rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kembry - I love gizmos, like a lot of guys, and tried reading about the Roku box after I saw an ad for it in my Netflix mailer. I found several positive reviews online, but was still skeptical. After having this little box for over a year, I can...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author VTMom - While the listing for the Roku player came up as product no longer available, it most certainly is. You can purchase them directly from Netflix/Roku through a link on the Netflix website or go to online stores like Amazon. The basic player is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ssjakira1 - When we moved to Missouri, we vowed never to get Comcast again. Instead, we opted to go with satellite, which seemed to be what everyone was doing. The channels we would receive were virtually the same and the price was a whole lot...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - I've been trying for a long time to convince my wife we need to get rid of cable. Or, at the very least, to cut down on the number of channels we get. It's just far too expensive these days, especially when you have to pay for a ton of channels you just...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baudilus - I've noticed that there aren't any recent reviews, and since the last review, Dish has continued to make improvements and enhancements to the software, and a lot of the complaints of other reviewers have been corrected. This review is based on the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tomalaya - I'm surprised the other review on this unit even gave it two stars! The processor in the box must be at least half what is required for it to do its basic functions. You can often hang the unit in a "gray screen." It's so slow to...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lansman - I have had 4 viewers tell me that when they tune our DTV station, their box shows video streaks, then turns off within a second or so. They power the STB back on, and it happens again. The firmware is faulty. Even if our station digital...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author razzman - I purchased a Coby DTV-102 digital TV converter box (for $45 at Fry's Electronics) and a Zenith DTT901 (for $50 at Sears) at the same time and brought them home to compare them on the same TV with the same rooftop antenna. Both boxes are eligible...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author three_ster - We have two DVR's in our house simply because we love television that much, and when it comes to having shows at the same time, we don't make decisions, but rather record them both. This particular DVR, or Digital Video Recorder, is the Motorola...
