The wireless portion of my first Roku box died. The wired portion still works. I had to route a 50ft cable through the attic from my router to it via a closet: not fun. Apparently, it is a known issue: the MAC address will become all zeros.

Other than that suckage, the boxes are great. I now have HD and HD XR boxes. The new Netflix channel update has been great overall. More and more channels have been added (some I was told about from Roku, others I just discovered within channel setup).

Had mine for a little over a year now and I love it. I really like buying video content on Amazon VOD because I do not have to pay for hard drive space locally to store it; it's all streamed. Between Netflix, Amazon VOD, Pandora, MediaFly, and Revision3 I've got pretty much all of my content providers covered.

As for the wifi issues WesleyHester mentioned, I have not encountered them. I use mine over wifi and have thankfully not had any issues.

2
Try not to answer with a question. Because that's not really an answer, right?
