Roku or Boxee?

I am tired of paying $100 a month! What do you all recommend? A Roku, or maybe a Boxee? How about both? My main needs currently are a few shows on the USA Network, Doctor Who (OF COURSE), Thundercats 2011, and a few local television shows. Any direction at all will be appreciated!

well with a Roku you are limited as to what you can find on Netflix and Hulu. The Boxee Box on the other hand has both of those services but also lets you search the web and find shows, so if a show is on the USA website you can watch it from there using the Boxee Box. It basically launches a web browser and the flash video plays, it's not pretty but it works. Boxee Box also lets you stream media over your home network, the Roku does not. But both great devices Boxee is about double the price of the most expensive Roku but you get all the services of the Roku and then some.
