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.
