Do you like green screens?

A great product with a significant flaw but not worth much until Roku gets it fixed.

Easy setup. Flawless NetFlix HD streaming video. Nice user interface.

Every time the TV is turned on, the screen for the Roku input (HDMI) is green. The Roku box needs to be rebooted (powered down and then powered back up) or unplug and then reconnect the HDMI cable to get rid of the 'Green Screen'. No reset feature...

Works great!

As for the previous reviewer - they certainly don't know what they are talking about. The Netgear is a Roku XD, just as it's clearly printed on the front of the unit and the Roku XD does not offer USB support to provide video streaming. If he wanted...

Very compact, extremely easy to use, and offers a large range of streaming services. I primarily use the Netgear Roku to watch NetFlix and AmazonOnDemand movies. Steaming is very fast using either my wireless network or running a network cable to it....

Doesn't offer Hulu - just Hulu Plus.

NETGEAR NTV250-100NAS

I would really like it if streaming from my computer was an option as I have many movies ripped to my hard drive and would prefer not to switch over to the dvd player and swap out discs, but I guess that Netflix streaming solves that too.

Slim design. Simple remote. Clean interface. Great price. Now offers Hulu so I can ditch my cable provider and save $100 a month. Puts Apple TV to shame.

Can't stream video from my computer. Previous review says the official Roku branded box can. I read a review on Engadget but it never mentioned that feature. Perhaps that was a previous generation box.

Buyer beware

Is very easy to use straight out of the box. Netflix setup is a snap.

Is a stripped version of the Roku XD (basically just a netgear branded HD). They took away the ability to stream from inside your own network and also removed the slot for a card. So basically it's just a huge commercial piece of junk.
