XBOX360 out Roku IN!

Bought my Roku 3 a few weeks ago for christmas.  wife made me wait until today to "get it"...  The Media Browser Channel is not too bad!  Simple and easy to get to your media collections!  Great job! 

 

I just want to report that ALL of the movies i was having issues playing on XBOX360 work perfect thru the Roku!  I just had a very small handful that stuttered or kicked you out to the XBOX main menu.  But they drove me crazy and i tried to encode them 3 different ways to get them to play.  Roku and no more issues with this handful of movies. 

 

The ONLY reason why i bought this was for media browser...  All my TV's in the house are "smart".  And Roku basically is a device that makes a TV "smart".  For the $89 it is well worth it for a Media Browser channel!

 

I couldn't find a search feature built into the Media Browser Channel (thats how Roku works via "channels"), so i hope that is something that is being worked on (or maybe its already incorporated and i just havent found it yet).

 

I wiil be changing out my other two xbox360's for Roku 3's shortly... 

 

As always GREAT job guys!

Yes it is being worked on.

 

As for the transition from xbox to roku, I think we're going to be seeing a lot of that.

I wish i had done it earlier now...  I believe your statement about seeing a lot more of this in the future.  The 360 market will (or should) turn into a Roku market.  I wasn't so sure it was the direction i wanted to go, but i could not be happier with the Roku.  MB3 in general has become such an AMAZING platform for all media on all devices...  Be proud of what you have accomplished!

 

I cant say it enough...  GREAT JOB GUYS!

i made the move this Christmas, will not be going back.

Significant Positives compared to XBOX - Silent, Lower Power, Subtitle support.

Yes, I am planning this also. Three Xbox to go on Ebay I guess. Fun while then lasted. I will then transition to MB Theatre as well. No need to run WMC anymore.
