Anyone else getting one? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/n ... ption.htmlhttps://shop.nowtv.com/£10 delivered for a reskinned/limited functionality Roku LT (720p) that is an iPlayer streamer out the box you can sideload Plex onto (or maybe even load a custom ROM) for everything else  _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Not really. I already have an Apple TV and with a few apps I can stream anything from my computer even if it is not in iTunes. By using airplay I do not need another box.

Can it YouTube? Even for free, I wouldn't want another box if it couldn't.

Mine was dispatched today, I'll let you know when it arrives. Edit: looks like there is of sorts with PlayTo at the very least (dev Plex working is confirmed so if you can watch Youtube on that it's a yes) http://www.rokuguide.com/channels/playtoYou can side load an app, Plex seems the most popular for obvious reasons _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Looks neat. When you get a chance , could you let me know what 4OD is like on it? It's bloody awful on the PS3... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

There is no 4OD on the standard box, only iPlayer and 5 On Demand, trying to get Plex configured for adding channels but it doesn't seem to like adding them _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

The only real benefit for me is the movie pass to Sky Movies. At 8.99 a month it is not bad, and I suspect that is the real reason that they are trying to sell it this way. The sports package is so overpriced it will not appeal to me. I just cannot justify the £9.99 per day to watch the American Football, especially because of the time broadcast it will go over two days each week so be very expensive.

Yeah, I remembered what you'd said about Plex and the channels, good luck with it. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Any joy with Plex, or is the project shelved for now?
