[quote=CardiffBaseball]Plex has been pretty nice, I’ve been experimenting with that lately.
Plex is a media server you setup on a pc and you subscribe to the Plex channel with your Roku (or Apple). I don’t use Itunes much so I really didn’t bother looking at the Apple TV since Roku has what I need. I am sure it’s fine.
I can’t cut yet because of sports. That and the only shows I do watch (Dexter, Homeland, etc. ) are on the pay channels. Those I can get elsewhere but I just can’t put up with the whining and crying. Maybe when the kids are out I can cut the cord.[/quote]
Plex is fantastic. It also allows sharing of all your media files (pictures, music, DVR, movies etc.) to any other computer in the house, or with a minimal amount of setup, any computer anywhere along with your tablet or phone. I use it to stream the stuff my TV tuner card and DVR software record. As mentioned, there is a Roku “channel” that uses it, and for those using a PS3, it will find the Plex server without any setup. For those that REALLY want to geek out, take a look at XBMC.
