Personal Review Review Roku 2 XD
Overall faster performance especially in menus, Wireless range and signal seems better than the previous models, Better looking menus and color schemes, Smaller Roku footprint. All in all, I have no idea how cable TV will compete with things like Roku. Between the price (free) and the range of great programs we can watch, we will never go back to cable TV.
