<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with the ROKU. I have one of the newer ones and it has worked well. It has hiccupped only once since Christmas and a momentary power disconnect solved the problem. I stream Amazon, Hulu Plus (currently pissed at the ads inserted in old videos!), PBS, among others. The motion sensing remote works fairly well with Angry Birds. I have it hard-wired into the router and use a HDMI cable to the TV.</p>
