If you have used a Roku unit, this is a very similar experience. The updated hardware in a smaller frame is a nice touch as well as the redesigned remote, but the real experience is based on the software, which in this case is the same across all models.

While initially excited about getting the Roku XDS to support my cord cutting habits, ultImately the unit was sent back after several reboots, freezes, and general lagginess. I love the concept of a simple and intuitive streaming box, the Roku XDS is that solution. I think they're on the right...

I really love this thing. So much so that the fact that I have to reboot it from time to time doesn't really bother me. The content is fabulous. With both Hulu and Netflix, along with usb support it almost limitless. I own 2 of these, and canceled my cable subscription.

Perfect device for streaming all sorts of media to your television. The reason i bought this over the others was it supported my non HDTV with composite cables. I love the fact i can attach an external hard disk so i can play all the movies i have downloaded over the years.
