You can call them to see if they know (866-406-7833). I see that some have it on their Roku (via google searches which brings up twitter or facebook) but I am unable to find a code.

Awesome and thanks for the heads up.

Let me know how you like it.

I was very curious about Roku, and after reading this thread, wondering what updates you have on these devices. Does it cut out? Are all the channels pretty clear? Is NASA TV cool?

We get Nasa TV on our cable provider (because this is Space City). It's really boring, except during a shuttle mission, and those are over.

Well that's a bummer. I'll have to check what else in on Roku.

I have a NETFLIX streaming subscription. I DO NOT have a hulu plus subscription. Do you need one of those for ROKU? I didn't see where it said whether or not you would.

I am really happy with my dish network (8 inches of snow yesterday and ZERO signal loss) but the on demand is a little lacking. They have the blockbuster movie pass that but that is pretty weak--a little weaker than netflix.

If you're using anything other than a computer (Mac/PC) then you'll need Hulu Plus AND you'll be limited to what's offered on Hulu+ (which is far less than Hulu free + a computer).

I strongly suggest that if you're going to cut the cord that you go with something like a Mac Mini or an equivalent for Windows (something you can plug into the TV) so you're not limited by the stupid restrictions.
