I am just starting down the cable-cutting path, so this thread is well-timed for me.
I bought a Roku2 HS box and it’s OK but not great. Image quality varies greatly (I guess that’s to be expected) but a couple of the channels are just plain formatted incorrectly – the picture is zoomed in like eight times, so all you see is the upper left hand corner. Hulu+ works well. I’m still within the 30 day trial period and I haven’t decided whether to keep it or not.
I don’t have a DTV solution yet. I’d like to get one that does HiDef. The TiVo thing looks cool but I don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars or pay a monthly fee. DVR functionality is nice but not a requirement, and I definitely do not want yet another PC. I want some sort of standalone box with a real remote.
