The Pros:More features and smaller size than the original Roku, all for the same price. Motion control remote that can be used to play games. Has a USB port that can be used to connect external storage and play back content.
The Cons:USB port no good for high bit rate media files such as MKV. No local network streaming, definitely a let down for some users. Takes abit of time to setup, connectthe cables, update the software, register your account, and customise the channels, can be tedious.
