postseason TBS coverage (just the division series and NLCS) and it turned out it had 10 camera angles but NOT the actual TV stream. So you couldn’t see replays or stats or anything the commentators were talking about, just the raw camera footage. I was so bait-and-switched but since it only cost 4 bucks i didn’t waste my time complaining knowing that mlb wouldn’t care (since they team up with Comcast and the likes). I’m wondering if that same bait-and-switch was done for Roku, or did Roku get the postseason?
By the way I also tried a free early season thing – and it never worked. They made it sound like I could watch my team but then they told me it was actually only one game of their choice – and to make it worse they never told me what their chosen game was or how to watch it.
Weird.

Folks, the article above is what happens when anyone can host a blog and post their opinion. It might be tempting to dam_ everyone at roku for flubbing up, but when you consider what their product (and others like it) are on the cusp of doing for our entire meaning of home entertainment, it’s an amazing accomplishment. As a product designer and a follower of trends, I am impressed by roku and the other products like it.

Like many others, I was tired of the Satan named Comcast and decided to give roku a try. My family, while understanding that we are early adopters and will no doubt experience roku’s growing pains, are thrilled to reduce our cable bill from $110 a month (Satan, er, comcast) to $18 a month (hulu and Netflix). If the author thought roku was a direct replacement for Satan, I mean comcast, then he did not do much research. Roku, and others like it, are babies in the world of streaming content and will grow up to be amazing services…much better than the grumpy old man in the corner named comcast.

MLB and Roku have been good for us – not perfect, but way better value combination than anything else I know of.

As for the burnt out lightbulb school of retail (and now brown M&Ms) – I guess if you are looking for perfection, then that’s as a good a way as any to check for it. I’m generally looking for good value, not perfection.
